Lamb burgers for the boys and a veggie burger for me with Mexican grilled corn salad (with avocado, red pepper, scallions, cotija cheese, lime and ancho chili), purple cabbage garlic-tahini-Greek yogurt- mayo slaw, grilled sweet potato fries and mango chili lime margaritas!!!

Now that summer is here in full swing and this year, especially, we have been having predictable stretches of warm and sunny days here in Seattle, eating out on our deck has become a dinner routine for us. I am really going to miss this once this awesome weather wears out. Till then, we are going to enjoy our dinners out on the deck and you guys enjoy the pictures of the awesome dinners and hope you get inspired Smile
