Health Kick

healthy lunchI’m on another health kick, folks. My daughters can probably give you a more accurate number of how many of these I’ve been on (let’s just say it’s lots). But I’m committed to this one, as I’m getting older and have to be more conscious of this stuff. This is what my typical lunch looks like. And even though it’s a Saturday, I’m not going to turn it into a cheat. Well, maybe only a little!

Shag It from Beyond the Shore

cafe and gift shop in Newfoundland

Murphy, gentledog that he is, happily gave up his Tuesday blogging post so that I could share some happy news that has been a long time coming – we have opened the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop! Yesterday was quite busy and a bit of a blur, but I’ll upload some pictures soon (and stay tuned for upcoming events and specials!).  We’re really thrilled to be able to offer fresh, healthy and local food and beautiful gift and art items, not only to our guests at the cottages, but to our community and passing visitors as well.

When we say we have an amazing view because we are right on the water, we mean, we have an amazing view because we are RIGHT on the water! Here’s the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop as photographed from our boat, The Awake at Last. Now that we’re open, it’s going to be fun to see this patio filled with (hopefully happy!) customers!Our Whiteway Cottages and Newfoundland cafe and gift shop

Sprout’ing

Since we’re in for a few days of rainy weather, here’s a reminder of how great we’ve had it this season. Just last weekend we were at The Sprout for lunch. It was a gorgeous day and we decided to have healthy, vegetarian food outside with the beautiful weather and the ugly wasps. The ambience overwhelmed the wasps, and we loved every minute of eating outside in late October in St. John’s. Gotta love it!
