Pinwheels Recipes – Mix & Match

By | September 30, 2021

Hey yall! Long time no recipe. I mean LOooooong time. Like years! Ouch! Dang. Well anyway, I recently made these Cajun Ranch Pinwheels for a work function and had a couple people ask about the recipe. Luckily, I had a couple pictures of them so I decided to share them along with some other pinwheel recipe options. I will try to make the other Mix and Match Options and include those pictures at some point.

I have noticed several recipes lately that reminded me of these pinwheels my Granny used to make and decided these would be perfect for our lunch potluck.

    We used to make similar pinwheels but we spread vegetable cream cheese on spinach burrito wraps. They were passed off as healthy appetizers but I’m really not sure how healthy they were. Though they were delicious. I bet my boys would like the pizza version you have here!
