Prior to Thanksgiving, I was gathering up leftover turkey recipes, because let’s face it, I always buy a turkey that is WAY bigger than we need for our little family. But, between soups and sandwiches, and pasta dishes, we used it all up, even if it meant making a few dishes to freeze.  This week, it’s all about the ham. Next week we are bound to have leftovers piled high.

These ham and cheese pizza rolls are kid-friendly, and perfect for snacking, or as appetizers for post-holiday entertaining.

Tip: If you place a toothpick through each roll, they don't expand too much and unroll during baking.
