We stored Mayera’s little zippered cloth lunch box until it looked a little worn. But it had a new life as soon as we used it all during the December holiday season when we worked out in the field in East LA and so many of our favorite Mexican restaurants were closed entirely or too far away for us to do a pick-up. The little “lunch box” has net side pocket for fruit and another front pocket for napkins or paper forks and knives although we found the interior to be surprisingly roomy. It is a far cry from doing lunch at a research field job for LAUSD in South Center and the westside for over a year when we lunched solely on protein bars until we looked at the label one day and were appalled.

We love Mareya’s recipes because they are classics with a contemporary twist. The Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai is our new favorite that substitutes Spaghetti Squash that is fun on its own because after it cooks, it can be taken out of the gourd with a fork or knife in strands.

(Gerry Furth-Sides)Mareya Ibrahim, award-winning inventor, nutritionist, and the signature chef and meal plan designer for the bestselling diet book, The Daniel Plan, has written her own cookbook, EAT LIKE YOU GIVE A FORK: The Real dish on Eating to Thrive.
