Jennifer Iserloh, The Skinny ChefWhen I was a kid, I used to love watching "Fantasy Island" with Ricardo Montalban in his freshly pressed white suit. "Da plane boss, da plane!" Tatoo would holler while women in beautiful layas would stroll down the dock with trays of gorgeous chilled tropical beverages.

Since summer is on the way, I've already started to plan my summer entertaining and I can put a unique spin on your typical barbecue. Throwing a luau can be fun, inexpensive and themed recipes are a great way to encourage friends and family to try new dishes that might become their favorites by the end of summer.
