The countdown to Christmas is on with only 13 days to go!
Here are a few of my favorite red and green recipes
for your holiday menus
Holiday Salad with Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Croutons
This sweet and savory salad is truly a holiday celebration in a bowl!

Fresh strawberries, juicy oranges, buttery almonds
on a bed of fresh spinach and romaine lettuce
all topped with bacon wrapped asparagus “croutons”

The fresh greens and red berries make this salad
perfect for Christmas or any festive celebration

This tart makes a pretty presentation and
it is quick to assemble
It’s also a nice diversion from heavy holiday foods

Spinach & Bacon Spirals are a wonderful party food
or a tasty lunch

Enjoy the same flavors of a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich
in this creamy cheesy dip
Savory Holiday Bread Pudding isn’t red and green,
but it is full of delicious holiday cranberries
I hope I’ve given you some last minute inspiration!
Ho Ho Ho!

Last minute? I haven’t even started planning menus yet and barely have gifts finished let alone wrapped. What a year! I’m in Birmingham today signing books. Wish I had time to see you. I’ll be saving this to take a closer look and make my shopping list from for later! thanks for the help!
You have been a very busy gal!! I hope your book signing went great! 💕
