Well, we always gotta eat.....

Ok, so life......................rough.  But we all gotta eat.  This recipe is from my mom.  It's one of the family favorites.  Mostly made during the holidays but we had it this weekend so we could reminisce.  We all really enjoyed it as always.  I hope your family enjoys it too! Straighten out those jackets, trust me crazy is on the loose! Oh and FYI I have no earthly idea where this recipe came from.  I am 98% positive mom found it somewhere and has passed it down to us, but not created it.  We lovingly refer to it as Green Stuff.

16 oz crushed pineapple, drained
