With summer approaching quickly, you’re probably dreaming about all the fun you’ll have gathering with friends and family. Why not spice things up by adding a little island culture to your plans?
Instead of a barbecue, plan a luau. For table decorations, floral sarongs or fishnets would work well. Silk flowers — or fresh, imported Hawaiian flowers — will help to enhance your luau theme. Load Hawaiian music into your sound system to get everyone up and dancing. And, make sure you highlight the luau theme with tasty and healthy Hawaiian dishes like Mango-Maui-Guava Salsa served on low-calorie, low-fat Old London Melba Toast made with all-natural ingredients and whole grains.
