Five Little Things

Happy weekend, friends! This week, as I was driving around and running my various mundane errands, I couldn’t help but marvel at the golden light and the rustle of the crunchy leaves. It really is such a beautiful time of year, and going way too fast. I can hardly believe that this weekend is Halloween and that before you know it, the holidays will be upon us! I hope you find some time to pause this weekend.

Here are Five Little Things I loved this week:

1. Ahi Tuna

I revisited an oldie but goodie recipe — my post for Seared Ahi Tuna Tataki was in need of some updated photos, but more than anything, we have been craving fresh, buttery tuna paired with the vibrant dressing! I also love it served as a salad!

2. The Best Way to Fry Garlic

According to Eater, the best way to fry garlic is in the microwave! Have you tried this? The next time I make my ahi tuna, I will have to try it – I love those little slivers of flavor! The infused oil will be amazing, too!

3. Mickey Makes Adobo

Speaking of garlic, I love how Disney shared Mickey’s version of Filipino Adobo for Filipino American History Month! It’s very similar to my family recipe for a classic Filipino Chicken Adobo, with just a few differences in the ratio of soy sauce to vinegar.

4. Two Families Become One

I loved how this father recognized that “you can’t have too many people loving you.”

5. Who’s the best dancer?

I think we all know the answer to this one!

Stay joyful!
