Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Tortilla Pinwheels

These gluten and dairy-free tortillas pinwheels aren’t just for parties – they’re perfect for your your kids allergy-friendly lunch boxes too!

Since Garrett has gone dairy-free, he’s had to give up some of his favorite foods, so I wanted to make him something special to kind of make up for it.

So yesterday, while I was out in town for my chiropractic appointment, I stopped by Save-A-Lot in Mineral Wells to picked up the ingredients for dairy-free tortilla pinwheels.

I used to always think of tortilla pinwheels as being loaded with cream cheese, but these dairy-free days, we’ve learned to get creative, and I’ve found that the only thing we need to replace cream cheese is… mashed avocado!

Avocados may not be quite as fatty as cream cheese, but they’re creamy, and the fat they do have is super nutritious, plus, they taste amazing!

Now, since we homeschool, I don’t necessarily pack lunchbox lunches every day – those are reserved for field trip days! – but as a homeschooler, easy lunches are definitely a priority, and making pinwheels out of everyday ingredients makes the kids feel like they’re getting something special. 🙂

Those of you who know our story know that a few years ago, we went through two calf crop failures in a row, and went completely broke.

During that time, we were fortunate that we lived near a small town, where Save-A-Lot was the grocery store. I say fortunate, because when you barely have any money for groceries, you need a budget-friendly store.

These days, our budget looks a whole lot better (in fact, I think it looks pretty good!), but that doesn’t mean I don’t stop by Save-A-Lot when I get the chance. I don’t think it will ever matter how much money I make, I will always be a fan of saving money! Plus, Save-A-Lot stores are always clean and well-stocked, with a friendly, helpful staff.

The biggest reason I seek out Save-A-Lot stores when I can though, surprisingly isn’t the high quality of their store’s brand products – it’s because they carry one of the few potato chip brands that my husband doesn’t have an allergic reaction to! (most brands contain an oil that’s on his “no” list)
