Hey guys!
Is everyone adjusted to school now?
We pretty much are but I feel like I’m forever looking for ways to really streamline to lunch making process.
So I’m trying to find things that I can either make ahead of time or that are just easy to grab and put in a lunchbox without much fuss. But I also want things that are going to keep my kids full throughout the day.
Part of what’s making my life super easy when it comes to lunches are these Yoplait yogurts. The Yoplait multipacks recently got a makeover that includes an easy open top so you (or your kids) can see which flavors are left and easily grab them from the fridge.
I picked up the Strawberry and Peach package and a package of all Strawberry at Walmart to get us started this school year. My kids love both flavors and they’re super quick to pop in the lunchbox with an ice pack to keep it nice and chilled.
They also make great snacks after school when your kids need something super quick because they cannot wait longer than 2 minutes to get outside and play with their friends.
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels
I’ve made these Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels several times since my kids went back to school. They are super easy to make ahead of time and then I slice them and store them in the fridge so that all I have to do is pop 5 or 6 slices into a small container and toss it into the lunchbox with the yogurt and the ice pack and a couple other things.
I know that making a sandwich in the morning isn’t a huge deal but man, at 6:30 in the morning it’s just nice to have something already prepped and ready to go.
My kids love them. The boyfriend even comes home from work and swipes a couple slices whenever I have them in the fridge.
How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels
These are so easy! You need burrito size (meaning big) flour tortillas but feel free to mix it up and use the spinach ones or whatever kind you prefer. As long as they’re big.
First, you need to make the cream cheese spread. Soften some cream cheese on your counter for awhile and then you mix dry ranch dressing mix (found in the same aisle as the bottled salad dressings) into it and then a splash of milk to thin it out just a bit. Then you mix in cooked and crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
The cream cheese spread gets spread onto the flour tortillas and then you put a layer deli-sliced chicken on top. Then you just have to roll them up and slice into cute little pinwheels!
Seriously so easy!
