With the Big Game and Valentine’s Day happening only two days apart this year, FreshDirect can help you spread the love. Whether you are cheering on your team with winning brews on Game Day or sharing sweets with your honey, here’s how FreshDirect will help you celebrate this year:

Take a Pizza My Heart 

Pizza is a Game Day classic. To entertain pizza and football lovers of all ages, gather ingredients to make FreshDirect’s Instant Pizza Dough recipe and form the dough in the shape of one giant heart. Or throw a pie from Julianna’s Pizza into your oven, grab some kitchen shears and cut up Boar’s Head sliced pepperoni into individual hearts to easily create fun, festive toppings!

For the Love of the Game

Use baking chips from Guittard to create your very own chocolate-covered strawberries in the shape of little footballs! Use milk chocolate for the base and white chocolate for the laces. Protip: put each chocolate-covered strawberry in its own cupcake wrapper when serving.

Touchdown to Hang 

Running out of drinks before the halftime show is a major party foul – avoid disaster and stock up on variety packs like High Noon’s hard seltzer and large-format drinks to suit everyone’s tastes. No matter which jersey you or your friends are sporting, FreshDirect has the brews that will keep you covered through the fourth quarter and beyond.

Game-Time Weekend Breakfast 

The best way to your football-loving bae’s heart is through their stomach! Use those leftover ingredients from Game Day (such as the cheese and meaty toppings from your pizza) to cook up a delicious Tater Tot waffle with a fried egg on top. Bonus points if you add a football and/or heart design made of ketchup!
