About the Lifestyle.


Hi this is Nancy, my husband Tom and I live on a sailboat in Florida. Living on a boat presents many problems one of them is cooking. Now that I have more time on my hands, I make everything on this tiny boat. After all I like food. I try to use real food, not frozen packaged stuff. Therefore I thought I would share my recipes with you. Yes, I have some flops..........I blame it on the boat rocking. I have simple cheap appliances, mind you I would love the big fancy things but there isn't any room to store them.

We are in a marina, so I have power a true luxury. When you are anchored out of the marina, you have to use other sources, for example a Coleman stove works great, also a barbeque made for boats is wonderful.

The bigger boats have gas stoves and big galleys. We are on a very limited budget so nothing fancy for me. My dream would be to have a bigger kitchen with more counter space. On a boat you have to think.........ONE, there is no storage room for more. I have one bowl, one pot, one frying pan, you get the message. You don't need the best, the food doesn't know the pot was $100.00.

One thing I had found when you are in a small space, things can get messy very quickly. Wash the dishes and put things away as you go, then you will always have space to work.
