Island Creamery - Chincoteague, VA

When in Chincoteague, you MUST have ice cream from Island Creamery!!
 
 
 
 
I had heard good things about the Cake Batter flavor, so a waffle-cone-cake-batter it is!
 
 
 
The one scoop was enough to feed several people
(but I managed to take care of it all myself!) :O)
 
 
There can be quite a line (we were there in August), but trust me, it's definitely worth any wait!!

Sea Star Cafe' - Chincoteague, VA

 
A must-try when you are in Chincoteague, VA!
 
I got the Chunky Chicken Salad Croissant -
Chicken breast with red bell pepper, celery, red onion, roasted garlic, a mix of select spices, romaine lettuce, tomato & a little mayonnaise on a croissant.
 
 
 
There are shaded tables and seating areas if you want to enjoy lunch there, or you can take it out. There are several places in Chincoteague to enjoy a picnic: the beach, Memorial Park, or the pavillion located in Downtown Park, the spot we chose for lunch.

Pico Taqueria - Chincoteague, VA

 
My family and I had lunch at Pico Taqueria last week. I was excited to try this place, as I had read lots of great reviews.
 
 
 
 
I read a little about the owners before going, so it was kindof cool "meeting" the four of them. What an awesome business they have.
 
 
I got the Chincoteague Classic lettuce, pico de gallo, cotja,
creme fraiche with chicken, the Cilantro Rice Pudding topped with fresh mango, and Daily Drink Special Limeade.
 
 
OMG! This lunch was amazing!!
 
 

Mom and Dad got.....
 
 

a beef, a fish, and a veggie taco and Chips and Salsa (which I sampled).


Julie got a chicken taco and The Chicken City
Blackened chicken, corn and black bean salsa, avacado cream, cotja.



I highly recommend Pico Taqueria!
The food, atmosphere, and service is awesome!!
Can't wait to go back..............

Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
 
We had these super easy and super delicious poppers today for our 4th of July cookout.

 
5 jalapeno peppers

Cut peppers lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Fill with cream cheese and wrap in bacon. Put on rack on grill pan and grill until bacon is cooked and slightly crisp. These things are addictive!
