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!

Roast Chicken – My Take
My favorite pastured chicken these days comes from Camp’s Road Farm, New Milford, Connecticut. I just got a five pound bird a couple past weekends ago, liver, gizzard and neck included. (Somehow the heart seems to have slipped out, but usually … Continue reading
Mom’s Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Makeover
When I was a kid, one of the dishes I’d pester Mom to make was this one. It served four people back in the day, but of course that was during our teen years… Since a major component of this … Continue reading
On a Wing and a Prayer
Okay, up front here, serious disclaimer and curmudgeon alert (but we will get to the recipe sooner or later): watching grass grow is more interesting and rewarding to me than watching pro sports, especially football or baseball. Basketball at least … Continue reading
