Hi there Galley folks. As we head into the colder days, I’ve been taking stock of some basics in my little land kitchen. I’m not a big fan of frequent shopping trips especially looking ahead to some nasty wintery days when I would much rather be curling up with a good book or binge watching some seasonal faves. Today’s recipe is one of those great […]
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 […]
Here’s a tasty one for you Galley Peeps. It was inspired by one of our home delivery plant-based meals. A simple risotto with a Tex Mex flair. You’ve probably noticed that I’m big on making my own spice mixes. For one thing, in my tiny galley there’s precious little space for a gazillion spice containers. And we do love our Mexican type foods so this […]
I have a super easy and quick two for one recipe post for you today, my Galley Peeps. In truth it’s actually three because I added my recipe for gravy mix which comes in handy if you don’t have real chicken stock on hand. Now that we are off-season country dwellers, I have become very conscious of supporting local enterprises. My latest find is ordering […]
Encouraged by the delicious results and popularity of his Honey Roast Duck a while ago (recipe here), Francois asked permission to invade my land galley once again and I’m lovin’ it! He cooks (I’ve never had any of his creations that haven’t been super delicious). He cleans up after himself (how could I ever complain about that). Added to that, he’s just an all round […]
Just because I’m not a football fan (oh the shame!) doesn’t mean I can’t offer you something yummy to nosh on during this year’s big game. Just throw meat and all into a big bowl, dive in with both hands (properly washed of course) and squish all of those aromatic ingredients together. Serve warm with some tzatziki for dipping and a side salad. An icy […]
Desperately needing some fish. After all the moving stuff and at times not so healthy eating I really felt like something fresh from the sea. Afterall we’re now living just a few paces from St-Margaret’s Bay and some of the freshest harvest from the sea so tonight is the night. Some sautéed veggies… Seasonings and coconut milk… Add the marinated fish… And you’ll be ready […]
Time to add a little heat to the galley today. Another chilly rainy day and I have a good book to curl up with. No time to be messing around with time consuming meals. Six chicken thighs and a handful of vegetables, some olives and lemon for a Mediterranean flair and we had a tasty meal in a little over one-half hour. Being the frugal […]
Today’s recipe qualifies as an easy meatless meal. Lots of garlic, broth and ginger for the base. Eggs and bok choy filled in the rest to give us a well-rounded nutritious supper. I used vegetable broth but chicken or beef broth would add extra dimension. I’ve also used a spoonful or two of miso paste in the past for that added immunity-probiotic boost. Loosen […]
Now that the weather is improving…slowly…but any improvement is welcomed… I’m beginning to make plans for summer boat life. This means easy quick meals, prepared with simple fresh ingredients. Tonight’s meal was one of those winners…so much so that although I made enough for two servings we both wished we could have gone back for seconds. Onions and lots of garlic sent wafts of intoxicating […]
