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!

Raw Littleneck / Cherrystone Clams – Helpful Hint

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes
They’re called sweet potatoes, because they’re already sweet. So, unless I’m planning on a dessert with them (such as a sweet potato pie), I’m not really interested in adding extra sugars. I simply don’t see the point. Besides, I love … Continue reading

Vegetarian Eggplant, Apple and Onion Casserole with Ras al Hanout
Casserole. A word redolent of the ’50s and ’60s with maybe a glimpse into the ’70s. Dated. Casseroles are dated. Just like wood-stained kitchen cabinetry, and appliances that aren’t stainless steel. (As in my kitchen!) Proud to own a “dated” … Continue reading →
