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!

Basic Small Heritage Turkey Recipe

Roast Cornish Game Hen

What to Do with Your Quail Eggs?
Contains: Eggs and so forth. Is: Many of the ideas are vegetarian. Or all can be made vegetarian. I got ideas from the “recipe” for making soft boiled eggs, but already had some of my own: https://www.pantsdownapronson.com/soft-boiled-quail-eggs/. Upon my first … Continue reading
