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!

Raw Littleneck / Cherrystone Clams – Helpful Hint
I have to thank Dad for this one. I have no idea if he learned this elsewhere, or if he discovered it on his ownsome. This was just something he just DID. Procure your Fresh-in-the-Shell littleneck or cherrystone clams, and … Continue reading
Clear Rhode Island Clam Chowder
Being a proper New Englander (by residence, not by birth), I’m not really a fan of Manhattan clam chowder… I guess in part because the only good tomato-based soup (to my taste buds) is a good chunky chilled gazpacho. I’ll … Continue reading
Paleo Coconut Fried Pork Chops
I wanted to make a different recipe, but with one thing or another (lack of a critical ingredient), this is what happened. I’m fine with this recipe, however. This served just me, but go ahead and double or quadruple. You … Continue reading
Khatta Meat
Made for the March Northern Curry Recipe Challenge, over at Lina’s. I do love these challenges, for the new tastes I get to try. The non-veggie arm of the judging is being performed by Sandhya, of Indfused. The veggie dishes … Continue reading
Brussels Sprouts and Chicken
Up until a few years ago, I despised Brussels sprouts. Mind you, I liked the rest of the Brassica family (cabbage, broccoli, kale, broccolini….), but them sprout things were just nasty. Growing up, we’d eat them boiled, and I don’t … Continue reading

The 500th Post: Looking Back at Many Favorite Recipes
I’ve made 500 posts here (counting this one), through thick and through thin. My diet went from general (but mostly whole foods), through mostly Paleo / Weston-Price, through needing MORE fiber in my life (more legumes and grains/pseudograins), to retirement … Continue reading →
