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!

Young Steamed Octopus
The recipe: Each 0.75 pound octopus serves one person as a main dish. The frozen packages I find in one of my supermarkets contain two each of these. I’m writing the recipe up as per one octopus – scale up accordingly. … Continue reading

Cedar-Wrapped Grilled Fish, with Grilled Scalloped Potatoes
I just discovered these cedar wraps at my local Whole Wallet, and they sounded like a good idea. You get eight per pack, and a long length of twine. They work like cedar planks on your grilled fish, but … Continue reading →
