Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

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).
