I always do something special for the kids on the first day of school, whether it be a special dinner, dessert or even an after school snack and this year is no exception. When I was at Safeway, trying to figure out what to make the kids for their treat, I saw that Hillshire Farm has new Natural Honey Roasted Ham with no artificial ingredients and 97% fat-free, I wanted to try it out.
I thought of the pinwheels my mom used to make when I was a kids, cream cheese and turkey on tortillas and knew I wanted to make my own version. I grabbed the ham, some cream cheese, ranch mix and tortillas and headed home. Then, last night, after the kids went to bed, I went to work. These instructions are for 2 soft taco sized tortillas:

Now I just need to head on back to Safeway and pick up more Hillshire Farm Naturals for their lunches too. I think they might like the Black Forest Ham next! I won’t forget my coupon this time! You can save $0.75 on any ONE (1) Hillshire Farm Naturals® Black Forest Ham or Honey Roasted Ham with the digital coupon available through the Just4U online portal. Expires 8/9/15. (While Supplies Last)
And did you know that Hillshire Farm® is offering a “Love It or We’ll Eat It” Guarantee for those who try the product. They will donate a lunch to someone in need if you “Love it” or provide a rebate. I just love a company that gives back!
I shared with you the great after school treat I made for my kids, now it’s your turn. What special treats do you make for your kids?

August 19, 2015 at 9:14 amMmmmm yum! I give my kids ham and cream cheese in a tortilla. However, I usually just fold it like a burrito and call it a day. Never thought to chop then into wheels or add ranch seasoning to the cheese. Thanks for the idea! 🙂 My kids don’t start school until next week, but I might make it their first after school snack too!

August 19, 2015 at 3:49 pmMy hubby would love these! He loves anything on a tortilla (go figure) and I get tired of the peanut butter tortillas he likes to make! Thanks for the idea!
Uncreative Mommy says
August 22, 2015 at 10:08 amI am a lot like your husband, I have tortillas for everything! Technically I do it because they are low carb and they are replacing my breads, but I still love them so it’s all good! And I can see getting tired of peanut butter on tortillas, although I have peanut butter every morning with my apple!
What else does he put on tortillas? I am trying to find more ideas for my own meals and snacks!
