Today on DelmarvaLife:

Exercise Physiologist Caroline Farrell with Peninsula Regional Medical Center stops by the DelmarvaLife studio to tell us about women’s heart health and we test Sean’s BMI numbers and learn about a few exercises to improve those numbers.

Sean visits the Island Creamery in Chincoteague, Va., and talks to Owner Kelly Conklin about how the business got started. The Island Creamery serves 32 flavors of homemade ice cream – everything from sweet potato pie to locally inspired “Wallops Rocket Fuel.” Kelly says no matter the flavor, they try to use as much locally grown produce and homemade products as possible.

Sean teaches Jimmy and Lisa how to make one of his favorite summer recipes – Tomato Cucumber Salad.
