Love Steamed Rice? Go to Pines!




Pines restaurant on Muir College now offers plain, steamed rice for $0.25 per ounce. You can fill up a big or small bowl (see photo to the right) for whatever portion you would like.
The steamed rice is vegan and a nice side for any meal.

LiveWell Gnocchi:
  • vegetarian
  • made from potatoes, which are a great source of potassium
  • 1 serving contains 350 calories, 17g fat, 4.5g fiber, 10g protein
