Little Baby's Ice Cream


I first heard of Little Baby's Ice Cream when a friend of mine told me about their Earl Grey Sriracha Ice Cream that they had picked up from Green Aisle Grocery and how surprisingly delicious the combo was. No doubt, an ice cream flavor like that will turn a few heads; but it doesn't end their. The Philadelphia based mobile scoop tricycle has been popping up all over the city at trendy venues like Union Transfer and Morgan's Pier. Little Baby's scoops out their super premium "Philadelphia Style' Ice Cream that features a 16% butterfat-content dairy, sourced from Trickling Springs Creamery in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Little Baby's offers other outlandish flavors like Peanut Butter Maple Tarragon, Pizza, and Anchovy. They also offer a variety of dairy-free options for the dairy impaired such as Coconut Tea and a Philadelphia favorite, Goldenbergs Peanut Chews Vanilla Molasses.

Easter Dinner: Black Bass with Fiddlehead Ferns and Meyer Lemon Yogurt Dill Sauce

I was in charge of planning Easter Dinner this year at the Briggs' house. I picked up this Black Sea Bass in Philadelphia and took it home with me to Bucks County. My sister and I foraged the woods surrounding our house for the fiddleheads.

This dish, which was was inspired by local ingredients, was a big hit and relatively easy. Underneath the fish is Traugers (a family farm in my area) sweet potatoes with golden raisins and roasted parsley root and fennel. I decided the bass would pair nicely with a yogurt Meyer lemon dill sauce.
