After-School Snack Time!! ((Hot n’ Ready Ham Roll-ups))

It is official, school is back in session. I have to admit – for the first time in several years, I am sad summer break is over. We had a great ((and very busy)) summer. The kids attended a few camps, we enjoyed our annual trip to Table Rock and we even managed to squeeze in a trip to Branson with my mom and dad.

But, in a blink, we jumped from packing and unpacking suitcases to gathering school supplies and packing backpacks. The boys attend a local private school that is a blend between homeschool and traditional school and their first in-class day was Thursday.

This year, Kade & Brod are in middle school, Shep is in 4th grade AND Gracie starts kindergarten ((say it ain’t so!!)). The guys leave the house about 7 and get home after 4 — what a long day!

I new they would be ready for a pick-me-up when they walked in the door and these roll-ups did just that.

The smell of warm bread baking in the oven greeted them as they walked in the door. Immediately, I was met with questions: “is that dinner?” “what is that?’ “can we have some now?” and then came the “wow!! thanks mom!!” and my fave — “THESE are SO good!!”.

Three simple ingredients are all you need to make this yummy “welcome home from your school day” snack! ((I always keep a few cans of crescent rolls or sheets on hand for such a time as this.))

I made two loaves of ham & cheese roll-ups by laying the crescent dough sheet out flat, covering it with a single layer of ham and placing three cheese sticks ((evenly spaced)) on top and rolling the whole thong up into one giant loaf. Each loaf can be cut into 5 even ((2½”)) sections.
