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 and on my planned homestead; and anything related.
I'm personally mostly interested in foods made from healthy fats and healthy carbs, low amounts of processed sugars or starches, and I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent have recognized the item as food?) I've a strong interest in vegetables, seafood, eggs, and "ethnic" foods from around the world. Yes, I do make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Currently all my recipes are gluten-free, or readily have that option.
Please leave me comments!

Skillet Mac and Cheese with Veggies
For many in America, mac & cheese is “comfort food”. We didn’t grow up with it as such, which is why I usually put the word “comfort” into quotes. One man’s comfort is another’s discomfort… When we did have it, it was … Continue reading

Okra, Mushroom, Tomato, Onion, Kashmiri Masala
The inspiration for this dish was Indian — but having come home from surgery earlier that day, I didn’t have the stamina to go whole-barrel on this one. In fact, I’d prepped the okra the day before. Kashmiri paste /masala … Continue reading

Korean Beef Bulgogi BBQ
I figured doing this as a stand-alone recipe will put me in good stead when I post the challenge recipe, coming later this week. More on that, later. This week, however. For now, though, I will be making Beef Bulgogi, … Continue reading

On October 29th, I broke my tibia down by my ankle. On November 6th, the bone was set, and a plate (nothing worth dining off of) and some pins were inserted. At the moment, even though I can cook to … Continue reading

Eggs Sunny Side Up with Sauteed Mushrooms
I’ve modified my egg-frying technique slightly — I love my fried eggs either sunny side up or over easy, with the yolks liquid and the whites thoroughly cooked. Occasionally I’ve come into duck eggs, whose yolks are huge — and … Continue reading
