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!

Paleo Battered Okra, with Coconut Flakes
Usually, I can’t seem to find quality okra in most supermarkets… it is a food for a distinct audience, which doesn’t seem to include my New England environment. But I do find it in East Asian and in Indian groceries, … Continue reading

For Mardi Gras (February 13, 2018). So many seasonal times up-and-coming! And my computer being on the fritz hasn’t helped much… yesterday’s Valentine’s salad was supposed to be posted this past Tuesday, and today’s Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) post … Continue reading
Okra, Mushroom, Tomato, Onion, Kashmiri Masala

Okra, Mediterranean Style
Okay, I LOVE okra. I got a pound of it at my farmer’ market ten days ago, and another pound this past weekend. This stuff is FRESH! It will last a lot better and longer than the okra I see … Continue reading
Okra, Tomato, Mushroom, Onion… Vegetarian & Indian Savory Style
Because the okra, the paste tomatoes, the mushrooms and that onion were looking at me accusingly, and the okra was reminding me I bought them nine days ago. Because one should be creative when facing one’s fridge, and that veggie doomsday … Continue reading
Chicken Hearts and Palm / Chicken Gizzards, Tomato, Mushroom and Okra
