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!

Contains: Nightshades, dairy, wheat, gluten. Until I was surfing around in Pinterest, I had no idea that this dish is a “thing”. Being as I’m a sucker for stuffing food with other foods, here we go! https://30daysofgreekfood.com/greek-stuffed-eggplant-papoutsakia/ … Continue reading
Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato (BLT) Salad
Contains: Nightshades, egg. Is: Quick and easy, gluten-free, grain-free, potentially Paleo, Whole30 (depending on the bacon). It’s the LAST of the real tomatoes of the season, at least in my region. I picked a couple up at a local farm … Continue reading

Okra, Mushroom, Tomato, Onion, Kashmiri Masala
The inspiration for this dish was Indian — but having come home from surgery earlier that day, I didn’t have the stamina to go whole-barrel on this one. In fact, I’d prepped the okra the day before. Kashmiri paste /masala … Continue reading
Stuffed Squid: with Onion, Mushroom, Spinach – Baked with Tomato Sauce
There’s definitely a surplus of sauce in this upcoming recipe. Not a bad thing, but just take note. I’ve reserved mine, but you can use it at the same meal by serving it over whatever you prefer to consume as … Continue reading
250 Posts – and a NEW Veggie: Callaloo! (Jamaican Style)
I’m now a quarter of the way to having posted 1000 posts at this blog. Was wondering what to do special for it, but …. hey … my farmer’s market obliged by presenting me with yet another new find: Callaloo … Continue reading
Okra, Tomato, Mushroom, Onion… Vegetarian & Indian Savory Style
Because the okra, the paste tomatoes, the mushrooms and that onion were looking at me accusingly, and the okra was reminding me I bought them nine days ago. Because one should be creative when facing one’s fridge, and that veggie doomsday … Continue reading
Seafood Salad: Shrimp, Mussels and Cabbage Slaw
At a potluck, this serves 15 people very well. Also: keep in mind that I don’t tend to measure ingredients in this sort of recipe — everything except the seafood (which came in packages with poundage labeling) is an eyeball … Continue reading
Goats and Reds
Just a brief. Thick Angora goat ribs (Nancy’s farm in VA – Tralfamadore Farm), nestled in a marinate of gluten-free teryaki, vinegar and a few Indian spices, along with the very last farmer’s market tomato of 2010. Ready to place … Continue reading
