"Wow! This is a terrific variation of a favorite recipe. I found this recipe in Capitol Cookin' "Politically Correct" Recipes from Idaho's Political People and then some. The pineapple is the secret ingredient. This recipe is courtesy of Former Senator Roger and Leslie Madsen. Serving size is estimated."
