I’m on a roll here bringing you yet another Friends’ Faves recipe. The challenge – baking potatoes. Can you make this without a conventional oven Christine asked? I’m confident was my response. I have ‘baked’ potatoes before – my favourite being the Salted Baked Potatoes and Roasted Garlic (recipe here), and another potato favourite in my galley is Potato Stacks – an elegant way to serve the lowly potato (recipe here). But as you might have figured out by now,…
Well this is fun! I put out feelers on my last post to ask my Galley Peeps to challenge me in my teeny tiny kitchen. Calling it my Friends’ Faves series. Barb’s Sweet Potato Soup was a big hit (recipe here). One of my peeps reached out with this awesomely delicious and super easy chicken recipe. Can you re-create this in your stove top oven she asked? Heck yeh! I even went a step further than I usually do and…
I love it when friends share their yummy recipes and this one is certainly going on my regular rotation. Super easy to make with lots of healthy ingredients. We have guests coming soon so this will be the perfect dish to stash away in the freezer for an impromptu meal along with my go-to biscuit recipe after a day of site seeing (recipe for biscuits here: CALLIE’S CHEESEY BISCUITS) It’s not necessary, but roasting the veggies adds lots of extra…
Did you ever think you would see ’addictive’ and ‘Brussels sprouts’ coupled together. Well, this might just be the recipe to tip all those sprout haters into sprout lovers. Savoury and sweet all in the same dish with a little added crunch of charred Brussels sprouts, it makes the perfect side dish. But today was to be one of our meatless days and I wanted this to be the main event so I added some crumbled bacon and quickly seared…
Hi there from your absent Galley Kat. We’ve been so busy here in our little home by the sea that I can barely turn around before another round of guests from away arrive. I’ve been told to stop being such a good Welcome to Nova Scotia ambassador but when you’re so much in love with living in paradise it’s really hard for me to stop shouting it from the roof tops. I know that in my last post (recipe here:Easy…
Hi there my Galley Peeps. I’m so glad you dropped by for a visit today. I’m cooking up a delicious Korean meal for you. Some very intense spice going on here but it’s all balanced nicely with crunchy cucumber pickles, steamed broccoli, a pile of fluffy basmati rice (I used the brown version this time) all nestled beside some tasty sautéed ground chicken. The Korean spice isn’t really over the top and you can add or subtract the amount…
My daughter invited us to dine with her a while ago and made the most delicious vegetarian meal. The flavours for such a simple dish were so intense served with a side of fluffy rice and a few squares of crispy salty paneer, I just had to do a repeat performance for the two of us. My husband, a meat lover, was amazed that a bowl of simple vegetables could be SO good. We had some leftovers so I mashed…
Hi everyone, thanks for dropping by… I’ve been a busy busy Galley Kat this week with projects, both indoors and out, screaming to be attacked. I did, however take the time to write up today’s offering for you… a trifecta of deliciousness… and all plant-based to boot. Tasty veggie packed burger mixture with the added protein punch of crunchy quinoa and salty halloumi….a smearing of home made hummus….and a spicy crispy slaw to round it all out. The carrot mixture…
A very long day, our weekend guests had just left and I really didn’t feel like turning around and making supper. Where’s my glass of wine and foot stool? I’ll just sit here while someone cooks. No offers? No, don’t get up, I take care of it (me walking toward the kitchen). This will have to be a ‘shop my pantry’ meal. I found one head of broccoli in the refrigerator wanting some attention. There was also a can of…
Well hello there folks. Thanks for stopping by today and do I ever have a wonderful creation for you!. It began with a simple pasta concoction earlier this week using my new spice crush…Urfa Biber (I haven’t yet found a local source but this company provided a very good online service – click here)…it’s a Turkish spice that offers a wonderful hit of heat without all the fire. On a 1-10 heat scale it measures in at about 4. The dish…
