It’s National Ice Cream month and I’m so excited to be heading to Utah where I can find delicious Tillamook Ice Cream again!

The last time I had some was part of my farewell to friends and family in Portland. Good-byes are always sad, but when it ends with a delicious dessert made with Tillamook Ice Cream, there’s enough sweetness to make it all okay. This was exactly the case when I was preparing to leave and head out on my cheese adventures with the Loaf Love Tour.

My friends had planned an elaborate four-course meal that consisted of two of my favorite things: bacon and Tillamook products! You can’t even imagine the delicious dishes that they conjured!  I would list off the menu, but I feel that it would be unfair to you all because it would make you very, very hungry!

I will share one thing off the menu - the dessert. It was Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream topped with crispy bacon and a root beer reduction.  Just as it sounds, it was a little bit of everything; sweet, salty, and creamy. With the evening coming to an end it was what my friends and I needed to remember the night. But I can’t help but think that if “good-bye” is this sweet, imagine how “hello” will be when I head back home!

Good-bye or hello, I think Tillamook Ice Cream is an amazing choice! What’s your favorite way to serve Tillamook Ice Cream?

With Loaf,

The Tillamook Cheese Factory is the only place in the world where you’ll find every single creamy, dreamy, delicious flavor of Tillamook Ice Cream! The 38 Flavor Ice Cream Tour is a multi-scoop mountain of all of our ice cream flavors, complete with a flag on its summit. When someone orders it, our ice cream scoopers serenade them with a special song (listen to our current song in the video above)!

We’ve been singing the same ice cream song for too long, and although we like it, we’re ready for a change. We need your help coming up with new song lyrics for our ice cream counter staff to sing! Does Tillamook Ice Cream inspire you? Then get out some paper and let lyrics flow like hot fudge from your pen!

We’re looking for ice cream lyrics to the tune of one of these songs:
- You Are My Sunshine
- She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain
- Happy and You Know It
- I’m a Little Teapot

If you feel inspired by deliciousness, and you’d like your lyrical legacy to live on at the Cheese Factory, email your ice cream lyrics to us at fans@tillamook.com! We’ll pick a new song for our staff to sing by Friday, August 19.

Enjoy Tillamook Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream at the Tillamook Cheese Factory!

Today is National Cheesecake Day, so obviously that means I’ll be celebrating with cheesecake ice cream! If you’ve read any of my blog posts in the past, you’ll know that I’m a bit of a dessert lover.

Tillamook Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream and Tillamook Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream (both available at the Cheese Factory) are sinful, yet heavenly, combinations of fruit puree ripples in cheesecake ice cream. That’s right, two desserts (ice cream + cheesecake) in one beautiful half gallon of joy!

I recommend eating these particular Tillamook Ice Cream flavors with caution as addiction is likely to occur. On second thought – eat with reckless abandon – there are far worse things to be addicted to! Happy National Cheesecake Day!

Many of us grew up with Tillamook Brown Cow Ice Cream. We remember the show-stopping flurry of chocolate flakes surrounded by both white chocolate and milk chocolate ice cream… Well, you’ll be happy to know that Tillamook Brown Cow Ice Cream is still here, just under a new name: Tillamook Udderly Chocolate Ice Cream! It’s made with the exact same recipe; the only thing that’s different is the name. We voluntarily changed the name in January 2005 because we learned that it was already in use by another company. We figured as long as it tasted the same, what’s the harm in calling it something different?

To commemorate National Ice Cream Day, I’m celebrating with the best ice cream: Tillamook Cookie Dough! No wait, the best ice cream is Tillamook Grandma’s Cake Batter. Wait, no, Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter. Tillamook Vanilla Bean? Gaaaaaaaah! They’re all the best ice cream flavors!

I know I may be a little biased, but I really do believe that Tillamook makes the best ice cream out there, and it is impossible to choose one over the other. So, whatever your favorite Tillamook Ice Cream flavor is, grab it, scoop it, and devour it today on National Ice Cream Day. Have an extra scoop or two… it is a holiday after all!

Today just might be the very best day of the whole year… National Sticky Bun Day! I have a true weakness for these cinnamony-sugary sweets. When I first learned that Tillamook makes a Sticky Bun Ice Cream, I think I shrieked in excitment – cinnamon-flavored ice cream, chunks of real sticky bun dough… eeek! It is honestly my favorite ice cream ever. I can’t help but sneak a few tiny bites every night before I go to bed. But tonight, in honor of National Sticky Bun Day, I’m going to indulge in a big ol’ bowlfull. I think I pretty much have to.
