“Pine for You”- Pineapple Fried Rice with Gardein Beefless Tips
This weekend I had the pleasure of cooking up this delish dish at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market as part of Vegetarian Times Farmer’s Market Tour! Serving over 250 hungry farmer’s marketers was the perfect way to spend my Sunday morning! I had a blast creating the recipe and using some amazing ingredients from Gardein, Lundberg and Oreganol! I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as the lovely people at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market!
