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!

Vegetarian Greek Moussaka (with Chickpeas, Lentils, and Mushrooms)
Contains: Nightshades, dairy, legumes. Is: Vegetarian, gluten-free, grain-free. Consider this one of the Greek dishes I didn’t get around to making, back in my Greek Month (February 2020). I am still in love with the best of the savory … Continue reading
Sous Vide Lamb Shoulder Chop, with Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms
Contains: Dairy, nightshade spice. Is: Wheat/gluten-free, primal. Made for the June 6th online Culinary Meet-Up. I really wish I could share!!! (And taste everyone else’s food in return!) The concept behind this particular Meet-Up was to focus once again … Continue reading
Greek Lamb Kofta, Grilled

Beef Kidney Paprika over Spinach
Contains: Nightshades, offal, dairy. Is: Gluten-free, grain-free. Okay, my version of “Chopped” without the insane and foolish run around before the 30 minute timer buzzes. Paprika: This was part of a recipe challenge on CookingBites.com. I had to incorporate paprika … Continue reading
Lamb and Winter Squash in Yogurt Marinate
Out in the world of nature, here in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the beginning of the season for lambing and kidding – something I may be doing in future years once I get goats and Shetland sheep established here. … Continue reading
Chicken Wings Redux Plus Blue Cheese Dip
Well, just so everyone is prepared for an evening of Budweiser and Dorito ads tomorrow (frankly, the Bud ones have gone downhill the last few years – they’re getting cliched), with way too much football breaking the ads up — … 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
Chicken Tandoori on the Grill
This is one of those recipes I thought I’d posted a year or so ago – but hadn’t. I’ve made this twice earlier this season, but the first time my grill didn’t get hot enough so I didn’t pursue the write-up … Continue reading
Mango Lassi
I love a good mango lassi, although I try to limit my consumption of this decidedly rich and carb-loaded beverage. But it is indeed high in nutritive value, and hence filling. I am given to understand that the lassi is … Continue reading
