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 […]

Some sautéed veggies… Seasonings and coconut milk… Add the marinated fish… And you’ll be ready […]

During the transition of closing in Montreal and closing here in Nova Scotia we have been staying with my daughter, […]
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.

Onions and lots of garlic sent wafts of intoxicating […]

I made a couple of baguettes today and just seeing them cooling on the counter all golden and inviting started me craving garlic bread. This should go together very well with something else I’m cooking up for supper today and will make my bread-lovin’ Captain over the top happy to have some freshly baked bread to dive into. Since I seem to be on a […]
A good friend invited us to a neighbouring boat club a fews days ago for their Greek-themed family barbecue night…. So many delicious dishes, one of which was a broad bean salad, and a green pea salad. Now this following salad isn’t like the two above mentioned but with them as an inspiration I created one of my own, keeping to my ‘prepare once eat […]
