SuperBowl 45!

I am not a football person. In fact, other than attending one football game (and having no idea what was going on) I have never watched a game start to finish. However, moving to Wisconsin and landing in the heart of Pack Nation, I felt I didn't really have a choice. You are either a Packers fan or an outcast. So...these past few months I have watched more Football on TV than ever in my life. To everyone's amazement the Packers not only had a great season, but won the Championship to make it to the Super Bowl. There were more decorations for the Super Bowl than for Christmas. No, I am not kidding. I even have a picture of someone spray painting "Go Pack Go" in the snow in front of their house. Yup...I live in Packland! After a healthy visit to Lambeau Field to commerorate the game we came home to watch the game in the comfort of our living room. So this is my creation for our little party...


So, I can not take credit for this idea. A friend posted it on facebook. I simply made a few changes. Technically this is gluten free. However, it is not low gi nor would I consider any of the "fans" real food. But, here it is in a nutshell.

Field Grass: Homemade Guacamole
Steelers Zone: Refried Black Beans
Packers Zone: Queso Dip
Lines/Writing: Sour Cream
Players: Vienna Sausages
Helmets: Cheese
Stadium Walls: Carrots
Seat Partiitions: Grapes
Steelers Fans: Blue and Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips
Packers Fans: Green and Yellow Bell Peppers
Other Fans: Cheetos and Fritos

So yeah, lots of fun. Took about an hour total. Abut 40 min of that was cutting veggies and figuring the best way to arrange the carrot walls. Once that is set it goes together pretty quick. A lot of effort for a couple of pictures, but it was good practice for future parties. Hope you enjoyed watching the Packers win the Super Bowl as much as we did!
