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!

Dining Out: Claire’s Corner Copia, New Haven, CT

Cinco de Mayo: Cilantro/Lime/Avocado Taco Dressing

Teriyaki Tempeh Tacos
Tex-Mex fusion with eastern Asia? BTW, this recipe is vegan, and it turned out top notch, speaking as an omnivore. I am looking forward to making this soon again. Very soon. Tempeh originated in Indonesia, most specifically on the island … 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
