Spring Training is over, shorts season is here, and I am not 20 years old anymore. Therefore, it’s time to start working out again. I don’t have much of a plan except to do something every day.

Oh, and I made my first batch of coconut chicken chili. Friends, this is good. So good. Serve over rice or quinoa with a sprinkle of cilantro (or basil if you’re a cilantro-hater), peanuts, and a squirt of Sriracha. I promise, you’re…
I’ve been going back through some older recipes from my pre-celiac or “PC days” as Gluten Dude would say and making them over to be gluten-free and dairy-free friendly.
