This week Noelle and I took on the challenge of capturing the best yum dance Orange County had to offer. If you’re wondering what a yum dance is, it’s the joyous reaction someone incurs when they eat a delicious piece of Tillamook Cheese!

We see hundreds of people every week, most of whom LOVE cheese. So we figured if there was a winning yum dance to be found, we could definitely find it at the Loaf Love Tour sampling kiosk! Megan and Casey took home the crown this week for their yumtastic, baby loaf juggling, dancing routine!

With so many tasty flavors of delicious Tillamook Ice Cream, there’s a flavor for everyone! Does Espresso Mocha describe your peppy personality? Are you warm and lovable like Grandma’s Cake Batter? Maybe you’re classic and sophisticated like French Vanilla. Or do the nutty almonds in Rocky Road describe your kooky side? I want to know, what’s your flavor? Tell me what flavor best describes who you are and why. There’s a creamy, dreamy flavor with your name on it! I just know it!

Beaumont seems to love his Tillamook Ice Cream. Looks like he’s diving into a gallon of Caramel Butter Pecan. Pretty mature taste for a little guy! Watch ’till the end. It’s super cute!

I know a lot of people are crazy about Tillamook Ice Cream, but Benji here takes the term “ice cream lover” to a whole new level. Watch as he demolishes an entire carton of Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream in just 30 minutes!

What an awesome video, Benji! 27,000 views and counting. I know you picked Tillamook Ice Cream for a reason!

Watch this YouTube video and others like it on the Tillamook Cheese YouTube channel under “Favorites.”

Do you dance like Daniel when you find out that mac & cheese is on the menu?

I know I do! If you’re looking for a tasty recipe, check out our Top 10 Mac & Cheese Recipes (made with Tillamook Cheese, of course!).

While we always love to hear about how people enjoy our cheese, we especially like to hear about Monterey Jack. We think it’s the jack of all trades in the kitchen! That’s why we loved this taste test from the Food Manufacturing team (based in cheesy Wisconsin, no less)! Food Manufacturing is a food industry publication that covers new products, and when we let them know about Tillamook Monterey Jack’s fresh formula and extra meltability, they decided to put it to the test!

It’s always fun working with Drew Carney and camera man Steve at KGW NewsChannel 8. I don’t know how Steve keeps up with Drew’s high energy. After this segment, Drew mentioned that his favorite Tillamook Cheese is by far our Pepper Jack. In addition to the tuna noodle casserole he boasts about in this segment, he told me he served asparagus with melted Pepper Jack on top and his kids loved it! I’ll have to give that a try.

Would you eat Tillamook Ice Cream for breakfast? My favorite flavor is Tillamook Sticky Bun… a sticky bun is considered a breakfast food, isn’t it?
