pineapple | Rosie's Riveting Recipes

This recipe takes me back.

I was in Toastmasters for a number of years. It’s a wonderful organization, and you learn all kinds of interesting things listening to other member’s speeches. One night someone did a recipe demonstration for an easy to prepare pie. The speaker said it tasted like a million bucks, which was why it was called, Million Dollar Pie. Now mind you, I’ve never actually tasted cash, but it certainly is a delicious pineapple cream pie which only takes a few minutes to prepare.
