Of Goats and Greens
A blog for food and cookery and discussions of weird things like nutrition, restaurant excursions, growing food in my own garden, DIY, and farmsteading/homesteading. But, mostly food. Mostly harmless...
I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent somewhere have recognized that item as food?) Otherwise, I'm an omnivore who travels the world (gustatorially). Yes, I also make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Nearly all of my recipes in recent years are gluten-free. And other than coconut, my recent and future recipes are tree-nut free, as I have digestive issues with those. There's a strong Paleo influence here.
I try to post recipes every Friday, with potential supplemental posts on Tuesdays.
Please leave me comments! Interacting with folk drives me forward!

Oatmeal Apple Mini-Muffins

Gluten-Free Muffins with Almond Meal, Squash and Blueberries
Yep, another bake sale. I like baking, I just don’t want to be stuck with all the results (on my hips or elsewhere), so a bake sale is a fun way to let this outlet bear fruit. I’m an occasional … Continue reading
Into Each Life a Little gRain Must Fall
We had a bake sale to benefit a non-profit. I bake (baked goods) about three times a year, but when I do so, I go as scratch as possible. I made multigrain cinnamon muffins. With a few fancy ingredients. And … Continue reading
