After talking to some great cooks at the recent Lake Powell CBGT pot-luck dinner, I thought I'd post a request here for some of the wonderful "boat" recipes you've all come up with over the years. You know, the easy kind with 5 Ingredients or less (except for Chris who can use up to 10) Recipes should probably include ingredients that can store well on a boat....probably no "Baked Alaska".
I'll post a few of my own when I have a better Internet connection....currently heading out of Bullfrog Bay.
I LOVE Lake Powell and enjoyed meeting all my new C-Brat friends! _________________ Mary Casebeer

Here's my favorite easy and difficult to spill (relative to a glass) boat cocktail - take one can of minute maid lemonade - take a sip and pour in a shot (or a bit more) of good gin. Just two ingredients. Does that count?
Sides:
But seriously, for me it's hard to beat a good side dish of potatoes and onions cooked in an aluminum foil pouch (either on the grill or on the stove). Potatoes and onions store well. To prepare, thinly slice them, add salt and pepper to taste and add a little olive oil. Wrap in foil and cook. Serve directly from the foil and throw the foil away. No mess. I do the same with yellow beets or sweet potatoes. With sweet potatoes, I like to add a little cayenne pepper for heat.
Rice also stores very well on a boat and with shore power or generator and a rice cooker it makes another good side dish.
Main courses:
On a boat it's pretty hard to beat most any kind of freshly caught fish. Again these can be cooked on or in aluminum foil. A small number of spices or sauces kept on board really help. For white fish, it like to use just a little garlic butter. For salmon, Tom Douglas salmon rub. I also almost always have some Try-Me Tiger Sauce on board for either the rice or the fish. Tortillas also store and travel well so fish tacos is a common treat on board with either salsa or Cholula sauce (I like the chipotle version).
Since I have a convection oven and grill on board, we have plenty of options for types of cooking. In the convection oven I made many fritatas this summer. I just took a 9" pan, coated it with olive oil and tossed in my thinly sliced onion and potatoes. I add in 4 whipped eggs, toss in the left over fish from the previous night's dinner and toss it in the oven to bake. Once it's set, I grate some cheese on top and stick in back in on broil for a minute or two. It's a great breakfast and the left overs (if there are any) keep well for lunch. I also do cinnamon rolls in there for breakfast or other canned pastries.
None of the above is super creative but the common thread is that they are easy and the ingredients store well. _________________ Roger on Meant to be |

Well I think this is great, but I doubt if anyone will agree with me. Mix hot instant oats (porridge) with a can of sardines in tomato sauce. Non-fattening, minimum cholestrial, yummy. My wife says it looks gross. Means more for me.

Martin! No Canadian secrets for long life and happiness and wealth. You eat that you get all three! Here is one sundowner. 2 ice cubes, 1 1/2 oz capt morgan spice rum. 3/4 fill glass with pepsi top up with any juice found on board stir well. To be consumed when secured either docked or anchored. Makes 1 round of Kerri On Swampwater. Looks kinda murky. Umbrellas if you gottem live large. I like to slice carrots, onions, broccoli garlic zuccini etc what's in your cooler all together with cod or salmon and a bit of lemon and spice rum in tin foil toss on the barby. George |

I stand by our bag of Hershey Kisses and a bag of Doritos for pot luck contribution. Minimal cooking, maximum taste:) _________________ You can tell a man his wife is ugly, but never ever criticize his dog, his gun, his truck or his boat.

Martin-
Scandal-Navian MRE?
Add Vodka and blend to make a Viking Sunrise?
What would it register on a Breathalizer? 9.2 on the Richter Scale?
Bet you'd be arrested, but sent to the local SPCA Cathouse instead of the county jail……..
Might be a staple for those training for a Triathelon. Discontinue if fingers and toes develop webbing…
Prohibited in singles bars….
I'll put it on my Bucket List! ………NOT!

I like oats and occasionally sardines but I have never heard of mixing them. Do you make the oats with hot water before adding the sardines? I might have to try this. Good thing it is not too expensive, because if I don't like it I don't think the cat will eat it. |

Yep. Add the hot water first to the oats before mixing with the sardines. I also sprinkle in some dried raisins as well, but I did not mention that in the first post. Trying to keep to the minimalist thread of the subject. Of course, the raisins may put your cat off !

One that we like is a fried striper fillet.
Prepare a rub of "Pride of the West" batter mix, and a creole or cajun seasoning. Go easy on the seasoning unless you like things good and spicy. My guess is that it's about a 12 to 1 mix. Drop the fillets a few at a time into the bag, shake to get good coverage, then place on a plate.
A good hot skillet, a decent oil, and leave it on long enough to get a golden brown look to each side. Place on a plate with paper towels to get excess oil off the fillet. Lemon or tartar sauce if you want, although we find it's fine just as it comes out of the skillet. _________________ "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

Hey Casey. Does this mean an upgrade in your cooking skills from "I don't cook... I thaw"? Or getting ideas for long term travel cooking? George |

George, Casey thaws and then cooks. He made me a fabulous salmon dinner with spicy salsa corn last night. Don't let him fool you with all that "I don't cook, I thaw" garbage...he's a man of many talents! |
