Boat Food

Several weeks ago, my husband bout a sailboat. It has been his dream since forever.  It is a Freedom 28 Cat Ketch. It sleeps the family nicely without us tripping over each other too much. But it is also not a big monstrosity.  It is our goldilocks boat.

Anyway, I thought I'd share what we've been eating on the weekends, mainly to get ideas down the road when I just can't think.

The boat has a two burner stove and a refrigerated icebox. I try and do as much prep work at home before we go, so I will just need to warm something in a pan on the stove and cut some veggies or salad.

We also have begun eating cereal on the boat.  I usually make a big batch of granola.  We are not big cereal people, much to the boys disappointment.  I like to spend most of  my grocery money on foods that will nourish our bodies and not leave us hungry thirty minutes later. I've found we need about  a gallon of milk for two mornings worth of cereal.

I always hard boil a dozen eggs to take. Extra protein for a snack or with breakfast.

I try to always have carrots and salad fixings.

Most lunches are either tuna sandwich, BLT, or PB&J's, chips, and fruit.

Dinners, like I said are simple things I can just reheat on the stove.

Taco salad
Chili
Hot dogs
Chicken and rice
Pulled pork


Usually, either Luke or I will make a batch of cookies or pan of coffee cake, something a little sweet  for a treat to have as well.

That's all for now.
