Dining Al Fresco {aka in our backyard!}

Now that the weather is warming up and the sun is staying out later, we love having dinner out on the deck.  Simple is usually best...


Chicken tacos...a bonus is cooking the meat in the slow cooker!


And a nice glass of chard goes a long way!  


Of course no outdoor experience is complete without a tiny diner to enjoy it with!  ;)

Are you eating outdoors more now that the weather has warmed up?

  1. Crock pot chicken tacos are a staple in this house, even Ashlynn loves them! We haven't been eating outside bc our patio needs an overhaul!

  3. We have a sunroom that we have been making alot more use of since it has warmed up! Still just as warm and sunny but without those pesky mosquitos that are so bad right now. But those chicken tacos look amazing and your little diner is too freaking cute!

  7. Totally agree, eating outside is way more fun! We finally just bought a new grill since we didn't bring our old one to the rental house... makes things even more fun in the sun! : ) I might have to steal that slow cooker chicken taco idea, though. Love it.

  10. We just love having dinner outside - so much more fun and relaxing. Plus clean-up is a lot easier since I can use the hose if things get out of control with my boys! ;)

  15. THe presentation is amazing! We do the same thing when we do tacos. In fact I think we may even have the same serving platter. Is that the fish serving dish from Pottery Barn's Great White collection?? And I love eating outdoors! Love your blog!
