APPETIZERS:

Pineapple Macadamia Dip

Combine:
2 - 8 oz pkg. cream cheese
1/3 cup crushed pineapple
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

I served it with Ritz crackers.

Sweet & Sour Meatballs

to save time, I bought a big bag of meatballs from a warehouse club, and bought sweet and sour sauce from a store. I added a can of crushed pineapples and placed it all in the crock pot.

Prawns with Plum Sauce

I originally was going to use the recipe further down on this site, but because of time constraints, I ended up buying plum sauce at a little Chinese grocery store near my home. Everyone loved it, but I'm pretty sure the recipe on the other request is much tastier.

Fresh Fruit and Dip

dip
1 - 8oz cream cheese
1 jar marshmallow cream

Mix together well. Serve will slices of exotic fruits. I served star fruit, kiwi, strawberries (I keep the hull on so that the dipper can hold onto it when dipping - I slice the berry from the tip down in an egg slicer, going about 3/4 down, and then fanning it out), guava, papaya, mango, pineapple, cantelope, watermelon, honeydew, etc.

MAIN COURSE:

Polynesian Salad with Orange Macadamia Dressing

Salad
2 bags of fresh express or other quick salad blend (I got the mediterranian salad blend)
1 small red onion, julienned
1 can mandarin oranges, drained well
1 cup macadamia nut halves

Toss together and serve with orange-macadamia dressing.

Dressing
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayo
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB grated orange rind
1 TB honey
2 TB finely chopped macadamia nuts

Blend together and serve chilled with salad.

Aloha Chicken

6 chicken breasts
1 - 8 oz can crushed pineapple
1/2 jar orange marmalade
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp soy sauce

Spray 9 x 11 pan with non-stick cooking spray, line pan with chicken. Combine other ingredients, pour over chicken, cover and bake approximately 45 minutes. (Since I did this recipe 6x for a large crowd, I placed mine in an electric roaster overn - I had it on 350 for about 2 1/2 hours.) Serve with rice.

1 small bag miniature marshmallows
1 - 15 oz can crushed pineapple drained well
