Yakisoba Fritatta Skillet Topped With Creme Fraiche and Caviar

I’M THINKING THIS FANCY YAKISOBA FRITTATA SKILLET TOPPED WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR IS GOING TO BE THE ANSWER TO YOUR HOLIDAY BRUNCH CHRISTMAS DREAMS COME TRUE.

I was challenged to work with yakisoba noodles from JSLFoods and turn them into a breakfast dish so I got to thinking – how do we make it satisfying, simple, and SPECIAL for the holidays – without a lot of clean up required.  Did you know I don’t dig doing dishes?

Yakisoba means ‘pan-fried noodles’ and that’s exactly where the dish starts and ends – in the cast iron pan. They add a nice bite to this frittata and simulate what maybe a thinly sliced potato would do with a lot less work – coupled with the cremini mushrooms, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion, and spinach – in this very savory, Chrismas-y looking dish.  The ‘secret sauce’ is using cream cheese whisked with oat milk instead of heavy cream or whole milk to give this...

Toasted Seaweed Sushi Stacks

This is the perfect snack that comes together in no time when you have your rice precooked as part of your #mealprep. Just season it with vinegar and furikake, top it with some fresh avocado, and add a few thin slices of cucumber, microgreens, or radish and an optional dab of wasabi and coconut amino acids to kick up the flavor. They look so gorgeous and appetizing, too, without the cumbersome task of rolling your sushi just right.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated stevia
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup cooked black rice or brown rice
6 large sheets roasted or toasted nori

2 teaspoons prepared wasabi (optional)
Coconut amino acids (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, stevia, and salt. Add the rice, stir gently, and set aside to allow it to fully absorb the vinegar.

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...
