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!

Summery Caprese Salad with Tuna Carpaccio

Pan Fried Skate Wings and Ramps on a Bed of Salad
I reported on skate wings once before. They are a cartilaginous fish that lay eggs (in a hard case for protection), and there are over 150 species. I have no idea if they are all edible, or any idea what … Continue reading
A Heart’s Salad for Valentine’s Day
Reluctantly, I squelched the notion of making a salad with chicken hearts for the occasion. I mean, I’d be overjoyed to eat such a dish, but others, perhaps not so much… Instead, here’s a great Valentine’s Day salad using shrimp … Continue reading
Dining Out: IKEA, New Haven, CT
Yes, I know, Ikea has meatballs and a bunch of other food items in their cafeteria. I’m very very picky about meatballs, and I’d say none of the other menu reached out and grabbed me, either, but I will say … Continue reading
Welcome, 2016!!! Littleneck Clams, Dipping Sauce, Salad
Resolutions? We don’t need no stinkin’ resolutions! Okay, well I’ve got one that’s food-related. A vegetable with every meal. And I don’t mean onions or home fries, or just that sprinkling of cilantro — I mean something green and/or … Continue reading
Shrimp, Mango and Pluot Salad
At my most recent pot luck, I brought a salad by request — a request I’d been given based on what I’d brought to the same event two years ago. Apparently, it was remembered. Shrimp and Mango Salad. When I was … Continue reading
