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!

Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberry Clusters
Contains: Added sugar, potentially dairy (depends on your chocolate). Is: Vegetarian, gluten-free, a dessert, quick and easy. I remembered a friend telling me about melting chocolate over frozen blueberries and making a dessert. So, briefly I surfed hither and … Continue reading
Valentine’s Day: Pear Upside Down Cake with Buttermilk
Contains: Gluten, dairy, sugar. Is: Vegetarian I went surfing to find a good use for leftover buttermilk, that I’d purchased to make a recipe you’ll be seeing in (yes) March. (I also used some for buckwheat pancakes.) I came … Continue reading
Banana Strawberry Cake (this version contains gluten)
Yes, I used regular wheat-based flour in this recipe, a dessert for a crowd here this past Saturday. I will adapt, if possible, down the road, for an oat or buckwheat recipe without gluten, and post the follow-up then. (Assuming … Continue reading
GF Flourless Chocolate Cake
Probably my personal mottos, but: “Life is short. Eat fish and veggies first.” – Anon? “How can you have your meat if you don’t eat your pudding?” – Pink Floyd? I had fourteen of us over at my new, … Continue reading
Valentine’s Day: Enjoying Strawberry Ice Cream with Cocoa Powder and Ground Dried Strawberries.
Both strawberries and chocolate are considered aphrodisiacs. So, what better than to combine them? No, I didn’t make the ice cream, but I got it from a local home-made-quality source — it is hard to make the supermarket strawberry ice … Continue reading
