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.
Please leave me comments!

Eyes of the Forest Deviled Eggs
This one would be great for Halloween, or as in this case, fun to do for a Murder Mystery Dinner, of which I participated in last this past Saturday. Or, you could leave the decorations off, and serve just – … Continue reading

Greek Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmas) with Lamb
I’ve done the lamb variant twice now, and the vegan/vegetarian variant once. I want to work with the vegan Dolmas a time or two more before I post that recipe; I found my venture to be a bit too “soggy”. … 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

Avocado and Guinea Fowl Breakfast Egg Boats
I get my guinea fowl eggs from the Bethel Farmers’ Market, Connecticut. Think of them as small chicken eggs, they really don’t taste any different than chicken eggs at least from this same vendor. They’re just a bit smaller than … Continue reading →
