Cool Ideas For Warm-Weather Meals

Posted 9/21/2011

Carne Asada Sweet and Spicy Sandwiches are popular at parties, lunches and after school.

(NAPSI)—To add a subtle touch of sweetness to your next get-together, consider treating your guests to tasty Hawaiian bread.

The family-owned company best known for its line of Original Recipe Hawaiian Sweet Bread, King’s Hawaiian wants to help party hosts add some “Aloha Spirit” to their party menus.

Slightly sweeter than ordinary bread, Hawaiian bread and rolls can serve as a terrific side to many meals and the main ingredient in recipes, such as:

• Filling King’s Hawaiian Rolls with egg salad—they’re easy to hold while mingling with your guests.

• Serving up your favorite dip in a hollowed out King’s Hawaiian Round Bread—the leftover bread makes for great dipping.

• Adding deli meat to King’s Hawaiian Snacker Mini Sub Rolls—it’s a quick way to amp up any sandwich.

You can also serve “Carne Asada Sweet and Spicy Sandwiches,” which feature thinly sliced marinated and grilled skirt steak on King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Buns, topped with guacamole and salsa.
