Yogurt Tarragon Grilled Chicken

by Kristin 2 Comments

Today's recipe is a perfect example of mistakes made better!  Maybe not so perfect as the one where the guy inadvertently dipped a piece of chocolate into peanut butter and gave us Reese's, but it is a good lesson in kitchen improvisation. And, I'm sharing this one with you because, well, it worked. I was chatting with Sam the Butcher (not his real name, but it brings out the Alice in me to call him that) at Central Market a couple of ...

Love is Kind

by Kristin 2 Comments

We've been blessed to live in the same neighborhood for over a decade.  For the past eleven or so years, I've pounded the pavement in my neighborhood for exercise. I've walked up and down the streets through four pregnancies, negotiated the hills jogging to lose weight, and pushed stroller, after stroller, 'round the block during toddler melt-down hour and to encourage naps. Walking the 'hood is the best way to be a nosy neighbor.  I ...

Overnight Oatmeal

Overnight Oatmeal

  I don't know about you, but breakfast isn't always our most important meal of the day.  Trying to feed four, sleepy Littles breakfast at 6:30 am before they rush out the door to school puts a damper on the whole make-breakfast-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day theory.  I've been thinking a lot about the foods we are eating and how I can do a better job fueling the Littles with nutrient-rich choices to help power them through ...

Shrove Tuesday: A Pancake Feast!

by Kristin 3 Comments

ORIGINALLY POSTED: February 24, 2009 Ahhh...Mardi Gras.  Here you are again.  I knew it was coming when beads started popping up on the store aisles last week and king cakes were positioned front and center at the bakeries.  Needless to say there will be lots of revelry taking place tonight as the world seems to embrace this now secular mini-holiday. We'll be preparing our hearts for the Lenten season tonight with Mardi Gras' lesser ...

Why do I blog?

by Kristin 10 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, two talented gentlemen from church came over to film me talking about my blog for a sermon series called Grace @ Work.  There are four or five videos in the series and each person has a unique testimony of how God has called them to go public with their faith. In my last post, I shared one of these videos with you and I asked what the word evangelism means to you. Today, I'm sharing my story. Four years ago, ...

Grace @ Work

by Kristin 1 Comment

What does the word Evangelism mean to you? This video was produced by our church for an upcoming conference called Grace @ Work.  I just watched it for the first time and it really causes me to stop and think about how others perceive evangelism.  I have to admit as someone who is passionate about Jesus Christ,  I feel a little sucker punched by some of the perceptions.  I know I shouldn't be shocked.  I'm certainly aware that ...

A Valentine for Husband

by Kristin 1 Comment

Shhh... Husband's Valentine's Day gift is a raised bed to plant heirloom tomatoes. Only that's not our garden.  But isn't it gorgeous?! It wouldn't last a week in the hot Texas summer or under the care of my very NON-green thumb. This is what's really happening at The Schell Cafe garden today. I know, it doesn't look like much now, but by summer it'll be brimming with succulent heirloom tomatoes.  Kind of hard to imagine on this ...

Back to Basics

by Kristin 1 Comment

Today, I'm going to share with you how gracious the Lord has been in setting up structure in my life to be disciplined for him. Remember the day I starred as the ass in an Oscar worthy fight with Husband? The fight was miserable, but the result was the beginning of a God directed process for reorganizing our lives. Let's travel back in time to that day, shall we? As soon as Husband and I kissed and made up I went for a walk.  I was ...

Emeril and The Saints

by Kristin 3 Comments

  It's Super Bowl Sunday.  I'm sandwiched between Husband and our soon-to-be ten year old son watching the pre-game commentary.  We are a united house and have our fleur-de-lis, #9 jersey, and NOLA mojo all goin' on. But really, you didn't stop by The Cafe to talk about football, did you? In between the anticipated commercials I'll fill you in on dinner with the Saints-loving, patron chef de New Orleans, Emeril Lagasse. When ...
