If you haven’t been to Hawaii, you are missing out! You have to go, even if you just go for the food. My absolute favorite dishes are Hawaiian Macaroni Salad and Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken. You’re in luck, I have both recipes here:
Ingredients: 3 Cups Macaroni Pasta, 1/4 Cup (grated) Carrots, 1 Cup Mayonnaise, Black Pepper (to taste), Salt (to taste), 1/4 Cup Milk. Simple, right?
Here are the directions you will follow for your delicious Hawaiian Mac Salad:
1. Cook macaroni until tender (8-9 minutes), drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Add the grated carrots, mayonnaise, and milk until well coated. Salt & Pepper to taste. Use more mayonnaise if desired.
3. Chill in refrigerator, when ready to serve you may want to add more mayonnaise.
4. Tip: If you desire, you can add ham, peas, or boiled eggs.
What else can you make with Hawaiian Macaroni Salad? Make some delicious Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken for an awesome picnic. Here is a simple recipe for Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken:
Ingredients: 1 12 ounce jar of Apricot Jam, 1 (8 oz.) bottle Kraft Russian Salad Dressing with Honey Russian Dressing, 1 envelop Onion Soup (Dry – Packaged), Whole Chicken.
Cooking Directions: Put the chicken pieces in a pyrex flat pan. Combine preserves, salad dressing and soup mix. Pour over chicken and bake at 300′F for 2 1/2 hours. Baste occasionally during baking.
Here are some picnic tips:
1. Keep extra condiments from fast-food restaurants and drive-throughs in a drawer in your kitchen, just for use on picnics! It’ll save a lot of room in your cooler or insulated food compartment.
2. Help your thermos keep food cold or hot longer: For hot food, place the thermos in boiling water just long enough to heat it up well, then fill it (carefully – be sure to let it cool down enough to the touch so it won’t burn your skin). For cold contents you could place it in the freezer, or in some ice before packing.
3. Recycle your plastic bags from the grocery store for use as garbage bags on picnics.
