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!

Chicken Wings Redux Plus Blue Cheese Dip
Well, just so everyone is prepared for an evening of Budweiser and Dorito ads tomorrow (frankly, the Bud ones have gone downhill the last few years – they’re getting cliched), with way too much football breaking the ads up — … Continue reading

Thanksgiving: Braised Turkey Thighs
As noted in the previous post, for Stuffed Delicata Squash, I’m Home Alone this Thanksgiving, on crutches. But, by golly, we’re going to have a Thanksgiving Dinner That Can’t Be Beat, and maybe listen to some Arlo Guthrie on the way. … Continue reading

Brazilian Chicken Hearts on Skewers, Churrasco Style
If you’ve ever been to one of those Brazilian restaurants where the meat is paraded around, fully cooked but attached to swords or skewers, you’ll get the idea. In Brazil, they also do this with chicken hearts, but I’ve not … Continue reading

Chicken Tandoori on the Grill
This is one of those recipes I thought I’d posted a year or so ago – but hadn’t. I’ve made this twice earlier this season, but the first time my grill didn’t get hot enough so I didn’t pursue the write-up … Continue reading

Just Ducky V: Braised Legs and (Optional) Backs, with Plum
This one owes a lot to the Zenbelly Cookbook, by Simone Miller . It’s highly recommended (the book, not necessarily my adaptation of one recipe, although I seriously did enjoy this…). I like her approach to wholesome food and a … Continue reading
