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!

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Stir Fry – Gluten-Free and Vegan

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
Paleo Battered Okra, with Coconut Flakes
Usually, I can’t seem to find quality okra in most supermarkets… it is a food for a distinct audience, which doesn’t seem to include my New England environment. But I do find it in East Asian and in Indian groceries, … Continue reading
Vegetarian Ethiopian Black-Eyed Pea Stew
I adapted a dish originally made by the chef Marcus Samuelsson, for Black History Month. (I don’t know if this is a thing elsewhere in the world besides the US.) My changes (in addition to downsizing a bit as 8-10 … Continue reading
