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

Avocado Sweet Potato Toast, Avocado Rice Cake Toast – Gluten-Free
Avocado toast has become a “thing”. When at home, I seldom eat bread or toast, as I don’t need the simple carbs, but I do admit that toast makes a handy base for items such as melty cheese and so … Continue reading
Miso Soup, and (Tuesday Tour Day) South River Miso Company
A good miso soup, not essentially Japanese but it does owe a lot from that cultural cuisine, AND definitely tasty! Back mid-May, our Blue Zones study group took a field trip to the South River Miso Company, where the owners … Continue reading
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Stir Fry – Gluten-Free and Vegan
About 3-4 weeks ago, I ran into something named Lion’s Mane mushroom at the Litchfield CT farmer’s market. The taste is supposed to resemble crab meat. YAY WOW, something NEW I’ve never tried before! Sussed isn’t quite the word! I … Continue reading
Bitter Melon Stir Fry. Visiting the Korean Supermarket, H-Mart. Blue Zones.
I’m currently in a local book discussion group, where monthly for four or five months, we are meeting to discuss the book by Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People. The Blue … Continue reading

Vegetarian Eggplant, Apple and Onion Casserole with Ras al Hanout
Casserole. A word redolent of the ’50s and ’60s with maybe a glimpse into the ’70s. Dated. Casseroles are dated. Just like wood-stained kitchen cabinetry, and appliances that aren’t stainless steel. (As in my kitchen!) Proud to own a “dated” … Continue reading →
