Today is National Gluten-Free Day. If you regularly buy GF snacks, this photo will make you laugh or cry or maybe both. One of our kiddos is allergic to wheat. Consequently, we have explored a lot of #glutenfree grocery items over the past 6+ months.

Here are some of our fav brands that carry gluten-free items:
- Schär
- Banza
- Glutino
- Simple Mills
- Daiya Foods
- Katz Gluten Free HK
- Crunchmaster
- Kinnikinnick Foods
- Mary's Gone Crackers

Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodle

Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodles. 🍜

We recently checked out Uncle Zhou Restaurant, the famed Henan Chinese noodle shop which opened in Plano after closing its popular Queens location in New York. Famous for its hand-pulled noodles, this shop was even on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list!

The menu is surprisingly deep, with tasty traditional Chinese appetizers, dumplings & rice dishes at extremely reasonable prices, but we came here for the noodles so we didn’t let ourselves get distracted. To be thorough, we got a beef tendon soup, which was comforting & delicious, but the star of the show is definitely the famous Dial Oil Hand-Drawn Noodles. The noodles are fat & tender, topped with bok choy & garlic and smothered in hot oil. The noodles are chewy & awesome & the flavor is bold & surprisingly not as spicy as it looks. It’s easy to see why it’s so beloved.

We always feel lucky when an established shop decides to come to town & are glad Uncle Zhou made its way to North Texas!

What favorite from another city do you wish would relocate here?

We were impressed to see over 60 tequilas on the drink menu, plus featured house cocktails (like the blood orange guavarita and raspberry hibiscus paloma shown here).

Nosh on tacos, fajitas, other Tex-Mex faves and speciality dishes. Swipe to see our picks! ➡️

🚨Apologies if you’re attempting to diet, carb-overload ahead.

Are you feeling decision fatigue after the crazy holidays? Did ya know at Kenny’s Italian in N. Dallas, you can get two half-entrees instead of having to pick one? I do believe there are a few restrictions, but here’s my usual split-entree.

Oh and, happy #nationalspaghettiday apparently

Did you know January is #nationalhotteamonth? I did not. TBH, I don’t know why we have so many food/drink themed days, weeks, and months. BUT I do love me some tea ☕️, year-round.

Here are some of my favs:
- If Matcha 🍵 is on the menu and I haven’t tried it at least once, that’s my first choice. The one pictured here is either from @ascensioncoffee or @redefinedcoffeehouse
- Chai and Dirty Chai are both an excellent choice, @84pointcoffee + @dunnbroscoffee in Addison both make a good chai
- My go-to tea 🥤 at Starbys is London Fog
- My go-to tea 🫖 at home is @harneyteas - Paris, London Fog, and Vanilla Comoro are in the regular rotation
- Thai Tea🧋is in its own category, and worth a mention!

We’d love to know yours in the comments.
