Hawaiian Macaroni Salad

Hawaiian Macaroni Salad! Last month, we celebrated Ben’s glorious birthday dinner! If you are new to our blog, let me explain. Every year at this glorious celebration, Ben requests recipes that we have never had as a family.

It is a tradition that every child gets to decide the menu for their birthday dinner but its usually normal things that we have enjoyed before. To my surprise, we almost always love what he picks! This year, he went with a Hawaiian theme, and let’s just say there were banana leaves involved! 

My Zac cooked the meat for the occasion and I was in charge of the Hawaiian macaroni salad! This recipe is so simple but so good! It doesn’t have to be a side dish to a Hawaiian luau for your family to enjoy!
