Tropical Breakfast

I was given a new cookbook for Christmas.  It is the second one done by the Ivory family in Utah.  You can purchase it at the Make a Wish Foundation.  It has awesome recipes.  This is a really good and delicious breakfast.  I guess they serve it for room service in Hawaii.  Some day I will make it there.
