While it's freezing outside, what about adding a brain freeze to the mix?

National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day is on Saturday, February 4. When you're cooped up in the house all day, nothing is better than a bowl of ice cream. Rose Rock Microcreamery Owner Jason Decker says that's how the tradition started.

"It got started very similarly to what we're experiencing today in Tulsa,” Decker said.

Ice Cream for Breakfast Day started in New York during the 60s when a mom was snowed in with her children. To keep the kids entertained at home, she suggested eating ice cream for breakfast. Her grandchildren spread the idea around the world, and now it’s a celebration at Rose Rock Microcreamery in Green Country.

"It's a way of trying to help break up the winter months with something fun,” Decker said.

It falls on the first Saturday of February. The Broken Arrow location will open a few hours early at 9 a.m. with an exclusive treat. You can treat yourself and kids to a special menu item, a pancake sundae starting out with a pancake, ice cream, and whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Customers can pick out flavors and add their favorite toppings like cherries, caramel, chocolate sauce, or even syrup. There are also vegan options.

“Not often do parents let children have ice cream for breakfast, so it's a nice way for them to celebrate and get involved, but also just have some fun and do something that's uncommon,” Decker said.

It’s a way to mix up the routine and an excuse to add some sweetness to your Saturday.
