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!

NYE is all about appetizers. Queso, spinach dip, meatballs…and desserts!
My favorite NY(or anytime!) dish would be halibut. Yum!

A traditional New Years dinner often included posole in my house when I was growing up. I have added tamales when I can find good ones. Who knows, if I win the mixer I might be able to make my own! Happy New Year!

I’ve always been a junk food kinda new years gal. Easy finger foods… That’s the way to go 😉
Shrimp scampi.
We love lots of appetizers on New Years Eve, but especially love a bean salad called Texas Caviar. Delicious!

It’s not a NYE party without pigs in a blanket! It’s a holiday tradition in my family!
Finger foods and time spent with family & friends is my idea of a perfect New Year’s eve! Happy 2012 to all.

My mom always made roasted pulled pork and black eyed peas with mashed potatoes. super yummy!
Crescent-Wrapped Brie is my new favorite and SO easy to make, just need a tube of crescent rolls, pat dough to form continous sheet of dough and cut into two sections, place 8oz round piece of Brie Cheese in the middle of one sheet of dough, then cut out the corners of 2nd sheet of dough, then place the 2nd dough sheet on top of the Brie and fold up edges of both dough sheets to meet and pinch together, use the cut dough sections to make pretty toppers on top of creation, brush with beaten egg to make a shiny appearance, and bake 20-25 mins @ 350 degrees and let cool for 15 mins. ( I like to roll my creation in a mixture of brown sugar and crushed nuts before baking, but other suggestions are putting scallions and crushed garlic ontop for an added kick, or another way is to add your favorite chutney or jam ontop of the brie before wrapping it up) Serve with fresh fruit and crackers, you will be the hit!
I like pigs in a blanket for new years eve
I want want want want…..need need need need a Kitchen Aid Mixer…. my mixer will hardly mix cake batter!
Gotta win the Kitchen Aid Mixer……yeah!
I love pork, saurkraut, and mashed potatoes
We’re having appetizers…our contributions are cheese sticks, buffalo chicken dip, and crab/sausage stuffed mushrooms.
Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite New Year’s meal is a warm chicken stew with warm bisquits….just enjoying the stew with family that day!
My favorite dish for new years is shrimp cocktail. I don’t ever eat it anywhere else or any other time of the year – so it’s a treat!

Rosemary and Garlic Prime Rib!
We like to have a pasta bar. We make a few types of pasta, then serve a homemade meat sauce and pesto. Fills everyone up for the long night ahead!
