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!

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
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
Of Eggs and Eating and More (Digressions into Salt and Potatoes)
I’ve been reading, or re-reading The Best Food Writing 2008 and 2009, edited by Holly Hughes, selectively going through the essays. Many of them are very well written, and the writings cover the range of high and low brow tastes. … 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 →
