These cream cheese ham pinwheels the perfect lunchbox companion. Another way we’ve been using them – an on-the-go dinner option! Kids LOVE them and you can prep a huge amount in advance to simplify your life.
Dinner on the go
Not only are my kiddos back to school, but we are back to fall soccer as well! We have 2 kids in soccer and that makes our evening schedule feel full. I feel really lucky though because our schedule could have been a heck of a lot crazier. Both Hunter and Zoe have soccer practice 2x a week, and by some miracle (Jesus was totally looking out for my sanity), their practices fall on the same nights, at same time, and at the same place.
How lucky, right?!
Since soccer practice happens during dinner time I’ve been making dinner in advance to bring for Nova, Holland and myself. We get to watch soccer, pick flowers, kick a ball around and come home hungry with satisfied bellies! And then dinner is also ready and waiting for the big kids when they get home!
Perfect pinwheels for on the go
For the first evening practice I made these cream cheese ham pinwheels and they were such a hit I made them again for the next practice later in that week! They’re on my lunchbox idea list as well because they hold up well in the fridge for multiple days which makes them the perfect candidate for lunchbox meal prep.
