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 and on my planned homestead; and anything related.
I'm personally mostly interested in foods made from healthy fats and healthy carbs, low amounts of processed sugars or starches, and I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent have recognized the item as food?) I've a strong interest in vegetables, seafood, eggs, and "ethnic" foods from around the world. Yes, I do make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Currently all my recipes are gluten-free, or readily have that option.
Please leave me comments!

Corn on the Cob. Corn on the Grill.
Corn, or elements derived from corn, seem to be in everything these days. I don’t think I want to go into elaborating on this, but as much as possible I withdraw from commercial corn/corn “products”. That being said, I love … Continue reading
Greek Tzatziki or Persian/Iranian Mast-o-Khiar
I understand the main difference between these two yogurt dishes is that the Iranian version is thicker, and may more often contain mint instead of (or with) the dill. The Greek version often uses strained yogurt, but I decided not … Continue reading

Asparagus Soup, Tom Kha Style
I’ve been dehydrating food lately — a good means of storage and great if you see specials. Plus, making my own chips is enjoyable – zucchini and sweet potatoes make excellent chips. Anyhow, there was a good price on asparagus, … Continue reading
