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!

Wild Raspberry Season
For breakfast: Raspberries, ad libitum. Simple recipe: Go out into the back yard, where wild raspberries have taken over segments, and look for brilliantly-red fruits. Pluck and eat. If you don’t bring them into the house, you don’t have to … Continue reading
Yard Forager
Raspberries have just started to appear in these parts, namely in my back yard. These luscious little bursts of flavor are just perhaps nature’s Sweet-Tarts, only so much better. A couple years after taking up residence on this acre, volunteer … Continue reading
Cilantro and Strawberries
Leaving the house for work earlier this week, as I passed by the the elevated rock garden, I happened to catch a whiff of cilantro. Immediately I pulled my lunch out of the case, snipped off a few bits of … Continue reading

Bobcat Surprise. And My “The Meal” Photo and Basic Recipe (Salad)
For our first trick, we’re going to roast a bobcat… No, only kidding. This is the feller that strayed into my side yard yesterday. The photos are less than stellar, but he (she?) wasn’t going to stand still for it. … Continue reading →
