GINATAANG KALABASA AT SITAW

Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw is one of the special recipes I enjoy cooking. This is my go-to recipe to convince my children to eat vegetables. Children love this as the squash is soft and easy to chew and it tastes sweet because of coconut milk. My nephews and nieces like squash mashed together with rice. Now that they are all grown-ups, I always remember them when they were kids every time I cook this recipe.
