Cheery cherry toasts
OK. It's hot.
I'm not getting into any kind of debate about Climate Change. I'm just looking at a weather map and I see red everywhere in North America. (Those of you in Europe aren't looking so bad and the southern hemisphere is in winter so I wasn't including y'all.)
Anyhow...as those who know me know, I am not a fan of conditioned air, so cooking is sometimes too much.
Today, I decided on a cooler meal for my lunch.
Cherries are fairly inexpensive now so I had a few on hand. I was just going to have those for a meal. But then, I decided to make an open face sandwich...and here it is.
Cool, not too bad in calories (about 170 in all for each serving) and full of plenty of good-for-you antioxidants.
