We recently had a family movie night with my mother, sister and her kids. We watched a great family movie called the Dolphin Tale. I highly recommended it to anyone with kids because it's a heartwarming true story of a dolphin named Winter. Of course, dinner was also a big part of the evening. I decided to go back into my own recipe archives here on the blog to get some inspiration. I saw my Aloha Meatloaf and I knew my sister would enjoy it, but meatloaf was too "sit down" for our movie night. I wanted sandwich kinds of food so I decided to alter my Aloha meatloaf into Aloha Burgers. They came together easily and we even pan fried some hotdogs with the Aloha Sauce. It was a great night and with great food and a lot of laughs.
