Toto is our baby pug. Recently, I was looking over old iPhone videos with Toto and was deeply touched with how tiny he was back in a day, and that’s why I decided to compile the video showing how Toto was growing up.

Veggie wraps with smoked salmon and cheese spread

 Hi everybody! Let me share with you an uber easy recipe of my fave veggie wraps with smoked salmon.This is a great choice for parties or when you simply don't have enough time to surprise your beloved ones with more impressive/ extravagant dishes. There was literally no one who tried these wraps and was not stoked with them!

 All you need for this dish is:

Thin slices of smoked salmon

Cream cheese spread (I love the ones with Herbes de Provence cause they add such mouth-watering flavor ;)

Leaf lettuce, which may be combined with spinach, romaine, and Belgian endive 

Spices of your choice. For example, curry, paprika, turmeric, nutmeg, and sumach (1/2 teaspoon of each) 

Flatbread (I prefer using Armenian/Georgian thick flatbread)

That's all you need for the most basic option. However, you may go a lit bit further and add a grinded cucumber and thin slices of a bell pepper, an avocado, and a tomato. 

It's highly important to cut everything in thin pieces; otherwise, you'll end with a fat wrap, which is not that convenient to cut into portions and, what's more important, to eat.  

Start with spreading cream cheese all over flat bread. Then, distribute equally all the ingredients as well as spices over cheese. Roll it up and cut into several pieces of about 5sm in width. Voila! 

Bon appétit! ^___^
