Happy Memorial Day – Celebrate with Ice Cream & Savings
Happy Memorial Day everyone. The long Memorial Day Weekend is only one day away. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the extra day off and a weekend full of family, friends, parties and good food.
My favorite picnic food is hands down hamburgers and hot dogs. Nothing fancy for me! Guess I am a cheap date! **grin** For dessert, also nothing fancy, I prefer ICE CREAM!! When I’m hosting a party I am always thinking of ways to display my ice cream desserts to make it more fun. I’ve done sundae bars and banana split bars but this year I’m doing something colorful and simple. I’m going to be creating an ice cream table with a Red, White & Blue Ice Cream theme.
I’m going to take pretty bowls or small buckets and fill them with ice (you can probably pick up some themed ones at the dollar store) and then fill them with red white and blue treats such as:
- Red-Fruttare Strawberry Bars and Popsicle Red Classics
- White- MAGNUM White and Fruttare Coconut and Milk.
- Blue- Sky Blue Raspberry Popsicles and NEW Blue Raspberry Disney Frozen Popsicles
- Popsicle Firecracker: All three colors in one pop!
I’m going to pick up extra NEW Blue Raspberry Disney Frozen Popsicles. They are sure to be a hit with the kids this summer. How do you plan to celebrate the “unofficial” start of Summer?

Finally, lets not forget the real meaning of Memorial Day. It is more than just the “unofficial” start of Summer. It is a holiday to honor those we have lost in service to our country. So thank you to all of the military families for your sacrifice. Thanks also to all of our current veterans and active military as well. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
