Party Panache, Last Minute Super Bowl & Valentine Food Ideas
Pinterest is full of football charcuterie boards
and heart shaped food this week
I’ve seen soo many great last minute ideas for these occasions,
I want to share a few
just in case you need some last minute inspirations!
If you want to do a last minute football board
for the Super Bowl game tonight,
I thought this one with a pepperoni football was really cute
and it comes together very quickly
This one is similar, simple cheese, crackers, and pepperoni,
but the arrangement makes it eye-catching and party ready!
Here’s the same idea portrayed with vegetables
and you could serve a bowl of dip on the side
Are Pigs in a Blanket on your menu?
Amp up the presentation by arranging them in a football shape
and adding mustard to look like the lacing
Grab brownies from the bakery, get some canned icing,
and you can create brownie footballs in no time at all!
Cut opposite corners off brownie squares and add a squiggle
of chocolate icing and white icing laces
The Frosted Football Brownies look so cute on a field on green M & Ms
Are you staying home for Valentine’s Day?
There’s still time to make a Valentine charcuterie board
for 2, or for the whole family to enjoy
I love this one from Mary @Home is Where the Boat is,
she used a heart shaped candy box
If you don’t have a heart box,
Cut a heart shape from a piece of sturdy cardboard
and cover it with plastic wrap, foil, or valentine napkins
and use as a base for the ingredients

I love this one with the “meat” roses with rosemary stems
and chocolate “dirt” source
You can make a simple caprese style heart
with mozzarella and tomatoes source
to nibble on with a cocktail before dinner
Cut bread with a heart cookie cutter instead of squares
to make one of my all time favorite apps,
Tomato Canapes with Bacon Chive Aioli
Garnish your plates with tomato hearts
Make a diagonal cut through each tomato
from the middle of one side down across the bottom
Flip one tomato over to form a heart with a second tomato
skewer it together with a toothpick
Top cupcakes with heart picks
Look for them in the grocery or craft store in the baking section,
or make your own by cutting out heart shapes out of paper
and gluing them together with a toothpick in between
Coconut Cupcakes for all occasions
Top your cake with flowers like this Rose Topped Bundt Cake
We’re not having a gathering to watch the game tonight
because it’s on Sunday night,
I wish they would move it to Saturdays!
I have ties to both teams so I’m just hoping for a great game,
I’ll be rooting for both!

Oh my, you make me want to make a grocery run just for a fun food tray!
Thanks Rita, I can’t wait to make a football theme board this fall!
What wonderful ideas! Love all the football shapes with laces made of cheese or mustard. Now I wish I had gotten the pepperoni I was eyeing at the store this past week. But I think I can make do with all the other goodies I brought home for today’s nibbling.
