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!

Vegetarian Indian-Inspired Rice; Plus Eggplant (Aubergine), Bitter Melon & Okra Curry
Since there are a lot of meat-related dishes on my docket right now, I wanted to create something vegetarian that I’ve never made before. Meanwhile, I was having a severe hankering for things Indian, and haven’t yet tracked down the … Continue reading
Tabbouleh – or The Sudden Parsley Harvest!
October 17th: the word on the street was a Killing Frost. It happened that night; when I woke on the 18th the thermometer read 28 degrees F. So, among other things that I picked or brought indoors that day was … Continue reading
Dining Out: Claire’s Corner Copia, New Haven, CT
I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant since I first heard about it, in the 90’s. (They opened in September of 1975, when I was still being schooled in Indiana.) This is a restaurant that serves vegetarian and vegan … 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 →
