I think Eggs Benedict or any of its many versions is one of our favourite breakfast/brunch meals. It does however mean several stages of prep and more than just a pan or two to put it together (toasting the muffins, grilling the ham, poaching the eggs, not to mention whipping up that perfect Hollandaise sauce). In celebration of tomorrow’s National Eggs Benedict Day, I threw together (almost literally too) an easier version with all the main components and pretty much…
My man is at it again and voluntarily too. After the encouragingly huge success of his Marinated Ginger Tuna Steak (recipe link here), he asked to enter my galley arena once more. We recently enjoyed an evening with a group of boat friends at a pot luck house party. Someone’s contribution was ham cooked in beer. Divinely delicious! …which inspired Captain’s latest creation. GRILLED BEER MARINATED HAM STEAK what you’ll need Ham steaks, about 6 Captain used a piece…
…Big surprise… no Pillsbury dough was sacrificed in the process! Captain François is diving into this galley cooking with such enthusiasm! Today I was allowed in for a brief period to bake some boat bread but then I had to retreat. I was allowed to take photos but that was it. He even made our preparing-dinner-cocktails (now that would be a great future post! – Captain’s Cocktails) WHITE BEAN and HAM SOUP Serves 8 2 cans of 19 oz white…

WHEN EASTER HAS PASSED… All this talk about baked hams and scalloped potatoes has left me craving Easter food. Not those chocolate eggs but the real food of which childhood memories are made. I’m talking about rich creamy scalloped potatoes.. I don’t have my Mom’s recipe but I do remember that she used to also make the best new potatoes in a creamy parsley sauce. So I’m adding parsley. I’m not sure if she added cheese to her sauce –…
Well not quite aboard… still a lot of water to subside before our R.E.D. is ready for another season… but the Galley Kat is making plans… and dreaming… Traditional Easter dinners at our house would include baked ham, all poked with cloves and covered in pineapple slices and my Mom’s brown sugar glaze (remember those Good Housekeeping pictures?), scalloped potatoes (still the best I have ever eaten), at least 2 or 3 vegetable dishes, and how many desserts? – fruit…
