Now that school is back in full swing around here, more often than not, I need to get a quick dinner on the table. We eat a lot of pasta dishes around here and they can get a little boring. These Cheesy Pesto Pinwheels are super quick and easy to make. They will also add little fun to the meal. The Pinwheels go with just about any dinner. I’ve served them with pasta, steak and potatoes, soups, there are so many options. I have to keep an eye on them when they are cooling because the kids will swipe them if I’m not looking, then claim they thought they were an after school snack.
