Do you reflect on your childhood and desire to live with simplicity and ease of your past?  We reminisce on the past because our memory allows us to captivate the best moments.  For this reason, we are able to remember and envision the artistic birthday cakes that marked each year's celebration.

We aren't convinced that his celebratory attitude should reside only in your past.  You can and should tast the spendor of your childhood each and every day of your maturing life.  And what better time to celebrate life than on a beautiful summer day?  Treat the taste buds of your present to the bliss of the past.  The convenient Birthday Party Ice Cream Sandwiches and Premium Ice Cream Birthday Party make an individual or group celebration of life simple.  Just like the parties of our past, they don't require planning or preparation, only our participation. 

Why is that kids can't hear you ask them to clean their room but they can hear the sweet music of the ice cream truck from miles away?  It's the anticipation of the sprint to the curb, the process of choosing that day's treat and the resulting burst of flavor.  Many of us associate this experience with one classic treat, the Original Bomb Pop from Blue Bunny!  The Bomb Pop is a frozen icon present at countless family gatherings, from relaxed backyard barbeques to electric Fourth of July parties and more.  Relive all your favorite memories and create new ones by celebrating National Bomb Pop Day on June 24!

Yolu can't go wrong with the Original cherry, lime and blue raspberry, but don't be afraid to try some newer members of the Bomb Pop family.  If you're in the mood for a tart treat, check out the Sour Power Bomb Pop with watermelon, orange and green apple.

Sometimes dads don't get the appreciation they deserve.  It's all too easy in today's fast-paced society to say a quick "thanks" and rush out the door.  Whether it's putting air in car tires, grilling steaks, or fixing the basketball goal three times in one afternoon, life just wouldn't be the same without dad's help.  Take time this Father's Day to recognize all the little things dad does.  Celebrate with the only guaranteed way into a man's heart:  food!

Create a simple but delicious backyard barbecue just for the family.  Dad's sure to love these Blue Bunny Bomb Pop Spicy Chicken Wings!  Combine bread crumbs, hot sauce and melted Blue Bunny Bomb Pops for a creative new take on barbecue sauce.  Another easy option is the Blue Bunny Black Raspberry Marinade.  Created to compliment duck meat, this marinade combines Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Black Raspberry Bars with port wine and fragrant herbs for a sweet, flavorful sauce. 

Don't forget dessert!  Try a Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks Bombe for a treat that's as fun to make as it is to ear.  If dad's a fan of basic desserts, dish up the most popular ice cream flavor Blue Bunny Premium Vanilla Ice Cream and set out a variety of toppings for an extra dose of family fun!

Desserts like the Black Cow bring back memories of simpler times - of neighbors gathered at picnic tables and families spending Saturday afternoons in the backyard.  You can recapture those moments by celebrating National Black Cow Day on June 10.  Take this opportunity to turn off the television and bring the family together to create Black Cows for everyone! 

A Black Cow is a simple dessert with endless variations but the basic recipe stays the same.  Also known as a float, the most common Black Cow involves two scoops of vanilla ice cream, such as Blue Bunny's Premium Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, covered with your choice of cola or root beer in a frozen glass.  Personalize your treat with everything from chocolate syrup to whipped cream and maraschino cherries.  For a completely new take on this old favorite, try a refreshing and easy to make Blue Bunny's Sparkling Peach Float.  It features ripe peaches, raspberry syrup, Blue Bunny's Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and sparkling apple juice to create a flavor reminiscent of an island beach.

Nothing says summer like relaxing in a chair in the warm sunshine with a magazine and a refreshing frozen treat.  And just in case you need more of an excuse, June 4 is Frozen Yogurt Day!  Frozen yogurt entered the dessert scene in the 1970s.  At first consumers thought it tasted too tart and too much like regular yogurt, but after a few modifications frozen yogurt developed into a crowd pleaser.

Frozen yogurt comes in a variety of delicious forms, so be sure to sample several of them.  Blue Bunny's new line of All Natural Frozen Yogurt is a great place to start!  Flavors range from Caramel Pecan Praline Crunch to Double Raspberry.  Blue Bunny's Fat Free Frozen Yogurt flavors are a great way to treat yourself guilt-free.  Or if you like to add a little granola to your frozen yogurt, try Blue Bunny Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars in either Raspberry Vanilla or Double Strawberry.  The crunchy granola crumbles and vanilla flavored coating add a touch of variety to these decadent bars that are perfect for moms on the go! 

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of a cherry dessert is usually cherry pie.  Cherry pie is so widely appreciated that it makes appearances in everything from nursery rhymes to popular music.  But pie is far from the only sweet treat that features cherries.  In fact, cherries go with just about any dessert!  You can make cherry cheesecake, cherry bombs, cake with cherries, cherry cobbler, cherry cripsy and the famous cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, just to name a few.

In honor of all these cheery cherry options, we suggest celebrating National Cherry Dessert Day on May 26!

Blue Bunny can help you plan for the day with its luscious cherry ice cream treats such as Premium Ice Cream Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate.  If you'd rather cook, www.bluebunny.com offers tons of cherry dessert recipes that are easy as pie!  Check out the Blue Bunny Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate Nut Cookies, the Blue Bunny Black Forest Fool, or the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Cobbler Cake made with cake mix, Blue Bunny Premium Vanilla Ice Cream and cherry pie filling.

Did you ever pick strawberries as a child?  Do you remember searching for the perfect, bright red, juicy ripe strawberry?  If this is a tradition you enjoyed when you were young, or if it's one you'd like to start, mark May 20 on your calendar.  It's Pick Strawberries Day! 

The trick to picking great strawberries is finding the ones that already look ready to eat.  Strawberries don't continue to ripen after you pick them, unlike some other fruits.  You shouldn't have to pull them off the plant if  they're ready.  Twist the stem gently just above the strawberry and it should fall right into your basket!  Picking strawberries offers a great opportunity to spend time outdoors with the whole family and create lasting memories for your children.  After filling your baskets, take some lemonade and ice cream outside to continue enjoying the sunshine.

Blue Bunny offers plenty of options that stick with the day's strawberry theme.  For example, you could scoop up some Blue Bunny Premium Double Strawberry Ice Cream or Blue Bunny All Natural Strawberry Banana Frozen Yogurt.  Or you could experience the convenience of ice cream already in a cone with Champ! Strawberry Shortcake Ice cream Cones.  Whatever flavor you choose, ice cream offers the perfect end to a fun-filled day in the garden.

On May 5, 1862, the Mexican army overcame its disadvantages in both size and equipment to beat its French invaders in the city of Puebla.  It was the French army's first loss in nearly 50 years.  In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has morphed into a celebration of Mexican culture in general.  In fact, the holiday is more widely celebrated in the U.S. than in Mexico!

It's hard not to get excited with all the bright colors, flowing skirts, sombreros, dancing and mariachi bands.  Get the kids involved by turning dinner into a homemade Cinco de Mayo party.  Find some fun Mexican music to play and start things off with the ever popluar chips and salsa.  If you're really in the mood to party, pick up a pinata!  They're easy to stuff and make a great family spectator sport.

No party is complete without dessert!  Crispy cereal replaces the fried tortilla in this easy recipe for Blue Bunny No-Fry Fried Ice Cream.  With a little more time you can whip up a flavor-filled Blue Bunny Chocolate Chipotle Brownie Bowl.  The homemade brownie bowl is flavored with chipotle peppers, cinnamon, walnuts and chocolate chips, then filled with Blue Bunny Premium Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream for a cool finish.

Although we can't make all make the perfect pie crust from scratch, most of us love pie.  With their flaky crusts and warm, gooey fillings, what's not to love?  Rumor has it people have been enjoying pie since the days of ancient Rome, but fruit pies evolved in the last few hundred years.  Celebrate one of the most popular fruit pies with National Blueberry Pie Day on April 28!
