Have you ever been to Hawaii? I lived on Kauai for 2 years but never made it to a Luau, they were way too expensive!! My blogging friends and I have gotten together to create the perfect Backyard Luau Menu to help you plan the perfect luau for your family and friends in your own backyard. No plane tickets required…..

I know, it sounds crazy but $60 per person was way out of my price comfort range as a young family with a small child. I also did not realize that we were going to be moving back to the mainland so soon!! Someday I will go back and go to a real luau…just so I can judge how good their food is compared to mine, LOL Check out the Backyard Luau Menu that we have created, then I will add the rest of my own creations at the bottom. 🙂
