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

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
250 Posts – and a NEW Veggie: Callaloo! (Jamaican Style)
I’m now a quarter of the way to having posted 1000 posts at this blog. Was wondering what to do special for it, but …. hey … my farmer’s market obliged by presenting me with yet another new find: Callaloo … Continue reading
Cucamelon!!
I’ve just discovered a brand new veggie at my farmer’s market! Meet the deceptively lowly cucamelon! (And it’s technically a fruit.) It hails from Mexico and other areas of Central America, and is related to the cucumber (same taxonomic family). … Continue reading
Arrachera Mex-Tex Beef
Think of this as the meat you put into your fajitas, although you can do other things with your preparation. Arracheras are nearly always made from skirt steak, and it is marinated up to three days before grilling, although 24 … Continue reading
