Last weekend we had Baby Lam’s shower at our house. It was absolute perfection!
Eight of my friends and family helped host and I was just overwhelmed by the time, effort and love that went into the shower.
Our inspiration for the nursery has been Joshua 1:9, “Have I
not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with
you wherever you go”.
I think this translates into maps, adventure and travel! So we used the same theme for the shower for our “Little Traveler”. Of course the food had a global theme and each dish had a corresponding country and flag.

Everything was delicious and looked fantastic on the serving
table.
While my incredible hostesses did all of the work for the shower
I did contribute my new favorite appetizer, Chinese Sweet and Sour Dip. I have been making this for a few months and
it is always a hit.
Disclaimer, I totally realize that there is nothing even
remotely authentic about this. It is
just darn tasty.
The base is cream cheese (always a good start) and it is
topped with a combo of peanuts, veggies, cilantro, crunchy water chestnuts and
soy sauce. Then the whole thing is
drizzled with sweet and sour sauce and served with crackers.
I don’t know why but this stuff is truly addictive.
If you are looking for an easy appetizer to serve before the big Thanksgiving meal, here you go! I know it is on our menu! It is easily doubled if you have a large crowd. We are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year and can’t wait to celebrate with our family in our new home.
Happy Thanksgiving!
