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.

I recently visited my best friend in Dallas who accommodated all of my paleo/gluten free needs and I have to agree with all of the suggestions people have offered. The sweet potato breakfast hash at Origin is AWESOME and HG Suply Co. is delicious! We also tried their massive dessert… it’s a chocolate KB… I would say at least a 35#… stuffed with gluten free cheesecake, fruit, and coconut milk ice cream. (Also for HG, try and go for their sundown toast… aka they give you a free alcoholic beverage and everyone in the restaurant toasts at sundown.)
I live in Houston right by Blue Willow. Suggestions in the area for all kinds of food:
– Ruggles Green (Gluten free/City Centre)
– Seasons 52 (City Centre)
– Grub Burger Bar (City Centre)
– Harvest Grille (going towards the Galleria area… little bit of a hike)
– Nirvana (Indian right across the street from Blue Willow)
– Pradaria (Brazilian steakhouse/Memorial area)
– Corner Table (this place is good but in the River Oaks area and they also just had a parting of ways with their chef, not sure if the menu is in flux because of that)
– Escalantes (if you want TexMex/Town & Country)
– I also agree with all of the suggestions above… El Tiempo and Max’s. It really just depends on what area you are staying in/will be around, since driving anywhere in Houston can take FOREVER.
If you want a sweet treat then definitely go to SWEET in City Centre. They have gluten free treats, although, I’ve only ever had their regular stuff which is delicious!
Houston has some great food!!!
Mai’s or any of the Jenni’s Noodle Houses were always my go to’s when I lived there. Ruggle’s Green is great and healthy (but REALLY loud), RA is great for sushi, and DEFINITELY do Escalante’s for Mexican. So freaking good. Uchi is great, but hella expensive. If you’re going to go, go at happy hour. And if you’re looking for killer Greek, go to Nikko Nikkos.
Yeah I think the whole idea of having a blog with recipes on it is to post recipes that are good, why people would have a problem with you saying so is beyond stupid. The shake looks awesome! Will totally try it out.
Juli, since you love Almond Milk Lattes: in Houston, you can find almond milk lattes at:
–> Beans Cafe (Eldridge Pkwy)
–> Antidote (Studewood St in the Heights)
–> Black Hole Coffee House (museum district)
Can’t wait to meet you and George!!
DALLAS:
Kozy Kitchen…ask for the bowl of doom. its not on the menu but its amazing
Company Cafe.. great brunch and mimosas
H&G supply co.. just amazing. please go. next door to it is a coffee shop called mud smiths that has kombucha on tap and is awesome
the Unrefined Bakery is a great gluten free/paleo bakery!
oh man i LOVE kozy kitchen. second that recommendation!
YES! All of these are the best!
Corner table in Houston is amazing!! I was so giddy with all of the paleo options including multiple paleo desserts AND they even made me an almond milk latte.
Thanks for including 3 cities in Texas! I hope to see you and Georgie in Houston!
When you are in Dallas, Company Cafe is a must! The one on Lower Greenville is great but the other location backs up to Katy Trail which runs through the heart of Dallas. It’s really a fun place to go! The breakfast/ brunch is fantastic and they have gluten free chicken fried steak with jalapeno gravy. It’s delicious!
Plano (a suburb of Dallas) has an awesome farm to table restaurant called Whiskey Cake! Check it out when you come 🙂
F*ck yes you’re coming to Austin! So excited! and that Crossfit Central is literally like 2 miles from my house. I tried it out when I first moved here about 3 months ago, but they charge $300 a month and you can only go 5 days a week max…so yeah no, had to find another Crossfit. Anyways, I can’t wait to meet you and get my books signed!
So you definitely have to go to Perry’s Steak house in Houston and get the pork chop. This pork chop changed my relationship with pork. It is slowcooked or marinated or something for 2 days and then they bring it to your table and cut it into 3 different cuts. and they have homemade applesauce to dip it in which is something I was unsure about but fell in love. Plus it is big enough to split between two people and they have ballin’ sweet potatoe fries there. I do not know about the desserts because I didn’t realize how big the food portions would be but seriously. You MUST MUST MUST go here. I mean must!
