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!

Korean Japchae
We have a great little Japanese/Korean restaurant nearby, and although I’m pretty much a sushi/sashimi buff, I’ve branched out into the Korean side of things there. I find that their entrees are way too large and way too rice-filled for … Continue reading

Fresh Sardines and Salad – A Meal
