I’m still on my comfort food kick here in my little land galley by the sea. Did you check out my previous post with a composite of fave casseroles (CASSEROLES for COMFORT)? It’s a pleasure for me, as the creator and keeper of a blog, however small, to have perfect strangers visit from time to time and even more of a treat to have to […]
Hi there my galley friends. Do I ever have an easy one for you to try today. Well yes, mac and cheese if already a simple and go to standard but what if I told you it could be ready in as little as ten minutes and at least half of that time is hands off cooking. That’s right, three minutes in the pressure cooker […]
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 […]
Having one of those days. Don’t want to cook. Don’t know what to cook even though I have a well planned database to choose from and a pantry and refrigerator fully stocked. I just DON’T FEEL LIKE COOKING!!! Let’s see what miracle I can pull from the cupboard. Always conscious of a balanced meal…protein, vegetables and some carbohydrates…I find a can of salmon…I find a […]
I hope you don’t feel inundated with my latest flurry of blog posts. I’ve not been inspired to write much lately…that is until this week. So many recipe successes have given me the push I needed during this winter down time. While Francois uses his latest purchase to evacuate a blocked gutter, a fibreglass ladder (note the very cool orange colour) and shovels our first […]
Isn’t this the time of year for soups? Belly warming, rich, flavourful soups. And to be honest, when it comes to galley prep, I’m lazy. That’s what’s so appealing about living with restrictions…both in what’s available and environment. No one expects fancy pants elaborate meals when all you have to work with is a boat cooler and a one-burner alcohol-sometimes-with-electricity-fueled stove. Some of the best […]
I have a tasty dish for your Meatless Monday, Galley Peeps. It took next to no time in the pressure cooker. Or for those of you lucky enough to own an Instant Pot, you will barely have time to set the table. This recipe is great on days when you don’t have a lot of time to cook but want something hearty to fill your […]
As some of you know we have been homeless for the past few months. Our condo in Montreal sold and closed the 12th October. All our wordly possessions were packed into an 8’x8’x16’ POD moving container which is now waiting for delivery this coming week. During the transition of closing in Montreal and closing here in Nova Scotia we have been staying with my daughter, […]
I’m afraid that I’m hooked on spicy extreme beans. It used to be dill pickles but oh that spice and crunch sends me over the moon. I buy them in large jars but recently the frugal Galley Kat in me was resenting wasting all that tasty brine. So I made me some pickle brine potato and green bean salad. Within a few minutes pressure cooked […]
More and more I’m appreciating the beauty of using my pressure cooker. A little sauté time and one minute under pressure and bang we were ready to eat. In fact, it took less time than making the sweet and sour sauce and that took just five minutes. I kept half the cabbage slaw to add after pressure to give a little extra crunch to the […]
