Labor Day weekend is a celebration of "the working man."  It's designated as a holiday to observe Americans' economic and social contributions to our country.

Modern festivities surrounding the Labor Day holiday also recognized it as the end of the summer season and the beginning of the NFL season.  Both of these occasions are worthy of social celebrations and Blue Bunny is here to help deliver the best to your guests.

Captivate your football fanatics' attention with Bomb Pop Spicy Chicken Wing appetizers.  The unique recipe on bluebunny.com uses Bomb Pops as a marinade for the wings.  They're a bit fiery so be sure to have your freezer stocked with cool treats like Jolly Rancher Cool Tubes and Sweet Freedom Ice Cream Bars.

A few simple additions to your menu will cure your guests' "end-of-summer blues."  Help them take pleasure in the summer splendor with a bowl of Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream and seasonal fruit toppings.  The Blue Bunny Fruit Salad recipe is a great way to kiss the summer season goodbye.

We may never know the real origin of the banana split - the history is messier than the dessert itself.  Pennsylvanians argue it was created in 1904 by a pharmacy student in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.  The city had a big celebration for the banana split's 100 year anniversary in 2004.  The people of Ohio, however, believe the banana split originated in Wilmington, Ohio.  They express this belief with the only Banana Split Festival in the entire country.  The opposing sides stand firmly on their claims so the chances of determining the real history are slim.

Even if the two towns never see eye to eye on the history, there is one thing we can all agree on - the banana split is delicious!  We love every ingredient almost as much as we love the cherry on top.

National Banana Split Day is August 25 and we plan on making our own banana splits to celebrate the holiday.  The original banana split has been altered throughout the years.  We think it'd be fun to create a modern version of the recipe and Blue Bunny has the products to help.

The Champ! Banana Split Ice Cream Cones help keep the dishwashing to a minimum and we'll lift a cone to that!

The middle of August can prompt an array of emotions in students.  On the one hand, they're excited for a new start.  But on the other, they're distressed by the return of textbooks and assignment notebooks.  As parents, we battle this same mix of emotions.  We want out personal time back but we don't want our babies to grow another year older.

This transition requires something to ease our mind.  Blue Bunny can help you relax and chill out.  The recipes on bluebunny.com are perfect for the night before the first day of school.  They distract our minds from the early morning ahead.  We suggest you try the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Lollipop or Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Shake recipes.  Their preparation is simple enough for a child's participation.

Do you remember the last time you had quality, face-to-face communication?  In the hustle of today's fast-paced world, it's easier to catch up with friends over Skype than it is to meet for a coffee date.  The recent technological innovations have given people the opportunity to maintain friendships through non-verbal communication.

July is "National Ice Cream Month" and in celebration, we think everyone should take a moment to nourish their relationships with a dessert date.  Put down your cell phone and pick up your spoon!  A cell phone can't feed the stomach and soul.

Blue Bunny Personals Premium Ice Cream helps you focus on what really matters with family or friends, and better yet everyone can pick their favorite flavor!  If your dessert date is more of a dessert get together then a container of Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream is a perfect addition to your sweet conversations.  We think a couple of lawn chairs and a bowl of Bunny Tracks Premium Ice Cream sounds like the perfect date.  But it's up to you to make National Ice Cream Month as delicious and unique as the friendship it feeds.
