2016 was a big milestone birthday for me – I turned 40! I still do not know where all the years of my life have gone, but they certainly went by quickly! For my birthday, we visited Walt Disney World and stayed at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

Even though we would be on vacation for my actual birthday, I wanted to throw a party for my friends and family – it was my 40th Un-Birthday Hawaiian Luau! Before that, I researched tropical recipes and shared my findings with you.

Tropical & Hawaiian Recipes

As with all of my roundups, there are recipes from my blog as well as from lots of fab blogs from around the world.

I have made all of the links to these Hawaiian Recipes open in a new window so that you don’t lose your place on the list.

The list corresponds with the photo above – so that you can get an idea of what the finished dish should look like. Enjoy!

There are recipes for burgers & sandwiches, kebabs & skewers, pork & chicken dishes, fish & seafood, salads, sides & dips, desserts & cakes, and drinks & cocktails.

The tropical Hawaiian recipes I have gathered here will definitely give you lots of options for the party you throw!

I’m sure many of these recipes are not authentically Hawaiian – which is why they’re also named tropical too. All I can say is that these delicious recipes, with their tropical ingredients, will surely add some sunshine to your kitchen – and to your celebrations!

Serving Platters

I love to theme my parties – right down to the dishes that I serve the food. And for a Hawaiian Luau or other tropical themed party, that calls for things like this pretty Hibiscus Platter, this sunset stripes serving tray, or for a bit of fun, this platter in the design of a Hawaiian shirt!
