Ham and Cream Cheese Roll Ups (3 Ways!)
Back-to-school time can be a uniquely challenging time for parents. There’s so much to think about that it’s nice to be able to have a few things fall into place easily.
That’s why I’m here to inspire you with a fun way to pack lunches for your kids. 
Often, I buy a pound of Boar’s Head Ham to last our family Monday through Friday. To keep it interesting from day to day, I use my recipe for ham and cream cheese roll ups with three different flavorings.
By changing up the filling, each day’s lunch can be unique.
When it comes to deli meat, I trust Boar’s Head for quality products made of the finest ingredients. With such a variety of products that kids love, Boar’s Head makes school lunch easier for parents by offering nourishing products that make lunch-packing effortless.
Plus, Boar’s Head Meats, Cheeses, Condiments, and Spreads are gluten-free!
You can use any of your favorite Boar’s Head Ham varieties for these ham and cream cheese roll up variations. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can get your kids involved with crafting lunch.
They can pick the filling of the day, whether it’s green onions, strawberry jam, or Boar’s Head Kosher Dill Pickle Spears. 
Did you know? Ham and cream cheese pinwheels with pickles or green onions are a classic Midwestern party food. Ham and cream cheese pinwheels with strawberry jam, on the other hand, are inspired by a Monte Cristo sandwich variation I had from a local Cuban restaurant.
Good recipes come from all over, and they taste even better when made with Boar’s Head products.

August 16, 2018 at 11:32 amI love pickles a lot , unfortunately I am a vegetarian so I will probably use these Kosher Dill Spears in Vegetarian Sushi Rolls or cottage cheese rolls .
