Sauteed Chayote (Sayote Guisado)
When I was still in the Philippines and living with my family, this dish was on our table every week. We truly love all kinds of squashes especially Chayote (called Sayote in the Philippines). It such a well-loved dish that you can find Sayote Guisado in any cafeteria or canteen all over the country during lunch time. I often had this for lunch when I still worked for the Supreme Court. It's almost like a soup that you have on the side, though it really isn't a soup at all but more like a stew. And, you often serve this with rice. It's also pretty cheap to prepare yet quite nutritious, too. You can make this dish with just chayote on its own but you can certainly add other vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli to the mix.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
We have been given some huge zucchinis by some friends from church and I didn't know what to do with them! Then I remembered that one of the ladies in our previous church brought some chocolate zucchini bread and I got to taste it there and couldn't believe it had vegetable in it! It was so moist and really tasty and with no hint at all that there's zucchini in it, just plain good chocolate yummy-ness in each bite. I was hooked!

Peach and Blueberry Financiers
A Financier is a small French Almond Cake traditionally baked in the shape of a gold bar, hence the name. Some say that it is called such because the cake became popular in the financial district of Paris surrounding the Paris stock exchange and was named after its wealthy bankers. Its main ingredient is the almond flour (ground or finely crushed) though it's distinct feature comes from the use of beurre noisette (brown butter).

Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
This
week we relocated to New Haven, Connecticut and left Holland, Michigan, our home
for 10 wonderful years. It was bittersweet. While we are excited to start a new
chapter in our life as a family, it is truly sad to leave behind a place that
was truly our first home after we got married. There were so many memories both
sweet and sad that made our stay in Holland truly memorable. For this post, I
won’t dwell on this so much as I will make another one – pure reflections on
the 10 years we had in Michigan.
