4-H Ice Cream!


Louisiana 4-H is 100 years old! It all began in 1908 in rural Avoyelles Parish where 4-H in our state began with a Corn Club. Today, Louisiana is one of only a few states where 4-H is a co-curricular activity and is present in every parish. For 100 years Louisiana’s youth have been given opportunities to become positive, productive, capable and compassionate citizens in their communities through the largest youth organization in the world known as 4-H.

So in honor of the centennial birthday celebration, Blue Bell ice cream has a special 4-H flavor! How wild is that?!? It is call Centennial Cupcake, and is a cake batter flavored ice cream with bits of yellow cake, chocolate icing and four-leaf clover sprinkles mixed right into the ice cream. And let me just say for the record that it tastes pretty awesome! (Of course, those of us with any sense already know that Blue Bell makes the very yummiest ice cream ... by far!)

For those of you in Louisiana, be sure to buy it when you see it in your stores. A portion of the sales of Blue Bell's Centennial Cupcake flavor will be used to promote 4-H educational programs!

Pureed carrots or sweet potatoes in spaghetti sauce or chili is another healthy trick that works great with my family!
