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!

Clear Rhode Island Clam Chowder
Being a proper New Englander (by residence, not by birth), I’m not really a fan of Manhattan clam chowder… I guess in part because the only good tomato-based soup (to my taste buds) is a good chunky chilled gazpacho. I’ll … Continue reading
Summery Caprese Salad with Tuna Carpaccio
We’re having a heat wave this week. I don’t have A/C in my new home (yet); I was supposed to get geothermal but it looks like rebates for that (and it’s pricey) have pretty much dried up. So I will … Continue reading
Zoodle Seafood Alfredo
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
Squid Stuffed with Farro and Zucchini(contains gluten)
(I do provide gluten-free alternatives below.) PS, I inadvertently posted something not yet ready for prime time…. So this is today’s post, instead. Apologies! Farro is a type of wheat derived from Emmer wheat, an ancient type of wheat … Continue reading
Pan Fried Skate Wings and Ramps on a Bed of Salad
I reported on skate wings once before. They are a cartilaginous fish that lay eggs (in a hard case for protection), and there are over 150 species. I have no idea if they are all edible, or any idea what … Continue reading
