Summer Sandwiches

It's finally Summer here! This means two things:

1. daily bike rides

2. oven-free cooking

I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to do on a hot Summer night is slave away in front of the oven. That's why our go-to dinner is always open faced sandwiches.

And these did just the trick after a long day of reading, sunbathing and taking a long bike ride in the countryside. 

What is your "go-to" Summer dinner menu?
