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!

Beef Kidney Recipes (aka Got Kidneys?)

About 3-4 weeks ago, I ran into something named Lion’s Mane mushroom at the Litchfield CT farmer’s market. The taste is supposed to resemble crab meat. YAY WOW, something NEW I’ve never tried before! Sussed isn’t quite the word! I … Continue reading

A two-part recipe: The Alfredo sauce, of which I found a wonderful one on line, with a link to it. And what I did with it on my ownsome to make a good seafood Alfredo in zoodles. Oodles of zoodles??? … Continue reading
Vegetarian Pizza-Like Cheese Melts with Indian or Mexican Influences
Inspired by both Indian and by Mexican thin flatbreads. Okay, these lack tomato (though the recipe can be adapted easily, and although one of my favorite pizza slices at the pizzeria in Litchfield CT is a cheese/shrimp/broccoli one), no tomatoes … Continue reading
