While it’s never pleasant to battle gluten sensitivity or lactose intolerance, you’d be amazed at all of the clever workarounds chefs have pioneered in the past few years. His recent chili night impressed TV personality and football player Michael Strahan. Here’s how the former NFL star pulled it off.
Michael Strahan Shows Off ‘Chili SZN’Concoction
How can I get invited to dinner at Strahan House? In an Instagram photo, Michael Strahan shows off his incredible chili bowl. However, you’d be surprised to find out just what’s missing from Strahan’s dinner. In the photo’s caption, Strahan wrote, “It’s always Chili SZN in the Strahan house!!”
He also shared his experience with how clean his chili was. He said that the cheddar cheese and sour cream he used for his comfort food were completely non-dairy. He also used a gluten free chili mix. But the cornbread is what surprised most. Strahan stated that his choice of classic chili partner was gluten and dairy-free. This means that his cornbread was made without corn or bread.

Strahan seems to be trying to adhere to a completely paleo diet. The athlete has been sharing his meals on Instagram, and we have to say he’s making healthy look so good! Strahan shared his roasted broccoli and BBQ salmon just a few days after chili night.
He also shared his paleo burrito box. He substituted cauliflower for rice. He also made use of his non-dairy cheddar and sour milk once more.
Here’s How To Make Strahan’s Cornbread
For those of us sensitive to gluten and grains—or if you’re just trying to go paleo to loosen that waistband—Strahan’s cornbread seems almost too good to be true. Who doesn’t love the perfect sweet, savory, and deliciously crumbly treat? There are many creative ways you can make your diet work. Here’s the trick for gluten-free, grain-free cornbread.
Almond flour is your best friend for baking paleo-friendly treats. This flour is neither wheat nor grain-free, so it will save you a lot of hassle. If the flour’s texture just doesn’t feel cornbread-y enough, reach for some almond meal instead! From then on, you’re safe to use your classic cornbread ingredients. Although, you’ll want to consider adding some turmeric. This will give you that delicious savory corn taste, and even restore the original yellow glow to your treat.
We can’t wait to see more healthy concoctions from Strahan that we can try out in our kitchen. Who says comfort food can’t be healthy?
