My four year old is not really big into the traditional Super Bowl food. We read the book Buffalo Wings last week and he wasn't interested in my trying to make buffalo chicken wings or jalapeno poppers. He was interested in having a grilled cheese sandwich.
Once he has shared his food ideas with me I set off to create a Super Bowl food meal for him featuring grilled cheese sandwiches and some of his other favorite foods. He has been big into grape tomatoes and grapes lately. He can go through a container of them in just a few days so, I included them in his lunch. (I think my husband has been inhaling them too.) JDaniel also loves chips and snack foods. I don't usually give him them often, but since this is part of a Super Bowl foods lunch and chips are popular Super Bowl snacks I put them in. Finally he got a muffin cup of dip to dip the chips and tomatoes into. The dip is just a mixture of vidalia onion salad dressing and sour cream.
Once I had put his lunch together, I remembered that I had saved a football shaped container from last year in a storage cabinet. It has once held a trail mix and I had put it aside to use for a Super Bowl food related meal this year.
I didn't want to not use it so, I reassembled JDaniel's lunch in the football shaped container. The container was much smaller than the Easy Lunch Box bento I started with. Some of the foods ended up squished together. The silicone muffin cup was smooshed a little too.
The smooshed muffin cup looked a little like a heart when I went to take a picture of the lunch. I guess it makes this version of the lunch an I Love Football themed lunch as much as a Super Bowl Food lunch.
JDaniel didn't seem to care if this Super Bowl food lunch was smooshed or squished. He did seem to think it was delicious. As his mom that is all the matters to me.
What are you serving your children during the Super Bowl?

Yep, I think if the kiddo likes it - nothing else matters :) But I personally love both the set-ups! I wish I was talented (and patient) enough to put together something like this as well.

I love the football sandwiches. I wish I could get more creative with his lunches, I'm starting to feel a little blah, when I just send him to school with the same old thing.
