Digging into my stash of Friend’s Faves submissions, I found this delicious recipe for easy butter chicken from Ginny, using ground chicken made into tender juicy little meatballs, floating in a buttery tasting tomato sauce. The surprise was how buttery it all tasted with only a small amount of butter added at the end. This would be the perfect time to try making the meatballs, blenditarian style. Never heard of it? Well, it’s a great way to cut down on…

I have a very easy tasty Asian inspired meal for you Galley Peeps. Pork meatballs so full of flavour and tender cooked on a bed of greens in my Omnia stove top oven but you could easily make in a covered wok or baking dish. Don’t be thrown off by how ‘soupy’ the meat mixture is. It came together very well once browned on each side and produced such juicy results. If you wish, substitute Chinese cabbage roughly chopped for…
Ah, the wonderful holiday season when we share all that the season has to offer….including the dreaded virus. We returned from our wonderful family travels with hearts full and noses dripping. Luckily we had provisioned well and menues were planned with easy healthy meals for holiday down time.

This post is actually two recipes in one because sometimes Happy Hour is all that’s necessary if you offer all or most of…
Still breathing, still kicking, still haven’t killed each other. According to the Whole 30 timeline we are about to hit the ‘Kill all things‘ phase, so I planned our meals with lots of carb-dense veggies to help offset any carbohydrate withdrawl. On Day 3 though there was a moment when I felt a serious PMS session coming on but without the P or the M. At one point, François said: “Leave it to me to find your one last nerve!”…

My love affair with all things Ikea continues…. we outfitted our boat cabin with handy Ikea items… we installed cupboards for storing boats gear in our land home… so why not further celebrate all things minimal, Swedish and Ikea with an easy Galley supper? My Mom used to make Swedish meatballs. I remember the juicy tender meatballs swimming in a wonderful rich creamy sauce as if it were yesterday. …but I don’t have her recipe.. not even sure she had…
