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!

Onion and Olive Frittata
Contains: Dairy, eggs, nightshades (pimentos). Is: Gluten-free. Makes for a fine brunch. Adapted from Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street, 2017 (September-October, page 10), which in turn comes from Deborah Madison. My changes are in halving the recipe and, well, adding olives. … Continue reading
Breakfast: Greens, Bacon, Egg
Contains: Eggs. Is: Quick and easy. Potentially Paleo (depending on the bacon). For the greens, I used Swiss chard, which I’d obtained form Misfits Market. I also had “second breakfast” of half a small Misfits Market grapefruit. (These seem to … Continue reading

Veggie Breakfast or Brunch Scramble
My goal is to have veggies at every meal; I’m not quite there yet, and I’m not counting the high glycemic index ones such as white potatoes (PS, keeping the skin on does NOT make them healthier, especially with Russets) … Continue reading
Breakfast: Refried Beans and First-Fried Egg
I held a Cinco de Mayo dinner back on May 5th, and we had a great time, and all together too much food. The vegetarian chili was a big hit, and some of it went home with omnivores. I plan … Continue reading
