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!

Shrimp Shirataki Asian Pasta Salad with Peanut Sauce: Low Carb

Eggplant (Aubergine) and Lentil Dahl
Contains: Nightshades, legumes. Is: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free. When I first started cooking out on my own, back in the late 70’s, I ended up with about four cookbooks for the first few years. Two of them were standards for … Continue reading
Beef Kidney Paprika over Spinach
