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!

Dehydrating Fruit: Strawberries or Grape Tomatoes
I am so not a sweet-tooth! I can’t stand most dehydrated fruits, because by the very act of dehydration, every single flavor gets concentrated. Which in the case of fruit, means sugar. Thankfully, over the years I’ve weaned myself off … Continue reading
Juicing Test, First Attempt. And, Second.
Smoothies can be pretty good, but they are usually laden down with sugar and sometimes with cream. I just wanted to go right out raw, and I don’t mean (at least this time) sashimi. Or cheviche. Here we go, first … Continue reading
Avocado Mango Salad
You can find the recipe for this one here: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Mango-and-Avocado-Salad-336625 I made this one yesterday, because I’d joined a recipe swap on the cooking community named RecipeZaar, in part because it seemed like the social thing to do, but more … Continue reading

Welcome, Spring! Garden Plans for 2018
It is Spring Equinox. It is also the Persian New Year. I thought about doing a Persian recipe, but lacked the time. But on March 18th, I started indoor seeds for later outdoor transplantation. Some of them could have … Continue reading →
