We’re counting down the days until Christmas! While I won’t be hosting this year – we’ll be in Florida at my mom’s but I plan to help cook a few meals.

If you are new to the Real Food Recipes RoundUp with me and JoLynneShane.com, we ask that you share your own recent healthy recipe or meal plan from your blog. Please be sure to link back to one of us, and that the recipes you share use primarily real, whole foods. Each week we both host the linky so that means your post will be on both websites. AND we may just pick your recipe to be featured the following!

Did you catch the link up last week? Oh my – we had so many amazing recipes it was so difficult to pick just two! Thanks to everyone who participated.

First up is Holiday Champagne Punch from Tabler Party of Two. Andrea recommended serving Christmas Day. So festive!

How amazing is this Holiday Salad with Apples, Cashews, and Cranberries from Gluten Free with Judee? The more I can sneak greens into a meal this week the better.
