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!

Basic Small Heritage Turkey
Contains: Dairy (butter). Is: Meant for the holidays. (Or, whenever…) I basically RUINED an (expensive Whole Foods) turkey by brining it some years back, following brining instructions no less. Alas, it was also a heritage turkey. I’ve been wanting a … Continue reading
Cranberry Sauce
Contains: Sugar. Is: Quick and easy. Mom liked making everything to do with the Thanksgiving dinner pretty much from scratch – that green bean casserole wasn’t, and nor was the cranberry – the latter I don’t think was something any … Continue reading

Dad’s Eggplant (Aubergine) Pizzas
Contains: Dairy, nightshades. Is: Gluten-free, vegetarian, paleo, not truly Italian but inspired, and something good we grew up with. You can make this an omnivore dish by adding in some ground beef, or perhaps pepperoni slices. They’re not essential, and … Continue reading
Roast Cornish Game Hen
Contains: No major allergens. Is: Gluten-free, paleo. This dinner came from a home-farmed chicken. This hen weighed 1.25 pounds, dressed. (By being “dressed”, this really means undressed of feathers, feet, and guts.) She wasn’t a full out Cornish Cross, but … Continue reading
Savory Puff Pastry “Cookies”
Contains: wheat, gluten, potential nightshades. Is: Quick and easy, fun. Can be vegetarian if you don’t use bacon grease. I did this one on a spur of the moment inspiration, assuming you can call this an inspiration. But they can … Continue reading
