You may have heard of health coaching— it’s one of the fastest growing professions in the United States, and prestigious medical institutions like the Cleveland and Mayo Clinics include health coaches on their care teams.

Today I want to share a delicious dessert with you that you can bring to holiday parties, enjoy with your friends and family, or simply by yourself for a delightful treat: AIP Tigernut Fruit Crisp. This crisp can stand on its own but of course, it pairs perfectly with some coconut cream or ice cream. 

Fruit compote is a dish commonly prepared by simmering fruit, whole or in pieces, in sugar syrup. It’s delicious paired with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, crepes, waffles, pound cake, granola, nuts, shortbread cookies, etc. It can also be used as the base for a cobbler, tart, or crisp. This recipe includes no added sugar, using only the sweetness of apple cider and fruit, though extra sweetener such as honey or maple syrup can be added if desired.

I love to eat fruits and vegetables and am passionate about cooking food that nourishes the body, mind, and soul.  My journey has taught me some difficult lessons about what it means to truly be healthy. Over the years, what food and cooking mean to me has deepened and matured in complexity.  Food connects me to culture, to community, to mother earth, to politics, to health, to spirituality, and to life. Cooking food has developed deeper meaning to me than just my enjoyment of it.
