Waffles & Pizza & Vending … oh, my!

Hello, Monday!

Thankfully, today is my day off! I’m currently in route to Kansas City to stock vending machines with Erik.(Mostly I just watch him, sit in the van, and count money, ha).  We decided it’s too awkward for me to go in schools with him to stock (once a teacher kinda frowned upon us and asked us if we were there to eat lunch with our child, ha) so now I only really help at non school locations. But it’s fun to be along for the ride.

Before I forget, I added a Lesley Lifting Life page to Facebook the other day so if you have Facebook, you can go and “like” it at any time you wish … if, indeed, you actually “like” it ; ) It’s right here.Thanks for the love! : )

I usually link my new blog posts to my personal Facebook account but am contemplating switching it all over to the actual Lesley Lifting Life page … we shall see!

My mornings lately have been starting like this:A1 I’ve seen these Van’s waffles in the grocery store for some time now and I’ve always passed them by.

They were on sale recently so we checked out the nutritional stats, and decided to try them.  I’ve since gone back and purchased more while they’re still on sale : )  AA I love how easy they are, just put them in the toaster, add nut butter of choice, greek yogurt, fruit of choice, some agave nectar and you’re good to go … mmm.AA1AAA AAAA Another food item we’ve been making lately is homemade pizza!  After going to NY a couple weeks ago and eating plenty of pizza there, we just had to carry it on at home.  The dough is easily comprised of only water, yeast, wheat flour, agave nectar, olive oil and sea salt.

Chopped up toppings:

  • Mushrooms
  • Tomatoes
  • Mozzarella
  • Meat
  • Fresh basil

Pre oven:AAA Post oven: BBBThis one was half chicken/half thinly sliced beef patties.  Only thing that would have made it better is onions!! I’m a huge onion fan but Erik can’t take much of them.  In fact, we favorite pizza toppings used to be simply cheese, mushroom and onions … oh, yum!

I’ve been writing this post throughout the route and the Originally Organic Vending van has reached its last stop for the day so I’m off. 

Hope the end of summer/beginning of the school year is going well for everyone!!

  1. I always see these waffles but I've passed on them the past 3 times for the VAN's whole wheat Belgium waffles. Have you tried these yet? They are fantastic! I'm really loving Van's lately since my beloved Kashi waffles seem to no long exist. :(
