My boys take a lunch to school every day. Sometimes I sit in my kitchen and try to dream up something new to put in there. Since I get bored of packing the same things every week, I bet they are getting bored of eating the same things every week. This was my fun new version of a lunchbox pizza! And it was a hit! 
The other reason I created these fun little Pizza Pinwheels is because finger food is my favorite! Food is more fun and so cute when it’s little. 
This is the crazy time of the year when I hermitize on my sofa and watch too much football, Duck Dynasty and Pioneer Woman! Let’s face it, half the fun of watching football is the yummy food. Pizza Pinwheels fit right in on my plate of other scrumptious appetizers! 
Whether you are trying to brighten your kids day with a fun lunch, give them an after school snack they will love or settling in for a footsie game…Pizza Pinwheels are the ticket! I love that I can make them ahead of time, too! 
Go find a good game to watch, grab a blanket, some snacks and settle in for a relaxing evening!Pizza Pinwheels
Pizza Pinwheels are everything you already love about pizza rolled up in a cute little bite! They make a fun appetizer, snack or addition to your lunchbox! The kids go crazy over this one!

Thanks for stopping by and for the pin Melissa! I read your comment on my post on Memories By the Mile! It’s always fun to find someone who understands the life of a dairy farmer!
Being I have never bought or have used pesto is there a substitute I can use?
I don’t want to buy pesto when the recipe only calls for 1 T.
You could leave it out and it would still taste fantastic. You could also add a little oregano, basil, and pasley. Good luck!
