I’m going to come right out and say something that might make me unpopular. Summer is coming to an end and I am very happy about it. I know this kind of talk is shunned, especially in a state like Michigan, but I can’t help it. Fall is the best! Tailgating, cookouts, and enjoying the last few months of warm weather. I am into it!

The ingredients and why they work so well together

These ham and salami cream cheese roll-ups have:

Softened cream cheese with spices added in. Mix the cream cheese with garlic powder and seasoning salt.
Flour tortillas. Perfect for easily wrapping up the ingredients together.
Ham and hard salami. Purchased lunch meat from the deli section.
Pickles. Dill pickle spears work best.
Colby jack, tomatoes, and green olives. Secure each appetizer with a toothpick and top for an extra flair of presentation.

Add a piece of cheese, tomato, and olive for garnish.
