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!

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

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
