New Sunflower Shoppe is blooming in Colleyville

The Healthy Approach market at Glade and 121 in Colleyville has been remodeled and is now a Sunflower Shoppe.  The shelves in the gluten-free section are full to bursting with favorites like the Ktoos - the most oreo-like GF cookie I've found - and a huge variety of hard-to-find GF cooking ingredients.  I couldn't stop myself from buying GF ice cream cones, granola bars and ricecrispie treats.  If you haven't been by in a while, check it out!

Cypress Midnight Moon - Naturally Gluten-Free Cheese

OK, you might ask, what cheese isn't gluten free?  Well, there's the whole debate on Blue Cheese, which I hope to get to the bottom of.  The point is, this isn't just any cheese, it's my favorite cheese and it happens to be made from goat's milk - although it doesn't have any unpleasant tanginess - sorry, if I offend the goat-milk-cheese fans. 

In the Gluten Free diet it can be a challenge to find something tasty and not horrible for you.  Goat cheese is reportedly better for you than cow cheese.  No matter the health pros or cons, Cypress Grove's Midnight Moon is a cheese worth checking out.  I also like their cheddar.

You can order it online or buy it locally at Central Market in Fort Worth and Southlake or Market Street in Colleyville.  It might be available elsewhere, but these are places I've found it.

Garlic Jim's coming soon

I called Garlic Jim's a couple of times and couldn't get through, so I drove out there Sunday morning.  It's in a new strip mall and doesn't look open yet.  Unfortunately, there was no sign saying when it is supposed to be open.

Nancy A. Gordon said that Palio's Pizza Cafe in Colleyville will make a Gluten Free Pizza for you if you bring the crust.  

Gordon brings several rice crusts at a time and says Palio's charges her slightly less than they do for a full pizza.  She said she has never had problems with cross contamination.
