I’ve been making my own pita bread for a number of years now because…well…because it’s too easy not to ((link here to my old recipe: Stove Top Pita). Recently though I ran across an even easier method. No yeast required with very little kneading and I’m liking the results even better. Once the dough is mixed you need only 30 minutes of rest time before forming. It makes eight 8” rounds, Add a pinch or two of dried herbs or…
The discussion we have every year around Christmas time is ‘to stuff’ or ‘not stuff’….the turkey…not our bellies. Stuffing the bird means a wonderfully flavourful result with all those juices infused into the bread crumbs but cooking is longer to make sure you don’t kill your guests and in my opinion, it tends to over-cook the turkey. So this year the decision has been made to ‘not stuff’. Give a cheer for getting one thing made ahead! All the…
What, you ask? Are they biscuits or are they rolls or are they muffins? Well in truth they have a bit of an identity crisis. They have a texture similar to dinner rolls but they have no yeast in them….and they are made in a muffin tin. So I named them Biscuit Muffin Rolls. One bowl, one spoon, eight little muffin cups makes for a super easy clean-up too. Don’t you think? I played around with the ingredients, keeping the…
I’ve had this hanging around in my data base for ages and I now wonder why I waited SO long to try it. Got the recipe from another boater who blogged about something or other (I honestly can’t remember what it was about…so long ago) and in the conversation he mentioned making English muffins. You mean in your boat oven I asked? Stove top was his answer. Well, said I. Please share! And he did and here I am well…
Did I really miss posting last week? So sorry Galley Peeps. Time does fly when moving in, unpacking, and nesting takes over one’s life. We are almost settled though…at least the main living areas of our little RED by the Sea. Boat parked outside, all nicely covered in her winter blanket, her veins flushed through with anti-freeze. I found great recipe for you on allrecipes.com. I used my bread machine to keep this more on-the-boat-authentic but if you don’t have one…
Finding ways to improve conveniences in our tiny galley is always welcomed and this next recipe is simply brilliant in its simplicity. We love grilled cheese. We enjoy them often. They are easy to throw together, tasty, satisfying and depending what you serve with them or add to them, a complete meal. So what if I tell you that you can make grilled cheese even easier? Mix all of these flavourful ingredients together and keep them in the refrigerator until…
Here I am playing with my food again. This time it’s to find yet another way of providing my Frenchman with his bread fix. With no oven on our little boat, I rely heavily on my Omnia stove-top and occasionally to a lesser degree our back-of-the boat barbeque. Curious about all the ‘Cloud Bread’ recipes floating around, I thought I’d give it a try. Could a base of eggs and cream cheese with no flour really produce bread? …
Keeping simple galley methods in mind I transformed my favourite banana bread recipe into individual muffins baked in my Omnia Stove Top Oven. A dozen perfect little hand treats resulted. What made them even better was the addition of Maple Bacon Butter smeared over their already rich moist warm surface. Sadly they never last very long once Captain gets wind of their existence but they are so easy to make that once I have another ripe banana or two…
On good sailing days, breakfast onboard R.E.D. is usually really simple. Getting an early start to catch the best wind is the priority, so quick and dirty – eat, wash up and untie the lines is the way we go. Then there are those days when we like to laze around, when around the crack of noon breakfast has turned into brunch. While Captain is up on deck with his second cup of coffee, wiping off the morning dew or…
My foodie friend from afar – Nagi of the famed Recipe Tin Eats has done it again. This recipe idea is brilliant! All her recipes are, by the way, awesome – all beautifully presented with tasty looking images. But for the purpose of my tiny galley focused blog I choose the ones I can reproduce with limited resources and space. The rest of her recipes I have been stashing away in my favourite Recipe Tin app for future use. Imagine…
