Tasty Professional Development Days
On most Professional Development (PD) days teachers discuss all things education. On my PD days I get to spend them cooking and eating. We also spent time discussing the connection between different core curriculums and foods.

This recipe comes from a friend and this will surprise you that there is no cheese used to make it.

I make this with my grade 7 classes, they always think its going to be so hard and no one ever wants to put the oyster sauce into their batch of rice. The class is surprised how good and easy this is to make. When I'm at home I make this with leftover rice and it is a huge hit!
