Fried rice, but with a tropical twist!

If you’re looking for a meal you can put together quickly, but not have to sacrifice on flavor, this is it.

I love turning to a rice dish like this fairly often because of all the different flavors and textures you can bring together.

The pineapple here brings a sweetness and a brightness that simply cannot be replicated otherwise.

Plus, it has me thinking of much warmer places than here right now!

Hope you enjoy!
