Gluten-Free in Lizard Lick: 100 Gluten-Free Recipes for Finger-Licking Food for Your Soul Paperback - 2015

Have your cake--and cobbler, fried chicken, and biscuits--and eat 'em too!

I run Lizard Lick Towing with my husband. I'm a champion weight lifter. And I'm gluten-free. I know, you're probably thinking I've lost my dang mind or wondering what the heck gluten is, anyway. I'll tell you what I learned the hard way: I can repo a truck, deadlift 450 pounds, and raise four kids without crashing or collapsing, but a serious gluten allergy hit the brakes on my entire way of life and almost sent me to the junkyard.

I had to lick the gluten before it licked me, but I'm a Southerner through and through, so get between me and my fluffy pancakes, flaky pies, and buttery biscuits, and you got another thing coming. Kiss my grits--that's redneck for "no-can-do!"

So I teamed up with the boss lady of gluten-free cooking, Karen Morgan from Blackbird Bakery in Austin. She showed me the sneaky ingredients to avoid, how to substitute so that even the picky kiddos--or an even bigger baby, my husband, Ronnie--wouldn't be the wiser, and how to buy all those gluten-free products without having to sell my truck.

This cookbook has all the good stuff, none of the bad. Best of all, most dishes can be made with a can opener, a microwave, and less than thirty minutes--because I'd rather spend my time with my crazy family than spend hours at the stove.

I'm not gonna lie: Going gluten-free ain't easy, but there's no reason it can't be delicious. Just because you're a redneck doesn't mean you can't eat well!
