Superbowl Pigs-in-a-Blanket Redux & Other Noshes

First off, congratulations to our hometown team, the New York Giants! 

We had a lovely selection of Superbowl fare despite the fact that we are still not fully operational after our move. 

A few examples of our starting finger foods line-up include:

  • organic, nitrate-free grass-fed beef hotdogs sliced to mini size and baked in puff pastry with a trio of dipping sauces (Berlin’s famous curry-wurst sauce, German mustard and my cousin Darlene’s free-range turkey chili with black beans)
  • Russet potato skins stuffed with organic sour cream, bacon pieces, a little extra sharp parmesan cheese and scallions
  • a fruit and raw veggie platter
  • cruelty-free mini buffalo chicken meatballs and blue cheese dipping sauce (recipe courtesy of my friend Kristie’s local newspaper — here and here)

Problem is, we ate the food faster than we could think to photograph it, and I realized it when there was just 1 mini-dog left.  Oops.

As my dear friend Nathan said on his Facebook status update, “Giants:  Thank you for the unbelievably exciting win tonight.  Patriots:  Thanks for a fantastic fight. You’re amazing competitors.”  

That sums up Superbowl XLVI very nicely!
