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.

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-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

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
