Every year as my daughter's birthday month approaches the discussions begin about where the party will be, what it's theme will be, and what type of decorations we will have. Now I am a very creative mom and always try to think out side the box and come up with something new but this is even better then what I could have thought up!
Why party with Cheese?
Dairy & Weightloss - 3 a day of dairy as part of a reduced calorie weight loss plan can help adults achieve better weight loss results!
Dairy & Stronger Bones - 3 a day of Dairy is a deliciously easy way to help build stronger bones and healthier bodies!
It's TASTY!
So the next time you are planning a party, looking for a snack, or happen to have a half ton block of cheese sitting around, turn to cheese to make it the best party ever!

Imagine this..... "A Very Dairy Party"
The theme - Cows
The Decorations- Cows and cow spots of course
The Purpose of celebrations - Any event!
The Goal - To provide entertainment and awe while promoting wholesome dairy products!
The centerpiece - A 925 pound sculpture made from cheese! That's right folks, check these sculptures out!
That's right my fellow cheese lovers - A half of ton + of cheese is what the Wisconsin state fair had crafted into an amazing sculpture by "The Cheese Lady" (AKA Sarah Kaufmann). A Wisconsin native and graduate of UW Madison, "The Cheese Lady" travels the country carving these amazing sculptures from Cheese! The 2011 Wisconsin State fair sculpture (top picture) put her in the Guineas Book of world records for the largest cheese carving! She started this record breaking sculpture with a 1000+ block of cheese from a small cheese factory in Kiel, WI called Hennings Cheese. They are the last cheese company that still makes "Mammoth Cheese Wheels" that weigh between 150 and 12,000 pounds! It was no surprise that the record winning sculpture started as one of these mammoth blocks!
Ok - Back to reality of my birthday party planning! It's not too likely that I will be able to have Sarah the Cheese Lady come to my house and carve a giant birthday cake for the special event, but here are some great ideas on how Wisconsin Cheese the life of the party!
For the kids - String cheese and cheese curds are always a hit with kids of all ages. If your in a pinch cube up whatever type of cheese you have in the house in serve in snack size bags, or on a fun platter with small pretzel sticks to serve them!
Football Parties - Serve up your favorite cheeses on a platter, with crackers, or even just a bag of cheese curds! (A bag of cheese curds makes a great last minute dish to pass on your way to the party).
