Happy Friday, friends! Even though my mind may or may not be on fall goodies, it’s still  officially summer around here, and it’s still warm outside. And when it’s hot, I just don’t feel like sweating the day away in my kitchen.

Thank goodness for air conditioning though, right? I seriously could not function without the AC. I remember way back in my college days of living in the dorm and it being eleventy-billion degrees in there. Oh, there was air conditioning, but they would only turn it on if it was above 80 degrees for five consecutive nights in a row. Not days, nights.

So, needless to say, the air conditioning wasn’t turned on a whole lot during my first two years of college. But luckily, I lived off campus my junior and senior year, so I was as cool as a cucumber then.

Back in my younger years, the heat didn’t affect my cooking, as I didn’t really cook in college. My idea of “cooking” was toasting a bagel to make a sandwich or heating up some soup.

Thankfully, I’ve wised up over the years and (obviously) learned to love cooking. But I still don’t love it when it’s hot. And that’s why I love making quick and easy meals, like this Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich.

So, it only seemed natural that I created this Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich for an easy meal. Thinly sliced honey ham, swiss cheese, fresh tomatoes, and crispy bacon are packed between fresh slices of bread that are grilled to perfection. With just six ingredients and hardly any prep work, you can have this sandwich ready to be devoured in no time!
