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’m going to have a houseful of kids so this year it’s a ham w/mashed potatoes (already made and in the oven). Easy peasy!

I love Spinach Dip with bread pieces.
Our absolute favorite New Years Eve dish is stuffed mushrooms! This past month we made them with whole wheat couscous, cranberries and goat cheese to make it healthier than our standard version…and they tasted great! Pair it with a nice pinot and you can’t go wrong.

Kraut & Pork is a New Year’s tradition for us!
My all time favorite dish for new year’s eve is pineapple glazed ham’
I don’t have any traditional food I make on New Years; but this year I am making a turkey dinner.
My favorite dish on New Year’s Eve? One I don’t have to cook!
My favorite NYE dinner would have to be made with Shrimp. It varies from year to year but its my tradition that it has to have shrimp in it. Love it!
My favorite dish for New Year’s Eve is a spinach-artichoke dip that tastes better than CPK’s and is incredibly addictive. It’s a fantastic appetizer.
I love making and consuming jalepeno Popper’s covered in barbeque sauce. They’re stuffed with cream cheese, green onions, and Cheddar cheese and wrapped in Bacon. Yum!
I don’t have a favorite. I will try new recipes depending on what I am in the mood for.

I never had a traditional NYE dish. I may have to start one this year:) I think light dishes we can eat all night would be good. My fave appetizer is Boursin cheese with anything that can be a vehicle (crackers, chips, veggies).

I love a good potroast & creamy mashed potatoes.
We usually do appetizers on NYE…my favorite would have to be buffalo chicken dip
Being a Latina we eat menudo. But might make ham with pineapple glaze, dressing, and of coarse black eyepeas.

Homemade salsa and chips is a favorite New Year’s eve dish.
We always have black eyed peas, colards, and corn bread.
