If you’ve been following along, you know that after the Red and Blue event at the new Buffalo Bills stadium a few weeks ago, we had one more stop to make before heading home… 🍝🍷🏈

@mulberryristorante!

I’ve shared this spot before, but there’s a reason we keep coming back.

What I love about Mulberry is that it feels like a true Buffalo neighbourhood restaurant. It’s tucked into a residential neighbourhood where the real estate is fiercely contested, and people will happily wait for a table because they know what’s waiting for them inside.

There’s a real hometown feel here.

The food is classic Italian comfort food, served family-style, the atmosphere is warm and lively, and yes… those giant meatballs are still legendary. 😂🍝

And I love that they celebrate their community. That includes Buffalo, the neighbourhood, the people who live here—and, of course, the Bills.

After an evening celebrating the Bills, it felt like the perfect place to end the night.

One of the things I love about living in Fort Erie is having Buffalo right across the river. We can come over for an event, meet friends for dinner, discover a new restaurant or return to an old favourite—and then head home.

It’s not a mini-vacation.

It’s just part of the lifestyle.

And that’s something I never take for granted.

Have you been to Mulberry? And if you have, what’s your go-to order?

– Barbara 💫

Alex and I are loving our new e-bikes. 🚲💙

There’s something about being able to hop on a bike and just go.

In this video, we took our new e-bikes down to the boat club and then continued on to visit Alex’s parents.

One of my favourite places to ride, walk, or explore by boat is Point Abino. There’s just something about being out here—the scenery, the lake, the quiet roads and the feeling that you’re getting away without actually going very far.

So today, instead of showing you the destination, I thought I’d show you a little bit of the view from the bike.

Come along for the ride. 🚲🌊☀️

There’s something about the first cocktails that start to feel a little more like fall. 🍐🍸

This week’s Thirsty Thursday was inspired by a friend’s pear tree and a basket of pears that weren’t quite ripe yet—but they got me thinking about those warm, cozy fall flavours.

So I made a Pear Martini.

Vodka, St-Germain, pear juice, fresh lemon and just a little simple syrup, shaken over ice and finished with a slice of Bosc pear.

And a little warning from me: go easy on the simple syrup! The pear juice and St-Germain already bring plenty of sweetness. I’m very glad I didn’t add the full amount. 😂

I love cocktails that make you feel like the seasons are changing, and this one definitely feels like a little preview of what’s ahead.

And yes… those tiny glasses meant we ended up with a couple of martinis. Not exactly a bad thing on a Thursday. 😉

Cheers to the beginning of fall cocktail season! 🍐🍸

Looking back at this video from a few weeks ago—and the excitement still hasn’t worn off. 🏈💙❤️

I know I’m a bit late to the table with this and so much has already been posted, but I couldn’t skip sharing my first inside look at the new Buffalo Bills stadium during the Red and Blue game. Seeing the sheer scale of the new venue and watching the players walk right past was an absolute highlight as fans.

Living right across the water in Fort Erie, heading over for Buffalo events is such a massive part of our lifestyle. Being just minutes away from moments like this is a local perk I’ll never take for granted.

Getting a sneak peek at the team’s new home has us more than ready for a winning season and many years of excitement to come. Go Bills! 🦬✨

The food is incredible, but it’s really the whole experience around it that I loved.

We ate at some of the island favourites, including The Sister Ship and CRU, and had everything from beautiful patio dinners to drinks at the bar and late-night alfresco meals.

And Nantucket dresses for dinner.

People really make an evening of it. One night, we couldn’t get a reservation until 9:45 p.m.—and I thought, Who is eating dinner at 9:45?

Well… Nantucket is. 😂

The restaurants were packed. The patios were full. People were wandering the streets, shopping at dusk, stopping for drinks and enjoying the evening.

There was such an energy to it.

It reminded me that sometimes dinner doesn’t have to be something you squeeze into your day.

It can be the event.

Get dressed. Find a beautiful patio. Order something delicious. Have another glass of wine. Wander around afterwards.

Stay out a little later than you normally would.

That’s part of what made Nantucket feel so special to me.

Thta’s a wrap!
