June is one of the biggest months for celebrations. There’s Father’s Day, the first official day of summer, graduation parties, bridal showers, weddings and end-of-the-school-year class parties. Parents may be asked to contribute a treat for a class party or may plan on hosting a celebration at their home for the entire class. Food allergies are a big consideration and here’s where Tofutti products can help. Tofutti products are dairy and lactose free, vegan and vegetarian and yet they are so delicious, they look and taste like the real thing. You will be pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of Tofutti products available at health food stores and major grocery stores across the country. Here are some party ideas.

1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or pitted Bing cherries

Make Your Own Taco Bar
Kids and adults love to create their own tacos using a variety of ingredients placed on the counter top. You would be surprised how many things a kid can pile into one taco shell or wrap! And that’s half the fun of a taco bar. Just before the party, cook 3 lbs. lean ground beef or chicken and leave in a pot on low until serving time. Fill several bowls with toppings like diced tomatoes, onions, salsa, guacamole, slices of and slices of TOFUTTI SOY CHEESE SLICES® (cut in quarters) and a big bowl of SOUR SUPREME®.
Ice Cream Truck Dessert Tub:
Fill a big bowl or clean wash tub half full with ice and place a variety of Toffuti frozen treats (stick down) into the ice and serve immediately. Kids and adults will love TOFUTTI Cuties, Chocolate Fudge Treats, Hooray Bars and Yours Truly Cones. Watch every last one quickly disappear and have everyone begging for seconds! Tofutti Novelties.
