Wow, another holiday season is over. But, I have one more holiday gift to giveaway! See how you can enter to win a KitchenAid Pro HD 5 qt Stand Mixer at the end of this post! EDITED: GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED
I hope you were surrounded by the ones you love most! Our holiday seemed to just go on and on and on, and I was sad to see it end, as out of town family loaded up their car and headed back to Kentucky yesterday.
It always seems like SO much prep, and then BAM! it’s all over way too fast!
Right before Christmas the good people at Sam’s Club challenged several bloggers to create a holiday meal with an assigned budget. My budget was $60, and I decided to use it for a pre New Years Eve dinner with just the four of us.
I had been cooking, and baking all week, so I decided to let Sam’s Club do the cooking for me! I wanted an easy, yet delicious meal we could all enjoy.
Sam’s Club made it simple. By shopping their Artisan Fresh section, I was able to put a great tasting meal on the table with little stress for me! – and we even have left overs!
Budget Friendly Holiday Meal
I couldn’t have come much closer to my budget! My total was $59.21.
Here’s what I picked up:

Chicken and Bacon Bruschetta ($9.98)
Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo ($10.88)
Spring Mix for salad ($4.47)
Herb & Garlic Focaccia ($2.78)
Artisan Fresh Cheesecake Sampler ($14.98)
Wine ($12.98)
$56.07 + $3.14 (tax) = $59.21
This was a nice treat and holiday meal that wouldn’t break your back or budget, leaving more time for family and guests! You could stretch your dollar even further if you wanted to cook your own meal. Sam’s Club has taken all the work out of that for you too, with their Simply Delicious Meals site, full of recipes, meal plans, wine pairing and even shopping lists!

I guess I’d say pizza. We don’t usually celebrate New Year’s but we do sometimes rent some good movies & have pizza that night.
Black-eyed peas and cornbread is my favorite.
Artichoke dip is my favorite dish for new years eve.
I already like you on FB
We don’t have a tradtional dinner on New Years Eve. We either make a meal as a family or go out to eat or a movie.

We like shrimp cocktail but this year we are trying some new appetizers and probably a meat and cheese tray.
I LOVE finger food and appetizers for new years! So easy and yummy. My favorite is jalapeno bites. Halved jalapenos filled with cream cheese and bacon bits. Baked at 350 for about 15 minutes! YUM!
Lobster raviolis!

My favorite New Years dish would have to be black eye peas and cornbread, Southern style! Yum Yum!
The only constant every New Years Eve is the company we keep. There are three couples that get together each year – some years we all cook a course – but for the last two years we have chosen a theme and had a chef come in and cook for us. 🙂
