Hawaiian Fried Rice
Day-old rice is recommended when making fried rice. The texture is better and the rice soaks up the flavor well. Combination of pineapple and ham, flavored with a delicious and savory sauce. Sauteed with garlic, onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Serve in a pineapple bowl.

how to make a pineapple boat
- Cut the pineapple in half. Cut in the middle then cut across from top to bottom. You’ll end up with square pieces. Use a spoon to scoop out the pineapple flesh. Scrape the inside of the pineapple until it’s totally clean. Set it aside and use it later when you’re ready to plate your Hawaiian Fried Rice.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do to naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
