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.

Pork Carnitas (for a pot-luck crowd)
I love many varieties of “ethnic” foods, and enjoy attempting to re-create some of these in my own kitchen. I’ve focused more on Asian and Mediterranean, and less on south of the (my) border, but I love Mexican, Peruvian and … Continue reading
Pork Chops with Apple & Onion – Simple!
I love good pork chops, and I saw a video where Civilized Caveman made these, and since I didn’t write anything down, this is my own take on what he did. Serves 2 (although in my case I kept eating … Continue reading
Slow Cooked Boneless Pork Picnic Roast
After reading Eating on the Wild Side: a Radical New Way to Select and Prepare Foods to Reclaim the Nutrients and Flavors We’ve Lost, by Jo Robinson, I decided that farmers’ market-purchased Peruvian Purple Passion potatoes aren’t your simple Starch … Continue reading
Stuffed Mini Peppers
