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!

Soft Corn Tacos with Scallions, Pepper Jack, Avocado, Microgreens
Contains: Dairy. Is: Vegetarian, gluten-free, quick and easy. Well, earlier today I posted an omnivore taco, and now I am making a vegetarian one. Photos here are more step by step (probably because I was less hungry, ya’think???) As always, … Continue reading
Soft Corn Tacos with Ground Bison, Pepper Jack, Ramps, and Microgreens
Contains: Dairy, nightshades (seasoning). Is: Gluten-free, quick and easy. What is rather sad on a small-scale level these days (considering there are a lot of much larger-scale sadnesses going on) is that at taco bars the cheese to sprinkle … Continue reading
Cinco de Mayo: Tex-Mex Style Vegetarian, Grain-Free Stuffed Peppers (feat. Black Beans)
Contains: Legumes, nightshades, dairy. Is: Vegetarian, gluten-free, grain-free. Yes, my stuffing of choice is based around legumes, specifically black beans. Which are my favorite “hard” legume of all. For a bean challenge at CookingBites, I have decided to make … Continue reading
