Iced Over

So, as some of my instagram followers may or may not know, I was surprised with the wedding gift to end all wedding gifts: a Cuisinart ice cream maker. And guess what??? It arrived early, and I'm taking it home with me for the weekend. Pinterest has been providing an overwhelming amount of flavor inspiration, and I just can't decide what to make first! (I think I'm going to need to buy a second freezer.) Any suggestions? Anyone want to be my official taste tester? :)

Bein' Cheesy

Through a family member who lives in New Jersey, I heard about this amazing farm that makes their own cheeses. Valley Shepherd Creamery has a great, fairly new location in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, and I was able to take a lovely early spring stroll and stop in to pick up some delicious creamy goodies.
They also had a tasting for Jeni's ice cream- locally handmade in small batches-and it was amazing! Check out jenis.com for locations where you can buy a pint of one of these priceless palate pleasers.
