Summer Nights: Dine Out Dinner On The Deck

June 26, 2020 by Alex Daynes

Summer Nights: Dine Out Dinner On The Deck

This post is sponsored by S.Pellegrino Essenza, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Summer Nights: Dine Out Dinner On The Deck

My favorite way to spend my summer nights at home is to enjoy a delicious, homemade meal out on my deck! I love the cool, crisp summer air, some deliciously grilled lemon chicken, fresh corn on the cob, and the most delicious lemon tarragon pasta salad. I love to pair this classic meal with a refreshing S.Pellegrino Essenza Flavored Mineral Water. It really completes the meal and the theme of Summer Nights: Dine Out Dinner On The Deck!
