From Sandy B.L.: I used to use American cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches…now it’s only Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese! So good! (And it’s also great in homemade mac n cheese, mixed with Medium Tillamook Cheddar!)

From Dawn E.: Hey! I stopped by the Tillamook Cheese Factory last weekend and tried the Sticky Bun Ice Cream (per your suggestion). It was AWESOME!!!

From Marian H.: My husband and I are expecting our first child later this year, and I’ve had some massive morning sickness along the way – providentially, the ONLY food that would consistently settle on my tummy was Tillamook Cheddar Cheese! =) The doctor approved (citing “real” cheese as a great source of calcium/protein), and so we ate DOZENS of pounds of cheese (purchased from Costco/our military commissary)! =) Just had to share… sure appreciate you!

From Melanie S.T.: Love the cheese, but your yogurt is out of this world…I have to drive over a half hour to get it at a WinCo, the only place that carries it here.

From Heidi S.: I love Tillamook everything, every morning my husband and I have Tillamook Yogurt for breakfast. It tastes the best and is priced right. The ice cream is delicious - our favorite is Udderly Chocolate. We are just Tillamook fans. We even took some of our vacation time to visit the factory.

Twitter:

From @gregvalentine: I’m not sure people can appreciate what life was like living all those places all those years without Tillamook Cheese. “Living?” Hardly.

From @BelindaOlsen:  I LOVE the Tillamook creamery! Best ice cream. Ever! If I went on vacation to OR I don’t think I’d come home.

From @xtop: @TillamookCheese You are now my favorite anthropomorphic food of all time.

From @brandoniain: Mashed fresh raspberries over buckwheat pancakes with a turkey sausage, bell pepper and @TillamookCheese scramble. Frickin yum!

From @BeachBumChris: Turns out that @TillamookCheese goes nicely after wings and beer. God I love cheese.

The Tillamook Loaf Love Tour made its mark at the Creekside Smokehouse on their wall of fame!

National Cheese Day is one of the most important holidays a Baby Loaf can celebrate, so I was delighted to hear that so many Tillamook fans plan on celebrating as well! As always, thanks for all the Loaf Love!

And thanks for all your sweet thoughts online…

Twitter:

From @TheOnyxPlate: Via @TillamookCheese …. Tomorrow is National Cheese Day!!! But, honestly, do we really need an excuse to eat yummy cheese?

From @Linditacouture: Tillamook Baked Apple Pie Yogurt = amazing

This adorable, Tillamook-loving pup entered our "Tricks for Cheese" contest last fall.

Well, the sun finally decided it was tired of hiding behind the clouds here in Oregon – what a beautiful week we’ve had! Thanks for adding even more sunshine to my life with all of your Loaf-love filled comments and conversations this week. Now go out and enjoy the sun (if it’s still around!).

Love,
Loafy

Facebook (pet-themed comments!):

From Sam G.: The first time I brought Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream out to Iowa, I was eating a bowl when my cat Bandit came into the room with this wide-eyed look and her nose very active. She looked around, determined where it was coming from, and headed straight for the bowl. It was the one time she ever reacted to food that way.

From Kevin K.: My boxer, Kobe Beef – he appears like a genie when you open the door and take out the Tillamook Sharp Cheddar for grating onto a sandwich. I think his favorite thing in life is spilled grated cheese.

From Tim T.: I had and Abyssinian Cat (since passed on to kitty heaven) used to do chin-ups on the bread board for Tillamook Cheese. We called them “chin-ups for cheese.”

From Tina B.: My cat Smoky has what we have dubbed “cheese-dar” and can tell when we are getting out a block, slices or sticks of cheese. If he’s asleep on the other end of the house he’ll wake up and come running, begging for a piece, a morsel, or (jackpot!!) an actual bite! He has taught our 1 year old kitty to do the same.

From Janet H.: My cat, Sonja, goes nuts for Tillamook Cheese. If I’m snacking on some, I have to cut an extra half-slice for her. She knows either the smell or the wrapper sound, and won’t give me any peace if I take the cheese out of the fridge and she doesn’t get hers.

Twitter:

From @louisgray:  Our beagle once ate half a block of Tillamook Cheddar Cheese and buried the rest in the couch.

From @astute_rhett: Enjoyed the greatest ice cream ever this week while on the West Coast, Tillamook Creamery’s Grandma’s Cake Batter. It is an experience!

From @Adryz87: My coworker just bribed me with Tillamook Cheese! #ImTooEasy

From @mmosner: So happy to be indulging in PNW cheeses again. Last night I literally cradled a loaf of Garlic White Cheddar@TillamookCheese. #cheeseplease

From @PnPArtistMary: @TillamookCheese – Thanks for the follow! I’ve never been chased by cheese before; I’m usually the one pursuing the cheese on EVERYTHING!

Fan Heidi G. posted this adorable photo of her "Baby Loaf" on Facebook

How was your Mother’s Day weekend? Do anything fun? This Baby Loaf spent the day with my Mama Loaf. I made her breakfast in bed and then we went for a walk on the beautiful Oregon Coast. It was a perfect day!

Anyhoo, here’s a little snapshot of some of my favorite  conversations with fans this week. As always, thanks for a great week!

Lots of Loaf Love,

Facebook:

From Sharon F.: My fridge is never without Tillamook. I will go without if I don’t have a Tillamook option :) My kids are following my lead now as they set out on their own!

From Renee K.: So I was at my local grocery store yesterday and what do my wondering eyes see? TILLAMOOK CHEESE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Missouri is now a little more bearable with the taste of Oregon!

From Gretel B.: I love the ice cream too! but a loaf of cheddar is a staple.

From Emett S.:  Far as I can tell, Tillamook Butter is the best in the world too. Smoothest melting and best to cook with and of course better tasting than the rest.

From Shane T.: Eating your cheese right now! It has lifted my morning from the drabby existence of butterless toast to a tasty experience comparable to Willy Wonka’s magical land.

Twitter:

From @rozay_23: So I’m eatin a big bowl of Tillamook Banana Split flavored ice cream, w/Cool Whip, & sprinkles! #Winning

From @mel_leilani: Tillamook Marionberry Pie Ice Cream. I am a fan. #nummy

From @EvelynSeven7: I said “mom I’m not gonna eat a sandwich till you buy my Tillamook Cheese!” & today I find some Tilliamook Cheese in my fridge (:

From @beana619: My kids would LIVE on cheese if I let them. String or Tillamook Sharp Cheddar. Those are the only passing cheeses.

From @wendywoowho: Drink fabulous wines. Drink incredible beers. Get up in the Gorge if you can. Eat Tillamook anything. #PDX

Jason, a Loaf Love Tour Brand Ambassador, posted this photo on our Facebook wall of Loaf-loving firefighters in Rialto, CA.

Another week has flown by! Things are calming down around here after the hustle and bustle of National Grilled Cheese Month and the Grilled Cheese Invitational. Now that April is over, does that mean I have to stop eating grilled cheese!? No whey!

Here’s a little recap of some of my favorite conversations I’ve had with fans this week. As always, thanks for making each day a little more fun… and a little more cheesy!

Lots of Loaf Love,

From Charlsie P.: I saw the most darling Tillamook Cheese commercial here in Phoenix last night just after our local news. It was the one with the Baby Loaf and the Baked Potato …. their offspring… Tater Tots. It had me laughing until my side ached…WONDERFUL commercial. You’re commercials are great and so clever.

From Jeffrey J.: When worlds collide. Saw the Baby Loaf Buses AND the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile on the same day last week. A veritable Cheese-Dog day!!

From Rachel G.: Dear Loafy – We were desperately in need of a loaf yesterday and swung by our local Business Costco… no loaves! They tried to convince us to buy whatever other cheese they had instead, but that was a no go! A detour to Smart and Final found our delicious loaf of Sharp Cheddar… so far we’ve had apples and cheddar, grilled cheese sandwiches, tuna salad with cheddar and an omelet with cheddar. We love ya Loafy!! There is NO substitute!

From @AdEase_Rachel: Cheese > chocolate. Especially when it comes to a delicious taco topping. Happy Cinco de Mayo @TillamookCheese #foodlovestillamook

A cute little Baby Loaf! Posted on our Facebook wall by fan Melissa L.

This has been one of the best, most delicious weeks of my life! Last Saturday was the Grilled Cheese Invitational in sunny L.A. I met SO many amazing cheese-lovers, ate tons of grilled cheese, and danced till it hurt. I also ran a fun Twitter contest and gave a year’s supply of cheese away to six different people. As you can imagine, they were whey excited to win!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Don’t forget to enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich during the last few days of National grilled Cheese Month!

Lots of Loaf Love,
