Ham and Cheese Pinwheels make a perfect after school snack!
The countdown to the first day of school is on! My oldest has been asking to head back since the beginning of August but for my two younger guys, that day should never come!
But come it will, and us Mama’s need to be prepared, from indoor shoes, to labelling backpacks and the return of the dreaded lunch making, it’s time to get organized for the first day of a brand new grade!
This year Walmart Canada is helping and inspiring moms across the country with their first ever Snack Report, filled with kid approved snacks! From Apple Streusel Muffins to Cranberry White Chocolate Granola Bites, Walmart has created a variety of fun and tasty new ideas that you can make right in your own kitchen to send off with your little ones in their lunch boxes this September.
Choosing one of the recipes, was the hardest part, I saw a number of choices that my picky eaters would love, but I decided on the Ham & Cheese Pinwheel Puffs because they looked like, not only a great choice for the lunch box, but for travelling as a family as well, and we were just about to leave for a 4 day road trip to Niagara Falls.

Notes
These ham and cheese pinwheels were quick and easy to make, I doubled the recipe and used both sheets of pastry dough that come in the box. I have one boy who doesn’t like ham, so one batch was plain cheese and other the ham and cheese. Feel free to get creative using different types of meat and cheese, we are even thinking of trying a pizza version with sauce, cheese and pepperoni soon!
The Ham and Cheese Pinwheels were a hit with the boys and they all agreed they would love to take these in their lunch to school. My youngest, as predicted, loved dipping these into regular ketchup, but my oldest liked them just the way they are and my middle boy who’s slightly more adventurous in the dip department fell in love with a gourmet version of ketchup!
What kinds of creative ideas have you come up with for school and work lunches??

I made these once, for my sister’s baby shower – they were a HUGE hit! Love them and while they look so fancy, they really are quite easy to make, aren’t they?
Super easy!
They look very tasty, I’ll have to give them a try. Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup would be a perfect accompaniment!
Those look amazing and my girls would probably love them in their school lunches as a change up to what they normally have. Definitely going to give it a go! PS: LOVE the Nanny Hudson’s Homestyle Ketchup mmmmmmm my jar is almost done I need to get me some more!
Homestyle Ketsup caught my attention, what a great side kick to these! I am all about adding a fancy kick to the simple!
it’s really good, a bit sweet with big chunks of tomato!
Not only do these sound (and look) delicious, but they seem to be really easy as well! When I am planning an “appie night” or entertaining, I like to do easy things that taste good. I will try these.
