Ham Pickle Roll Ups: Cooking with Kristin (Day 20: 31 DOK)

[@faithmom1890]

I take the softened cream cheese and add one "dry packet" of ranch salad dressing seasoning mix. It's the dry mix packet that is typically sold in a box of 4 packets each. This adds an awesome flavor to it.

[@julesmarie3525]

My grandmother and I used to make these. We both love them so much! I've never known anyone else who ate these. Aww thanks for bringing back memories of cooking with my grandma! Those were such special times! :)

[@journeythroughthree]

Our variation is to mix the cream cheese with a dash of garlic powder, finely chopped pecans and onion to taste, spread mixture on ham and roll and slice, have never tried pickle, thx Kristen will def try.

[@lalalee6799]

First of all, I LOVE how OCD you are about making sure everything is dry and tidy.... must be a WI thing. lol I have been making these for years and LOVE em, Thank you for the post!

[@maceygrund1196]

I need to try them this way! I make these often but use green onion instead of pickle. (And I don't cut them up! lol) So yummy!

[@ualemp902]

I've been binge watching your cooking videos. You put a lot of love into your cooking, so that makes it taste even better!

[@kgehmvlogs]

aw! that made me smile! :) xo

[@lilannegirl03]

my husband and his family LOVE these! they call them "Polish roses", and they also make them with green onions instead of the pickles...they are a staple at every family gathering and special occasion :-)

[@lilannegirl03]

oh, and they don't slice them into smaller pieces :-)

[@babycakes8434]

"Polish roses" why😦?We don't even eat it in Poland. They don't look anything like any roses, and Polish one either😦 It looks tasty, but I recommend to change the name though😎Maybe to "pickle and ham roses"😎

[@megablessedgram]

How cute are these roll-ups! Thanks Kristin.....and hope you're having a fun camping vaca!

[@Jujubeoh]

These look yummy, and I can't wait to try them. Kristin, I could so see you having a cooking show on television. You would be perfect for it with your great and funny personality and your cooking knowledge.

[@LindyLoo999]

Wow! these look good!! I wonder if you could use turkey too from the deli? or is it specific for ham? know what I mean? is it the ham that is half of the taste that makes them so good? or would turkey slices work too? I bet these are a hit!!! Lindaxo

[@marshafischer2370]

Thank you soooo 😂for the tips and tricks on this recipe! Exactly what I needed.

[@AllThingsMilSpouse]

These remind me so much of my favorite "ham & cream cheese rolls".... done exactly the same (sometimes a little grated onion in the cream cheese and a lot of folks here in NC also chop some dried beef from the jars into tiny bits and mix that into the cream cheese too.... all ways are AMAZING). I love pickles and with the ham rolls being normal to me, I cant wait to give these a go. I remember the tips too...you have to dry the ham to get the cream cheese spread on, years of patting it, LOL!

[@theladyinblack3]

Those are making my mouth water! I love dill pickles and ham but never thought of adding cream cheese to the mix!

[@iciclewrin]

I have always used pickled asparagus spears instead of pickles - it makes a delicious appetizer. I have never heard of using pickles, I will definitely give this a try. Thanks Kristin!

[@momsmakeup07]

Oh and I love that the dishes that you were using for this are already done and in your strainer :)

[@Silver-he8xk]

Omg I love these my cousin started making them years ago and now it's my snack to bring to parties and we call them pickle pops they are so good but a little time consuming but worth it!

[@kgehmvlogs]

+Lorie Bogdanic agreed!!!!!

[@kayekog]

Wow, love this idea and seeing everyone's variations on it. I need to get caught up on your other cooking vids. Thanks. Enjoyed it!

[@emjayvideos]

Kristin, my hubby and I loved these!!! You were right on about drying the ham and pickles with paper towel b/c I tried my first one skipping this step and realized it didn't hold together at all! :)

[@fletchersmommy1]

Looks yummy. Can you make them ahead of time; how long will they stay good in the fridge?

[@jennifereigenheer7090]

Thank you Very much for showing details...like drying the pickles and ham. I've made these before, and they didn't hold together because the food was wet. Loved the video! :)

[@marshmellowtwist]

They look good! I also like the ideas others are giving in the comment. I need to try something new for party appetizers.

[@gladconst]

My Mama always made these, but we didn't use cream cheese. I'll have to try your recipe...loved hearing the little birdie chirping!!! XO! Kim

[@kathybruner4091]

Oh my gosh, I used to make those for parties all the time, I would use a whole pickle. It's been FOREVER since I made those!!

[@lisaduvalls3143]

I would eat all the ends, no need for an extra bowl. So delish!

[@3434dedqw]

Can't wait to try these!

[@terrigaines1812]

My Aunt Tammy makes these every year when we have Christmas at her house and they are sooooooo good!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Terri Gaines right?!? so unexpectedly good!! lol Thanks much! xo Kristin

[@maryharris7985]

We used to eat cream creese & cucumber sandwiches cut in triangles , so good

[@Born2BeLoved1]

You can make the green onion roll-ups the same way. Also, for a cheaper alternative you can use regular square shaped ham lunch meat.

[@prettydaysies]

i'm slowly catching up with your DOK vlogs, Kristin, but i had to watch this one first! OMG i love pickles! my classmates in school used to call me Miss Pickle... i even had a pickle shaped phone which i got as a gift! LOL of course, i only eat dill or kosher pickles... no sweet or bread & butter... gotta be sour! i will have to try this out at the next party i go to! thanks for making them for us! XOXO

[@garywoodsii8799]

I do mine with tortillas as well, but I have done them with just meat. I do ham rolls with cream cheese and chives. I do turkey rolls with cream cheese and chives (because usually people have a ham OR turkey preference) and I also do just pickle cream cheese rolls for my vegetarian friends….and pickle rolls are DELISH!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Love all those variations!!! thanks for sharing! :) xo

[@courbry123]

Yum. I do this with salami, cream cheese and the Pepperidge farm little bread sticks. And I don't court them. Have to try these.

[@Citrushearted]

haha I LOVE those. I use beef sliced very thin lunch meat thingies. I've heard them called like cowboy roll ups or something like that. I usually use small dill pickles I don't use spears because of the wetness factor. Cream cheese....yum............

[@faithmom1890]

I forgot to add that I use small tortillas too. First I take a small tortilla, then I put on the ham, the cream cheese/ranch dry mixture, and roll it up. It depends on what mood I'm in as to whether or not I do the tortilla. I love them the way you do them too!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Oh that sounds like a great twist!! :) Thanks for sharing! xo Kristin

[@jamiedahl2200]

Thanks for the tips! I'm making these for the folks at work tomorrow, and didn't want to make a huge mess of it (that's what us men do). The video will help!

[@PrettyMeanGumbo]

Sounds awesome,Kristin!

[@subliminalone1]

These look delicious!!! Thank you for posting this!!!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Lori Lewis Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy!! :) xo Kristin

[@PrissyandPink]

I am sooo trying this tomorrow!! I don't know if I can wait to roll them up to eat them though. I mean since they're for me I can just wrap and eat right? Heck yeah!! Yummy, can't wait!! XX, P

[@natalie075]

Oh yeah, three of my favortie foods!!! YUMMMMM

[@33cgitter]

We use Buddig Corned Beef and it's amazing!

[@mistydawnd]

I LOVE these! However, I do need to confess i am now a corned beef pickle roll up convert. Have you ever tried them with corned beef?

[@emilynoel83]

i'm totally going to make these!

[@rharris8890]

In Pennsylvania people make these using Lebanon bologna and sweet pickles--very good

[@momsmakeup07]

these are a hit at our family parties :) SO DELISH!!

[@animalrescuegeek]

I love these. Yum! I have used spring onions too.

[@LadyZ712]

I never seen or heard of these until you mentioned & showed them before! This is so easy to do, love it! I am definitely doing this next time I have to bring a dish over at a gathering. I'm brainstorming here, will do turkey. I guess that is doable and as @mistydawnd mentioned, with corn beef! Those sound amazing too! Thx for this idea! You're just the cats meow ;) love you girl! :) Sammie

[@MissK27]

I like to make these with turkey instead of ham and sprinkle some Mrs. Dash on the cream cheese before rolling...yum!!

[@Witchyone131]

Great idea! Low carb too! Love that

[@dgarard523]

I put green onions in mine. I have also put green and black olives in them.

[@koricoconut4293]

I make these all the time for parties. Sometimes I use salami. Everyone loves!! I havw a cheeseball recipe that everyone loves too.

[@tashgerk]

They are also delicious with dried beef (rinse the dried beef off first since it it very salty). Great video!

[@kgehmvlogs]

tashgerk Oh yes! I bet they are!! thanks for the idea! xo Kristin

[@vixxysauce]

I love these they are so delicious I make them all the time

[@lvrnotafighter]

Looks yum! Is that a red velvet cake in the background?!

[@aLexxg239]

do you know if you can make these in advance...a day before. 18 hours to be exact?

[@kgehmvlogs]

+AGTV You can...but I wouldn't go much more than 18-24 hours in advance as they won't hold together as well! Good luck!

[@evidentress1]

I'm going to add your recipes and ideas to my recipe binder. :). My Chicago-born boyfriend will love these. Being used to southern smoked ham I pick on him about his love of "that wet, pink ham" in the deli. So he will be shocked when I make this for him. ;)

[@sheehan83]

great recipe will def. try for my next get together!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Hey there! Yes I do!! I have a stone I sharpen them on now, but in the past my dad always did it for me!! lol spoiled much eh? Thanks for the video ideas!! :) xo Kristin

[@kgehmvlogs]

Hey there!! Yes you can but only about a day ahead of time and then they will start to get too slippery!! :) xo Kristin

[@johnheather04]

GENIUS! I am so making this, thank you for sharing this! ~Heather

[@karenrussell1142]

My first time watching your video. I can’t wait to make these. The camera was a bit far away I like to see what you are making up close. Thanks for the video looking forward to watching more.

[@eherbert89]

These look so good! Love your vlogs and beauty videos! Keep up the great work! -Liz :)

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

a person could use any lean lunchen/deli meat, but the ham & pickle combo is a classic~

[@bellaanditsy]

I do salomi cream cheese pickle roll ups, I am gonna try your looks yummmmmm

[@notyetanotheralias]

by the end all i could see was the pink bowl and its contents that im sure bob appreciated! lol

[@prncsrosebud]

mmmm yuup, another Kristin recipe to save! Thanks for sharing. :D xo Rosey

[@MotuAle]

Ok I'm making these!!

[@aardvarksrock]

I love these things, but I'd rather eat 'em than make 'em. Anyways, drying the ham (and the pickle) is crucial; otherwise you have a wet, slippery mess that slides all over and won't roll tight. BTW, I usually use sweet pickle instead of dill, and sometimes green onions, too. Thanks.

[@blmeyer8362]

+Kevin Moloney green onions sounds GOOD

[@JenniferElise]

Such a classic appetizer! :D

[@Sistik123]

one of my favorite finger foods, Should try it with pickled asparagus!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Sistik123 interesting!! perhaps I will, thanks for the suggestion! xo Kristin

[@schizlor]

Love your cooking videos! Do you sharpen your own knives? For those of us who can't cook to save our lives a cooking basics or a "starter kitchen" or how to cook meat video would be great!

[@amysauntem]

Hi Kristin, I'm new to your channel's and have been enjoying catching up on all your videos. we are having a food day at work tomorrow, and I'm gonna give these a try.... :)

[@kgehmvlogs]

Hi Mari! Sorry for my delayed response!! Thank you so much for subscribing and watching! I hope these were a hit at work!! :) xo Kristin

[@Rhonda_Godsdaughter]

I love those things

[@annschotz9752]

I LOVE your personality!! :) Great tutorial! Thanks so much! These are one of my very favorite snacks. I don't make them too often though, but now you have inspired me with your tips and tricks! ;) Keep up the great work! PS: I'm originally from Wisconsin, too! Born and raised there, ya knoah?! ;)

[@kgehmvlogs]

OH so glad you enjoyed it!! :) lol~ ya know! :) too funny! xo

[@ZanaLawson]

OMG I make these too and they are yummy!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Awww thanks!! that would be a dream!!! :) xo Kristin

[@kaseysilva1986]

thank you for the informative vid ♡

[@kgehmvlogs]

I haven't but I might now!! :) xo Kristin

[@Kristinn321]

What a great easy hors d' orve! Thanks so much for sharing! xo Kristinn (I don't think I spelled that correctly, but you know what I mean)

[@justinmuehlfeld2811]

Do you cut the piles

[@jerseygirl1125]

Are you from WI? You said paper toweling< lol I only have ever heard that term used in WI lol

[@kgehmvlogs]

yes I am! :)

[@cherries1952]

That is a different but simple appetizer. You can always get lo salt ham & lo fat cream cheese. Even the Laughing Cow cheese would be good. But I guess it would be more expensive. I once tried no salt pickles. OMG, they were the most disgusting thing I ever tasted. Threw them all out. I tried adding spices but no go. I love pickle on a ham sandwich so these sound good to me. I tried to reach for one from your plate but I missed! XX

[@kelligirl724]

The nerds...too funny! Will have to try these. :)

[@deanagaye]

Yum!

[@jacquehughes9850]

I do the same thing but I use pickle asparagus

[@samplejer]

Gotta make sure to dry the pickle!!

[@kgehmvlogs]

Yes indeed!!! :)

[@JaimeSmith317]

Interesting. .must try those! :)

[@SpacyStacy32]

I just made this using that Buddig corned beef instead. Mine kept falling apart. Maybe need to dry the pickle so it's not so juicy.

[@kgehmvlogs]

yes!! Drying the pickle will help!! :)

[@One4UT]

I have this recipe. It's called Cowboy Sushi. -Pam

[@kgehmvlogs]

Girl!! add the pickle! You will never go back! lol xo Kristin

[@PrincessBreeBaby]

My family loves these. Except when we make them, we don't cut it up, we leave it whole! They are definitely tasty!

[@kgehmvlogs]

+PrincessBreeBaby that they are!!! :) Thanks for watching! xo

[@ambergreer303]

Have u ever rolled them in a flour tortilla?

[@kgehmvlogs]

Nope but I have seen other things rolled in a tortilla...I think the juice of the pickle might make it mushy! xo

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

on the tray they look like sushi, too cute. I dry off my pickles and most deli meatsas well ; )

[@dEEmARIE-]

Thank you

[@darlarson2794]

We also make em with green onion. The kids call em frog eyes

[@kgehmvlogs]

ha! That's a cute name!!

[@kgehmvlogs]

hahaha!!! good eye sister!! :) I am a clean as I go kind of gal!! :) xo Kristin

[@kristinnunez2702]

I grew up with these tasty treats but the ham was replaced by salami. I'll have to try the ham next time. :)

[@leighanne6853]

I've always made these minus the pickle with a green olive on the toothpick.

[@chriskross2859]

does the ham have to be boiled

[@Lollipop12104]

+christopher kelley Nope the ham doesn't have to be boiled, you can use honey ham or whatever you like. Our family also makes them with spring onions, those are very good as well.

[@chriskross2859]

+Lollipop12104 thanks

[@kgehmvlogs]

+christopher kelley hi there! Lollipop is correct you can use whatever you prefer…I just like to make sure it is cut thick enough so the cream cheese spreads easily without ripping the piece of ham! Good luck! Kristin

[@blaineharris4921]

Thanks

[@kgehmvlogs]

I think you could use Turkey but you would lose some of the yum factor!! :) lol xo Kristin

[@CindyAndrade100]

Everything is better with cream cheese!
