Forget the Bread Make a Waffle Sandwich

Ok, a pink waffle sandwich, might not exactly spring to mind when you are thinking of what to eat for lunch, but trust us this is a delicious change from bread. Ask any kid, “Why use bread for your sandwich when you can use waffles?”

The pink colour for the waffles is healthy it comes from beets, which also adds a lovely, subtle flavour. Choose sandwich fillings to suit your tastes – vegetarian, meat lovers, grilled veggies, basil pesto, ricotta or goat cheese and few greens.
