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.

In today’s video, I show you how to make green onion ginger sauce! This is my favorite flavorful, easy, and nutritious sauce to enjoy on just about everything!

Can holistic nutrition be a healing journey? Today I want to speak to you about imperfection. In this video, I get vulnerable with you about why accepting imperfection has been the most important part of healing my relationship with my diet, my health, and myself.

I’ve been making my Fried Cauli-Rice a lot lately. Everyone agrees it’s a real competitor for regular fried rice. Plus, it’s relatively simple to make, and the vegetables can easily be changed up.
Most of you are probably aware of the nutritional benefits of organ meats by now, but just in case you haven’t heard, organ meats are the ultimate superfood. The liver, kidneys, heart and tongue are a few of the cheaper, yet invaluable options. Because they are the most nutrient dense part of the animal, organ meats offer many health benefits.
Right now, beets are looking bright and sexy and, of course, the more fresh, local, and seasonal your food is, the more nourishing it will be as well.
