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 and on my planned homestead; and anything related.
I'm personally mostly interested in foods made from healthy fats and healthy carbs, low amounts of processed sugars or starches, and I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent have recognized the item as food?) I've a strong interest in vegetables, seafood, eggs, and "ethnic" foods from around the world. Yes, I do make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Currently all my recipes are gluten-free, or readily have that option.
Please leave me comments!

Full Sized Crustless Quiche
Something like a month and a half ago, I’d signed up for a pot luck brunch. I truly love the fun and creativity exhibited at these brunches. I signed up to make a couple quiches. Due to my whilst-dining-at-home gluten-free … Continue reading

Pan Fried Dover Sole (Gluten-Free)
This recipe would probably work for many of the thin white fishes. Unfortunately, ocean perch curls up and makes for a poor presentation, along with not crisping up at all effectively. Dover sole fillets tend to be very tender, and … Continue reading

Grain-Free Ikura Avocado Hand Roll
Not that long ago, I was in the mood for a snack. I didn’t want to wait to cook up the rice (waiting defeats the point of a snack), so I decided, somewhat in the spirit of the Naruto roll … Continue reading
