On a rainy day, long ago (it seems), we received a package delivered to our doorstep. We were very excited to see what was in this box. We all needed something to bring a smile to our faces. Inside this package was a bright orange Baby Loaf and in it was a cheese slicer, a heart-shaped sandwich cutter and a handful of coupons for free cheese.
You may be wondering, Why cheese? But, we were thinking, Yay! Cheese! And one of our favorites, to boot – Tillamook!
I know… it seems strange that we would get so excited about cheese, but we love cheese around here.
Look at that cheesy grin!

What is your favorite kind of cheese? How do you like to eat it?
Ray likes any cheese that is a bit “sweaty”. I like it either really cold or melted, and Tillamook Sharp Cheddar has always been my absolute favorite (free or not). And the kids? Well, they just like cheese.
You know what I would be thrilled to be able to do someday? I’d really like to make it the Tillamook Cheese Factory on the Oregon coast. Maybe. Someday.
Why Tillamook?
Tillamook Cheese is a 101 year old farmer-owned dairy company in Oregon that makes a variety of cheeses including the flagship, award-winning Medium Cheddar – made from the same recipe for more than a century. Tillamook Medium Cheddar is naturally aged and made using only the highest-quality milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones so you can be confident it’s safe and healthy for your family.

the cows and factory isn’t too far from my house. We love our Tillamook!
We LOVE cheese!!! Yum! I just put some in my omelette and on my toast this morning. Couldn’t put it on the berries though. =p I can just eat handfuls of cheese on its own.

Mmm, Tillamook! You will NOT regret going to the factory! When you do make sure they aren’t out of “squeaky cheese”, it’s the cheese curds. So good! But they don’t keep so just eat them all up!
True story, my husband’s cousins live in Tillamook and one of them even worked there, but he’d never been to the factory until we went on our honeymoon!
