Zucchini and yellow squash give this fried rice recipe an extra veggie kick. It also has Canadian bacon instead of the more commonly used ham in fried rice recipes.

I really enjoyed how veggie-filled this recipe is. The Canadian bacon /ham helps make it a little extra hearty so this can be served as a side dish or entree. You can, of course, omit the meat if you wish (but it adds some nice extra flavor).
