NYOLEM - Lemony Dinner Party
Welcome to our NYOLEM Dinner
When we told our friends
that Nyolem, which is an anagram, was the theme for our dinner party they were a little confused. We are big
fans of brain teasers here at 4foodlers and the Nyolem theme was perfect to build suspense up for our themed party.
In the invitations we sent out we gave our guest clues to what was behind the unique word of Nyolem. Nyolem being an anagram for the word Lemony. We got inspired by the game of Scrabble to make a word out of random letters. These invitations got our guest inspired for whats to come.

We started our party off with an appetizer that was both light and lemony. When people think of lemons they think off a nice refreshing feel. We tried to model our dinner party after this especially since it was held in the last days of summer. This is a very quick and easy recipe with few ingredients. To make it yourself click here.

To follow up the light appetizer we decided to treat our guest with a warm and filling main course. The Lemony Roasted Chicken Pie was the perfect dish for this occasion. It kept with the nyloem theme and the fennel and lemon make a perfect combination. To get the recipe for this guest pleaser dish click here.

Since our meal was not citrusy enough we decided to go with favorite vegan dessert. The vegan lemon cheesecake was a perfect dessert for this occasion. We tried to please everyone with choosing a vegan dish for dessert but unfortunately this recipe does cashew. If you do have a food allergy click here to get the substitute for cashews.

Scrabble is always a favorite for our guest. One of the players even managed to use the word nyolem in scrabble to win the game.

Unscrambling words
Since nyolem is a word scramble of lemony we decided that unscrambling words would be the perfect game to play to end our night. Our guest loved this competitive challenge.
