I am doing a show as a fundraiser for a Relay for Life team. (Not an official fundraiser ... I am making a donation to their team out of my commission, and they are using the free products to make baskets to raffle.)

Their team is the Beach Bums and they usually go with a tropical theme for everything.

What are some good recipe ideas?
 
Aloha Pizza!!

Recipe, please!
 
It is in the new Season's Best and on Consultant's Corner under Season's Best.
 
With...Cran-raspberry fizz to go with it!
 
How about Jerk Chicken Salad!? Make sure to put the pineapple top in the middle for the tropical pizzaz!
 
We just did a Caribbean Banquet at camp Friday night and had Jerk Chicken steak...a Caribbean cooler (coconut milk, pineapple juice, lemonade and raspberry lemonade mixed). Coconut shrimp in a pina colada dip, crab cakes with salsa...(watermelon and peach salsa in the new book might be good), grapefruit and avocado salad and much, much more!You can also add seasoned ribs...Pineapple upside down cake...
 
Do you have the recipes for those, they sound fabulous!
