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!

We normally eat whatever sounds good!
I love blackeyed peas in the crockpot! I also love to make homemade bread and the mixer would be a great help!
I usually always like to go to a Japanese Steakhouse for New Year’s Eve. Although, last year I got married on New Year’s Eve so I’d say my wedding cake was my favorite “dish”!!
Lechon! Yum! I also like black-eyed peas
Black eyed peas for prosperity in the new year

We don’t really have a fav dish for that occasion as we try new recipe each year. New Year – New Recipe! 🙂
This will be the first year that the New Years Eve Meal is up to me! I will be making my fiance’s favorite dish….Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp Scampi with Twice Baked SWEET potatoes, & Pan-roasted Asparagus with Lemon & Garlic! ….& of course some Bubbly Champagne at Midnight! YUM!

On New Year’s we always order pizza, but this year I’m thinking about some nice homecooked Chinese food, and some fun appetizers. 🙂

We like to have an assortment of appetizers. Plenty of chips and dip, and hot artichoke is probably our favorite!!
shrimp toast, pot stickers and a big vege and fruit platter
New Years Eve for us is the night of good munchies/appetizers to go with good friends. I am already a TidyMom FB fan and am now a Sams Club fan on FB too. This mixer would be GREAT! I have already wanted one but just have never been able to afford one as nice. Happy New Year!
We love to do a big variety of finger foods…it’s so much easier when you have guests…especially with the kids!

I love “yellow chicken” and fried plantains with Columbian friends.
I love my mom’s black eyed peas and hog jowl. My mom always says that it is good luck for the new year!
My favorite NEW Years tradition is a whole variety of finger foods while ringing in the new year with family. So much fun!
Our favorite NYE meal is a prime rib dinner with baked potatoes and salad. Simple yet so yummy!!
My favorite New Year’s Eve meal is chili. My mom started this tradition when I was younger and now we have it by candle light. We also have some sparkling non-alcoholic drink like Martinelli’s or Welch’s to make it a little more festive.
