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!

Grilled Venison Steak; Grilled Beef Ribeye Steak. (Keep Simple)
It’s grilling season! (At least in North America.) I purchased my current grill in 2011; it is charcoal and looks like a Weber, but came from some other company, and will be ditched into the trash (or, better yet, … Continue reading
A Rub with Skirt Steak, Tomatoes and Mushrooms
… and garlic. The rub actually is very simple and basic, and would probably go well with flank steak or other steaks of that ilk. (Flat iron, hangar, flap…) Not everything needs to be complicated. For the rub: 1 heaping … Continue reading
Test Driving: Eye of Round Roast
I am in a grass-fed meat share right now, which means one gets beef cuts one would not normally buy. (I tend to be partial to the flank, skirt and flat iron steaks — rib eye if I felt that … Continue reading
All Heart (and Swiss Chard)
Skillet Sauteed Beef Heart: One of my favorite cuts of beef, lamb, goat or venison is heart. A warning, though, the beef heart is LARGE. Prepare to serve a lot of people, or to freeze extras (preferably for salads, re-cooking … Continue reading
