Super Bowl XLV: Patriots vs. Giants Muffin Tin Meal

JDaniel really isn't into football but, I thought it would be fun to have muffin tin lunch with a Super Bowl theme anyway.



Let me start by saying that I don't usually serve JDaniel bread with a fruit chew on it. It was really hard to come up with a way to create the symbol for the Patriots. I must have thought through five different ways to do it but, they seemed even more complicated than the way I ended up with.

Creating the Patriots logo was one of the hardest things I have done to create a muffin tin element. I had to trace the symbol onto cardboard and then trace it onto the fruit chew. The red elements were easy to trace onto a red fruit chew. Placing the cheese under the logo for the face and star were the easiest of all.


I am so thankful that the Giants are in the Super Bowl. Why? They have an easy symbol recreate.  It was so easy to trace their logo onto American cheese.

The rest of the meal is made of ham rolled into a cylinder help in place with toothpicks and football shaped Oreos.


I really thought about trying to try and make the bread into a football shape but, I was afraid it wouldn't be  big enough to hold the symbols if it was cut down.


While this isn't the healthiest of meals, I think it contained enough healthy elements in it.


What would you serve in a Super Bowl lunch?

  16. Wow, that does look complicated - great job! I don't know what I'd serve at a SuperBowl party though - I'd probably die of shock that I was actually AT one... (football's not really my thing. And I live in Australia, where we are SuperBowl-free)

  17. Why don't you serve fruit roll-ups on bread? It's the breakfast of champions. :P Looks great..
    We may be having a Super Bowl Commercial Party. We aren't really invested in either team. LOL

  18. Wow! You did an amazing job. I am a Giants fan, but I have to say your Patriots logo is great. Now you have me thinking that next week's muffin tin will have to be served on Sunday and somehow focus on the Superbowl.
