Kokeb Revisited
So, since announcing this sweet little bug that’s come into our life, our food blog has once again been neglected.
Shepherd’s Pie
I’m almost done writing about November, I swear. I’m a little slow at these things.
We celebrate a lot around here. A birthday or anniversary gets celebrated at least two or three times, and we consider most weekends to be honeymoons. That’s just the way we roll.
My birthday this year was no exception. We went away for the weekend before (also to celebrate our anniversary), and we had some friends over for an appetizer potluck a few weeks later. The actual day of my birthday landed on a Monday and Josh instructed me to come home from work, take a nap, and wait for him to prepare dinner. This man knows how to love me.

Meatloaf That Makes Me Rethink Meatloaf
The last time I ate meatloaf was when I was about 12. I never liked it. Pressed hamburger with ketchup on the side… where’s the bun? The mustard? The pickle?? Save me.
Hodge-Podge Soup
I’ve been addicted to making stock. Once I realized how ridiculously simple it was and how it tasted oh, about a thousand times better than the stuff in the box, I can’t stop. Our freezer is half full of gallon zip-lock bags of frozen chicken stock, lined up like little books on a shelf. Josh has banned me from making any more until I use some of it up. Thank the Lord it’s fall!
When Josh Cooks…
Last night Josh told me to get out of the kitchen and go relax. Oh man, how blessed am I? Even more impressive was our feast he prepared! Roasted game hens with sage & rosemary, garlic mashed potatoes, and roasted broccoli with melted cheddar and homemade cheddar jalapeño croutons. Oh, how I love this man.

Bread Pudding
Beautiful Things for Bread Pudding
Again, Bittman came through when I was wanting to try a new recipe. I’ve never tried my hand at Bread Pudding, and knew this was my year to give it a shot. I was inspired by his recipe, but inevitably tore it all apart and made it my own. It was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Read more…
Kingfish Cafe
Fried Green Tomatoes and Hushpuppies
Josh and I were searching for a restaurant for a fun date. We wanted food that was creative, comforting, not over-priced but not walk-up-to-the-counter-and-order either. We were very particular with our search. Once we stumbled upon The Kingfish Cafe’s website, we knew we’d found our spot. Read more…
Turkish Delight
Tearing It Open To Share The Goodness
Turkish Delight is a little hole-in-the-wall on Pike Place that carries a simple menu. Get there early enough to get a chicken and mushroom börek and you’re in for a treat. Read more…
Beecher’s
The Perfect Food
One of our favorite places to graze when we’re at Pike Place is Beecher’s. Pasta. Cheese. The Market. Really, do you need anything more? Read more…
Bella Luna

During our most recent weekend adventure on Friday Harbor, we decided to try Bella Luna. We were not disappointed. Read more…
