The Superbowl was well over 6 weeks ago and I've been a food coma ever since. As you all know my team the Colts made it this year, so this was no normal superbowl party. (yes, I know we lost...moving on.) My friend Cindy and I did some major planning. Before I share the menu, let me clarify that Cindy is a recently graduated Food Wizard (aka: pastry chef). So most of the amazing things listed below are due to her magic and everything was made from scratch.
Menu:
Pulled pork sandwiches w/ homemade brioche Colts buns (see photo below)
Nachos and Queso dip
Buffalo wing dip
Blue doughnuts (see photo below)
Football Oreo truffles
Blue Macaroons w/ chocolate filling (see photo below)
White Macaroons w/ peanut butter filling (see photo below)
Blue and White Macaroons w/ vanilla filling (see photo below)
Peanut butter popcorn (see photo below)
Blue Kool-Aid w/ Blue vodka (yuck) (see photo below)
Cindy and I made the truffles the night before, and I have to say that dipping things in chocolate is very relaxing. Piping football laces however, is not. The pulled pork was cooked overnight in root beer, evidentially the carbonation breaks down the meat faster. Who knew? Cindy hates dyeing food blue because it doesn't occur in nature. "There is no blue food!" I agree with her, but because she loves her boyfriend soooo much she promised that she would make blue doughnuts if the Colts made it to the Superbowl. FYI: blue food dyed dough smells like fish and turns brown when fried. Eww. The men folk ate it anyways.
