Royal Thai Curry Chicken Pie

Happy first day of winter!

I can't believe we're here already.  It's the first day of the winter solstice and Christmas is right around the corner.  Even though I live in Southern California, it can get cold at night and there's nothing that I love more than a nice curry.  Hence, my inspiration for this gorgeous comfort dish using the easy and delicious meals from Kevin’s Natural Foods for the #kevinsrecipechallenge. 

SO… here’s my take twist on two ultimate comfort dishes - chicken pot pie meets shepherd’s pie – made healthy for your fit lifestyle

And I'm calling it Chef Mareya’s Royal Thai Curry Chicken Pie.

I love taking traditional recipes and turning them on their head, but keeping them gluten-free, dairy-free and super delish. So I replaced the crust with a blanket of this gorgeous-colored purple sweet potato mash and an edging of crispy eggplant to look like a ‘pie’.  I always pick purple...

How to get your kids to love veggies

Ask most kids what their favorite food is and 10 times out of 10, it’s not going to be a vegetable. Somewhere between baby food and most children’s menus, when our little ones start making the transition to solid food, things go sideways.
They begin with fruit and veggies – peas, carrots, spinach, green beans and veggie blends yet, somehow, from that point until they reach children’s menu age, the color fades from the plate like a person about to faint.  From a palette of red, orange, green, purple and blue, we introduce white to brown food and somehow forgot all the gorgeous colors we once had. Hot dogs, pizza, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fried this or that begin to take over because they begin to exercise their will. Ever see a child have a meltdown over having to eat broccoli?  I’ve been there and I can tell you, it’s not pretty.  Many parents give up because it’s just too much work to try and encourage the healthier...
