Real Party: Hawaiian Birthday Feast

My friend Lindsay celebrated her birthday this past weekend.  She was craving Hawaiian foods, so she and her husband recreated some of their favorite dishes straight from the Islands, and invited a bunch of friends over.  

Luckily we had amazing weather this weekend, so the tropical foods worked perfectly! 

What a feast we had! 

Appetizers were fruit skewers and spam musubi, one of Lindsay's favorite treats to get in Hawaii.  I was nervous to try these, but they were pretty good.  Most of them were gobbled up actually!   

Lindsay couldn't believe it, she thought only she and Janelle would eat them! 

And then the main meal: 

Pulled Pork for Sliders...

...with Tropical Cole Slaw  (which was regular Cole Slaw, with some pineapple added - Yum!)

Huli Huli Chicken

Leslie's Chinese Chicken Salad with Toasted Macadamia Nuts

Katie's homemade Pita Chips with Fruit and Avocado Salsa

Traditional Hawaiian-Style Macaroni Salad

And last, but not least: Mango Martinis!
Here's the recipe:
1oz Vodka
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Mango juice
1/2 oz lime juice

Leslie also brought orchids for the ladies hair! Too cute...

Happy Birthday Lindsay!
Thanks for humoring me and letting me make labels! :)

Check back tomorrow to see what I made for dessert!
