Recipe Request
Posted by Sherry McGregor on 08 Jul 2009 | Posted in: Inspiration and Motivation, Life After School, Relationships and Team Building
A few weeks ago, we had a potluck here at work. I made one of my favorite go-to snacks, green chile pinwheels. It was also the last week of school, so I made an extra batch of pinwheels and sent them with my husband, Mark, to school. (Mark teaches seventh-grade math.) At the end of the day, he brought home the empty plate and two requests for the recipe. The pinwheels are simple to make. That’s probably why they’re among my favorites, and I was thrilled to share the recipe. As I was writing, I wondered about you and your favorite go-to snacks and potluck dishes. Care to share?
Green Chile Pinwheels
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup chopped green chiles (or good New Mexican salsa!)
4 flour tortillas
Mix the cream cheese, garlic salt, and chiles. Divide the cream cheese mixture into fourths and spread each fourth onto a flour tortilla. Roll up each tortilla. Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap, and stick them in the refrigerator until just before time to serve. Then cut the rolled tortillas into one-inch slices and enjoy.

My favorite recipe for staff meetings: apple dip. 8oz cream cheese. Pkg.Marzhettis carmel dip. 1 pkg. Health bar bits. 2 bags of apple slices. Spread cream cheese on platter then spread carmel dip then sprinkle health bits on top. Sprinkle apples around edge
I love the popcorn ideas. We are having our big Circus day today and will be making the snack mix. Thank you all for the great recipes.
Trail mix is always a quick easy way to get rid of leftover snacks…chocolate chips, plantains, M&Ms, raisins, pretzels, etc.
Wow what a great idea for sharing some interesting and looks like fun recipes. I think I will try a few. It’s great when you can find some different ideas and pass them along. Thanks.
I love the recipe, it is a favorite of mine too. Having read the other responses,I wondered what state prohibits children under 5 from eating popcorn. We have it as a regular Friday snack. Last year our school won a grant for food. We had fruit or vegetables two times a week. The kids tasted all kinds of food. What a great experience!
I like the idea to put the recipe here. I am a teacher and a mom. Many times we have class party or have some snack at home and i have to think creatively for some excited item to be served on the table. Good idea
I love the idea of posting our favorite recipes. We can use all the help we can get both professionally and personally. I would especially appreciate any nut-free, and healthy snacks as more and more parents are objecting to sugary snacks at school and the food allergies seem to be increasing.
Thanks for all the great snack ideas. I just moved to kinder after several years at 4th grade and I am a little rusty with snack thoughts.
I know I can count on Mailbox subscribers to have fantastic ideas.
Umm, my taste buds are craving something new. I am going to include this recipe in my next upcoming menu.

FYI
It is against the law to serve popcorn to children under 5 yrs of age. We had a whole lot of popcorn units. but after a child chocked in a movie theater the law was past
Mixing together popcorn, Cheerios, and chocolate chips make a good snack. I’ve also added Cheese-Its, but I prefer it without.
My preschoolers love this one. We call it Popcorn Surprise: we pop a bag and popcorn and mix it with whatever random snack food we have left. For example some days we mix popcorn with marshmallow, pretzels, cheese crackers. I find it a great way to use up the odds and ends of snacks we have left. Popcorn Surprise wins every time because its a surprise what is going to be mixed in with the popcorn!!
Here’s another receipe that I have shared with my classroom of Kindergartners as well as my co-workers.
1 Bag of Bugels Chips
1 Bag of Pretzels
1 Can of Regular Peanuts (salted)
1 Box of Cheez-It Crackers
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Then add 1 package of the powder Ranch Dressing/Dip and mix around again so the powder is mixed up good. Then add 1/4-1/2 cup of vegetable oil and stir it around in the mix. The oil will soak in to everything. This makes a large amount so feel free to cut it in half if necessary. Sometimes I don’t add the peanuts if kids are allergic to them.
