Company Cafe Restaurant

In June I took a trip to Dallas, Texas.  I had never been to Texas before, and despite my disappointment of not seeing tons of men in cowboy boots and cowboy hats and going line dancing etc, I was pleasantly surprised by their wonderful assortment of gluten-free restaurants and menus.  Everyone in Dallas knows about gluten-free, I'd even say more then NYC and that is saying A LOT!.  Almost every restaurant I went to had a gluten-free menu, or even better advised that they served gluten-free toast and/or bagels!! (By taste I have a feeling they were Udi's, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Almost positive though).  And the restaurants that didn't have a gluten-free menu, knew exactly what a gluten allergy or Celiac was, in fact, they were able to cater especially to me based on being Celiac, without a problem.  There was only one restaurant I wouldn't go back to, because they just didn't know what they were talking about, but I will not mention it in this post.  I don't even remember the name it was such an after thought.

One of my favorite places for breakfast was Company Cafe, this is a chain in Texas and they are known for gluten-free.  Their menu is divine! And so worth a click!!  Their motto is eat local, natural and fresh. They could even do Chicken Fried Steak in a gluten-free batter, made separately and served with gluten-free toast.  I mean, it was like a southern gluten-free dream.  I didn't even need to worry at this place, they were just so savvy.  Then menu was large, and there was so much to choose from gluten-free, I was literally salivating!  I'm definitely going back!  It was super casual, outdoor seating with picnic benches, and an indoor cute cafe.  Yum!  I only had a bite of the chicken fried steak since I had never had it before I didn't even know what it was.  But it was so delicious!  I'm getting that next time for sure!  Instead I went the healthier route and had the Hippie Scramble with a half of a gluten-free bagel.  I gotta say that was good too!  This menu even offers gluten-free waffles and pancakes!! I mean really!  A gluten-free dream!!  You name it, this spot had it.  You really cannot go wrong with this joint!  I think I could actually eat there for breakfast and lunch for the rest of my life, no joke!  It was THAT good.

So If you are ever in Dallas, go there!! You won't be sorry!  And the couple next to us?  Well they were from NYC too.  So there were plenty of New Yorker's at this Texas spot.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
