Easter is right around the corner and not only am I excited about making my favorite carrot cake recipe but also I AM HERE FOR ALL THE APPS. Anyone else?

I have fond memories of Easter, which is why it continues to be one of my favorite holidays. When I was young, my auntie Roxie would make us feasts that were so gigantic you could feed a room of Viking warriors, or at least that’s what it seemed like when I was little and my stomach could only handle one tiny plate full of mashed potatoes. Our typical menu consisted of pineapple and clove ham, turkey mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet corn (sometimes creamed), au gratin potatoes and green beans. Dessert was usually a French Silk Pie from Baker’s Square (who else remembers BS?!).

To me, there’s nothing better than those mini chocolate eggs and jelly beans to deviled eggs, bacon wrapped dates and of course MY MORNING CINNAMON ROLLS if you’re feeling really adventurous. GIVE IT ALL TO MEH. #dramatic

Step 1: Lay out 2 of your favorite burrito-sized wraps. We like to use spinach, but whole wheat or gluten free wraps would also work well!

Deliciously savory smoked salmon pinwheels rolled up with a flavorful chive and dill cream cheese and tons of fresh spinach. This easy, healthy appetizer comes together in just 10 minutes for the ultimate party food or snack!
Ingredients
  • 2 burrito style spinach wraps (or can use any burrito size wrap)
  • 4-6 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • ½ tablespoon chives
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2-3 cups spinach
  • 4-6 ounces smoked salmon
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl combine cream cheese, dill, chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well-incorporated and creamy.
  2. Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the cream cheese onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Spread the cream cheese out to the edge on one side, as you’ll use this side to “seal” the pinwheel.
  3. Evenly distribute the spinach between your two tortillas, followed by the smoked salmon.
  4. Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. It’s important to roll these as tightly as possible so that the pinwheels stay together when cut.
  5. With a small serrated knife cut the edges off of each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. You should get about 14-16 pinwheels, 7-8 per wrap.
  6. Feel free to assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve. Serves 4.
Notes
To make dairy free: Use a vegan cream cheese such as Kite Hill.
