Cooking need luau recipes for a bday party

[sanapp]

I am throwing a luau for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I would like to have food that both the adults and the children can enjoy. I also need recipes that I can make ahead and either reheat quickly or keep hot in crockpots. In the past years we have had upward of 50 people at her party and it seems to grow every year!! I would love some ideas and recipes that I can start trying over the next month before I need to make them for her party. Thanks ahead for your help!!!

Here are some ideas on things that you can look up the recipes for that are simple to add to your luau.

-Teriyaki chicken
-Teriyaki bbq beef
-Fruit platter-or even cut a pineapple in half, make fruit chunks, and add it into the hallowed out pineapple. You could also do fruit kabobs.
-Sweet bread with guava, pineapple, passion fruit....jelly or jam.
-Sweet potato-Boil purple sweet potatoes, cut, and put them on a platter.
-Kalua pork-aka Kalua Pig-something that is always at a luau.
-Pineapple punch.


Hope your daughter has fun luau.

May I suggest you head on over to the Disney Recipe thread? There are many recipes from 'Ohana and the Luau there.

cut up a pineapple into wedges - then cut up the pineapple - put one chunk of pineapple on a toothpick w/a maraschino cherry & a marshmallow in between - and put back on the pineapple wedge - the pineapple top is the center of the display - it's good for a pick-up treat
