    National Pick Strawberries Day? Don’t mind if we do. What’s your favorite summertime fruit? (view photo)

    This obscure holiday is probably a hit with whoever is on dish duty at your house. No Dirty Dishes Day? No problem, we say! (view photo)

      What 'obscure holiday'? Armed Forces Day? The day honoring our brave military members? Is that the 'obscure holiday' you're talking about? It's well celebrated at my house!

    • Friends of Elsie at 12:51pm, May 18

      Trisha, we can assure you that Armed Forces Day is not an obscure holiday in our mind. We support and thank the many brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our county. It just so happens that this year “No Dirty Dishes Day” falls on the same date. This is the holiday we were referencing in our post.

    Good luck to all the students preparing for end-of-year tests, projects and papers. We think you’ll do just fine, because you’re sharp – sharp like cheddar.

      hopefully they all ate their borden cheese and pass all their test..

    Regarding baseball, we’d rather get a Single (or two) than a home run. (view photo)

    We love this summer craft idea for when the family returns from vacation! This is about the closest you can get to trapping your memories in a jar.

      Could someone from Borden tell us how to purchase Borden lactose free cheese slices? No stores carry the product any more!

    • Friends of Elsie at 12:47pm, May 16

      Hi Jason - would you send us a direct message with your location, as well as contact information? Once we know where you are, we can start looking into this for you. Thanks!

    Here’s a tip for those of you watching your sodium intake: Look for softer, less-aged cheeses, like Swiss or Monterey Jack. These require less salt than harder, aged types of cheese. (view photo)

    Are your products GMO free?????

    • Friends of Elsie at 3:37pm, May 14

      Hey, Amber - Thanks for your question. Borden cheese is manufactured using the milk of our dairy farmer members and derivatives of that milk, which contain microbial enzymes. If there is a specific product you would like additional information about, please email us at Borden@FriendsOfElsie.com.

      yes, the early bird gets the cheese, but if you do not hurry then the mouse gets it first...

    As far as we’re concerned, Friday night is Pizza Night. Besides Borden Shredded 2% Mozzarella, what are your favorite toppings to pile on your homemade pizza? (view photo)

    With grilling season about to be primetime, we need to settle an important debate: hot dogs or burgers? Go! (view photo)

    The classic combination of cheese and crackers is a winner, yes – but what KIND of cracker? If you’re a particular person when it comes to your cracker pairing, please let us know your preference below.

    • Miguel Orama at 1:23pm, May 8

      For me any kind as long as its borden cheese

    Today is National Teacher Day, and if you really want to get ahead, ditch the apple gig. Bring your favorite teacher a delightful chunk of cheese instead!

    While we don’t believe burger consumption should be limited to just one month out of the year, we would like to bring something important to your attention: May is National Hamburger month. What better way to celebrate then with this delicious recipe from the Sieperda Family? (view photo)

    – If you’re not cooking up some chile con queso today, then you’re doing Cinco de Mayo wrong. Note: Borden Cheddar and Monterey Jack are among the most important ingredients here.

    Did you know that today is Brothers and Sisters Day? Are those some of Elsie’s children – Beulah, Beauregard, and twins Larabee and Labelia – we spy out in that field? (view photo)
