It seems like every day since summer began we have eaten outside! From just picnicking on the back porch to BBQ’s at the park to quick snacks by the pool, it has just been too pretty to stay cooped up indoors. You do not need a special occasion to head outside to enjoy your lunch in the sunshine – just grab your favorite sandwich ingredients and start cooking.
Sandwiches are my easy go to lunch pretty much every single day in the summertime. Sub sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches – even grilled cheese are the perfect, light meal in the middle of a hot summer day.
This week we have already had one of our favorite sandwiches – Grown Up Grilled Cheese. This awesome twist on a childhood favorite is easy to make and tastes insanely good.

Sharp Cheddar Sliced Cheese
