Grilled Zucchini & Mozzarella Salad with Pesto
We grill a lot of zucchini during the summer cottage season because it’s abundant, inexpensive, and the perfect vegetable addition to any summer meal. It’s also delicious served at room temperature, in a salad like this one, which means you can either cook it in advance (or use leftovers) and…

Kimchi Fried Rice
Fried rice is amazing, and I eat it a lot. You can bend it in almost any direction depending on what you throw in. I like ending up with lots of colour, texture, and flavour variations to keep each bite interesting, and I love topping it with a sunny-side up…
