Luau party food is delicious and easy to put together. Consider some of these Hawaiian party favorites!

• You may not be able to roast a whole pig, but bar-be-que is a great Hawaiian luau party idea! Serve it with buns and coleslaw on the side.
• Tropical fruit will be a great addition to your luau menu! Pineapples, mango, bananas, kiwi, papaya, and oranges are all good choices.
• Macaroni salad is a Hawaiian party favorite. Toss cooked macaroni with a dressing made from grated carrots and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fried rice is an island staple. Toss cooked rice with chicken, seafood, or vegetables and fry in soy sauce and sesame oil to recreate this taste of the tropics.
• Huli-Huli chicken is a Hawaiian mainstay. It is first roasted, and then tossed in a sauce made from brown cane sugar, soy sauce, and ginger.
• Pipikaula is traditional Hawaiian beef jerky. Pile trays high with the treat that folks can grab without missing a beat on the dance floor!

Serve up one of these sweet desserts for your Hawaiian luau birthday party!

• If you've got an abundance of coconut, break shells into three or four pieces to create small "dishes". Serve scoops of ice cream or sherbet directly in the shell for a creative tropical twist on the party favorite.
• Pineapple upside down cake is a tantalizing leap from traditional birthday cake for a luau! One easy version is to mix melted butter with brown sugar for a gravy-like consistency. Spread over the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan until coated, then arrange pineapple rings across the bottom. Plop a cherry into the center of each before carefully pouring prepared yellow cake mix into the pan and baking. For more tropical flavor, add the juice from the pineapples to the yellow cake mix.
• Create a fun tropical cake by coating a yellow cake with white icing and shredded sweetened coconut. Use chocolate icing to write out "Happy Birthday" in blocky bamboo print.

Party Favors
