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!

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes
They’re called sweet potatoes, because they’re already sweet. So, unless I’m planning on a dessert with them (such as a sweet potato pie), I’m not really interested in adding extra sugars. I simply don’t see the point. Besides, I love … Continue reading
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Stir Fry – Gluten-Free and Vegan
About 3-4 weeks ago, I ran into something named Lion’s Mane mushroom at the Litchfield CT farmer’s market. The taste is supposed to resemble crab meat. YAY WOW, something NEW I’ve never tried before! Sussed isn’t quite the word! I … Continue reading
GF Flourless Chocolate Cake
Probably my personal mottos, but: “Life is short. Eat fish and veggies first.” – Anon? “How can you have your meat if you don’t eat your pudding?” – Pink Floyd? I had fourteen of us over at my new, … 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
Oatmeal with Figs in the Rice Cooker
I just ordered this wonderful cookbook for getting the most out of a rice cooker. The Ultimate Rice Cooker, by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann, talks about the two main types of rice cookers (Fuzzy logic and on/off), and provides a LOT … Continue reading
