Anna’s Guacamole

The night I found out I was preggo with Little numero dos, I ate an entire avocado. Maybe two.  It was a chilly December evening out at our friend’s ranch and for supper they served a gorgeous salad of avocados and tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar.  I seriously ate every slice of avocado on the platter. So it should come…

Roasted chickpeas with a KICK!

I love roasted chickpeas.  Also called Garbanzo Beans, these petite peas are packed with protein and fiber and the crunch is irresistible.  Sometimes I toss them in salads or use as a garnish for other vegetable dishes.  Mostly, I just keep ’em hanging out in a bowl on the counter for hungry Littles to grab and go as they zoom…

Quinoa Snack Bars

Husband’s garden is beginning to show glimpses of the seeds he’s planted.  It won’t be long until our backyard bears the fruit of his labor and our CSA begins delivering bushels of freshly, hand picked…

Strawberry Smoothie

We are big fans of smoothies at The Schell Cafe.  Smoothies are a quick and tasty way to get a good dose of fruit, protein, and vitamins into the Littles’ diet.  Going gluten and dairy free doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our smoothies! Here’s a remake of our favorite standby.  Guess what?!?!  It scored a unanimous four thumbs up!…

Gluten & Dairy No More? Oh my!

What is the first thing I fed the Littles for breakfast the morning after confirming two of the four have intolerances to gluten and dairy? Yogurt. And, the best granola in the world. Yes, I understand what intolerance to gluten and dairy means.  But, before you go alerting the authorities that I jacked the Littles up on the newly verboten,…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
