It’s official! I’m coming to Austin on our book tour for The Paleo Kitchen! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to book anything on such short notice, but I was lucky enough to chat with the people at CrossFit Central and they are going to host our book signing event there! Dying. I’ve always wanted to go to that gym, but have never made it in in the 2 times I’ve been in Austin. And now I will. I’ll be in nice clothes instead of workout clothes, but I don’t even care. So here is what our book tour looks like in Texas starting this Sunday:
- On Sunday July 13th at 7 PM we will be in Dallas at Half Price Books: 5803 E. Northwest Hwy., Dallas, Texas 75231
- On Monday July 14th at 7 PM we will be in Austin at CrossFit Central – Burnet Road Location: 6205 Burnet Rd. Austin, TX 78757
- On Tuesday, July 15th at 7 PM we will be in Houston at Blue Willow Bookshop: 14532 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX, 77079
Balls. I need to figure out my outfits. Like now. And get my roots done. My lord they are disgusting. I don’t even want to talk about the pedicure I need done. I’m a sh*t storm over here.
I don’t want to brag, but I’m going to. This shake is delicious. I remember when someone was offended when I talked about how good a recipe was. What a douche. Why would I share my sh*tty recipes? It makes absolutely no sense. “Oh hey. This recipe tastes similar to donkey dump. Enjoy!” People these days.
Jackson decided it was a good idea to walk on top of my face while I was half asleep and cut my lip open (I’m exaggerating) with his toenails. Gross, I know. But stick with me. I think he is just trying to tell me that he needs his nails trimmed, but he’s just telling me in his own way. Lucky for him, I’ll ask them to do that when it’s time to cut his baby makers off. Poor kid, I do feel bad about that. And he will sure hate me for about a week after it happens. But man will his toenails look good.
Ok back to the book tour. What are you favorite places to eat in Dallas, Austin, and Houston? I need a list of all of them! I’ve tried a ton of places in Austin with friends, but I’m happy to try more. And I have some friends and family in Dallas that may lead the way. But I need YOUR advice, because it’s probably better than my families. Let’s be real. Leave a comment below with your favorite restaurant! And dessert spot. Obviously.
Oh and one more thing. I made this as my post workout snack the other day and it was AWESOME. Fact of the day. And I drank it with my new favorite glass straws! Check them out here!
Vanilla Cream Mango Milkshake + Texas Book Tour Dates
- Yield: 1-2 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (the hard layer at the top of canned coconut milk after it’s left in the fridge overnight)*
- 1 cup diced frozen mango
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein (if you don’t want to use protein, use about 1 tablespoon of sweetener: honey, maple syrup, coconut nectar, etc.)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend.
- Serve.
- Love.
Notes
*I use canned coconut cream that you find in the store next to the canned coconut milks. If you cannot find coconut cream, simply place a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight and the cream and water will separate. The cream is what you use in this recipe.
I spy a little Jackson man.

Yeah! See you Sunday.
If you need to grab something quick while in Dallas, pick up some treats at:

H&G Sply Co in Dallas!!! Sooo good
Company cafe in dallas also has great breakfast. Gluten free waffles and biscuits and gravy and some bomb scrambles!!!
In Dallas you’ve got to eat the GREAT BBQ at Rudy’s. It’s a chain of gas stations and The. Best. Damn. BBQ. I am drooling thinking about the jalapeño links.
Or if you really want a splurge, eat at Babe’s. Some of the best friend chicken I’ve had and I’m a southern girl. It’s family style so go hungry.
Corner Table in Houston has a pretty good paleo menu. Other favorites are Liberty Kitchen, Max’s Wine Dive, Uchi, Torchy’s Tacos and El Tiempo for fajitas!
Fish Place in Sugar Land!! The best fried catfish I have ever had. Their onion rings and mixed veggies are also to die for. Most of that probably isn’t too paleo except the veggies but it is so freaking good.
Houston Restaurants:
Underbelly
Uchi
Pass and Provisions
Tiny Boxwood’s
Liberty Kitchen
DESSERT:
Petite Sweets
FAT CAT CREAMERY
Red Dessert Dive and Coffee Bar! (And you can stop in at District H Crossfit across the street and make some new friends 🙂 )
That Crossfit place in Austin is pretty much in my hood, so I’ll try to give you nearby places to eat in case you are also staying close by and from your past Austin posts, I know you already know the other good places around town (Picnik definitely, Lick Ice Cream, Uchi for a splurge, etc) . =)
Korea House. It’s a little hard to find, but they have japchae (sweet potato noodles) that I love! Plus, you could also do their Korean bbq, which I’ve heard is the bomb.
Tarka is a “fast food” Indian place by the Walmart on Anderson. It’s a sister restaurant to Clay Pit and has a gluten-free menu.
Not Paleo but delicious: Little Deli. Pizza is my favorite in Austin and they do it by the slice so you can control yourself. 😉 Love their Italian salad, and they make most of their own dressings. Plus, their patio is BYOB.
Vert’s, also on Anderson Lane. Great kebab salad bowl. Really great.
Looking forward to your signing!
The Corner Table in Houston is the paleo spot! They have great paleo enchiladas and pizza. Sammie’s wild game and grill is AMAZING as well, not paleo but they have a variety of game meat that are served on pretzel buns 🙂
the hobbit cafe in houston is pretty damn amazing.
It’s great that you’re coming to Houston! I highly recommend Harvest Organic Grille at 1810 Fountain View Dr. Houston, TX 77057. I’ve been like 4 times and I always get … I think they call it the mixed grill. It’s beef, chicken AND shrimp over peppers, squash, and onions. I think they have some grassfed options too 🙂
