The Schell Cafe has been turned upside down with excitement this week. We have three special visitors from Uganda staying with us. Jackson and Christopher are members of the African Children’s Choir and are in town to perform this evening at our church. I’m having a hard time processing the magnitude of the blessings [...]

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam… I couldn’t resist. And, now you’ll be singing Home on the Range all day too. Sorry. One of my New Year’s Hopefuls (I don’t do resolutions) is to buy a side of beef. Is that normal? I would love to have an assortment of cuts of [...]

I’ve had several requests lately to share some of my favorite side dishes, specifically vegetables. I immediately thought of these yummy haricots verts I made last week. I served them with grilled amberjack and it was a perfect combination. Make the roasted shallot & sherry vinaigrette in advance and keep it stashed in the [...]

I love family recipes that have precious memories. My Nana passed away when I was two, so I cherish stories like this that Mia passed along to me. I’ve nibbled on these olive balls all of my life and at some point along the way added the martinis too. I think Nana would be thrilled [...]

Husband is a fisherman. He truly loves to fish. In fact he’s spent the majority of his life either fishing or wishing he was fishing. So I love it when I am able to make him dinner featuring fish that awes him. When we scored the best looking red snapper straight from the gulf coast [...]

So we didn’t buy a pig today at Farmer’s Market. Although there was a feral hog for sale but for some reason I wasn’t creative enough to go out on that limb this cold Saturday morning. After our luck with the Gulf Red Snapper last week, we headed straight to Roberto at San Miguel [...]

How about starting your day with this simple homemade granola?! The Littles sure did enjoy it this morning. We found the recipe in Chef Bobo’s Good Food Cookbook and followed the simple instructions. The Littles love it plain with flavors of maple and vanilla starring front and center. Of course, I’ve already dreamed up several [...]

As you know, I’m quite fond of making pesto. I’ve tried dozens of variations depending on what nuts and herbs I have on hand. Naturally one of my first thoughts to give our Gulf Red Snapper a boost was to whip up a yummy pesto. Boring. And so 2008. When I heard the LA Times [...]
