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!

St Patrick’s Day: Irish Shepherd’s Pie
For many people, shepherd’s pie is comfort food, something they grew up with, which reminds them of home cooking: Mom’s weekly or possibly every other week’s dish. Often it was served with ground beef (here in America, at any rate), … Continue reading
Scalloped Potatoes Au Gratin with Onions and Cabbage
I’ve been wanting to make this for a while – the last time I tried I ended up nearly slicing off a finger tip using the mandoline without the finger guard, and forgot about making the recipe as I’d planned. … Continue reading
The Lowly Spud: Mashed Potatoes
Does anyone really need a recipe for mashed potatoes? Perhaps not, but I thought I’d put in a plug for my favorite home-cooked mashed potato recipe. (I remember my early cooking days when I simply bought a box of Potato … Continue reading

Cedar-Wrapped Grilled Fish, with Grilled Scalloped Potatoes
I just discovered these cedar wraps at my local Whole Wallet, and they sounded like a good idea. You get eight per pack, and a long length of twine. They work like cedar planks on your grilled fish, but … Continue reading →
