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 usually do finger foods and desserts for new years eve – i LOVE my mom’s grape jelly and barbeque sauce marinated crock-pot meatballs!
Cheese dip with nachos. I do not normally make this so its a treat. I also like to make other appetizers.
Our favorite dish on New Year’s Eve is Enchiladas! What a wonderful prize – thanks so much for the chance to win!!
A nice pot of soup is perfect on NYE! With an incredible grilled cheese sandwich to go alongside. This year I am thinking Roasted Tomato Soup with Garam Masala and a Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich. You might as well go out with a BANG!

My favorite is roasted pork, mashed potatoes and gravy, with black-eyed peas and fried cabbage…of course, we have to have cornbread made from my daddy’s corn meal (*he has his own grist mill)…and sweet iced tea! For dessert, we love my great-grandmother’s chess pie recipe…
Yummy!
Wow, you were right on the budget, awesome job. 🙂 I love the products selections at Sam’s Club and I gotta try their prepared dishes next time. Thanks for introducing me to their Simply Delicious Meals site. So many yummy recipes there. 🙂
My favorite dish for New Years Eve is something substantial and satisfying that I’ll feel full even after mid-night (don’t think it’s good to count down feeling hungry.) I love pot roast, mac & cheese/pasta, some simple sautee green/salad and red wine. YUM! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful stand mixer! Happy New year to you!

Black eyed peas for good luck.
Since it’s also my birthday, it’s tradition to have sushi.

Yogurt Marinated Chicken….simple…..delicious……and good for you! A perfect way to bring in the New Year.
I am from the beautiful islands of Hawai’i so our NYE is done multicultural style which often includes Japanese sushi, Chinese noodles, and Hawaiian food.
Happy 2012, everyone!
Black-eyed peas and cabbage and ham is our New Years traditional meal.
I am also already a fb fan. 🙂
I love a nice big pot of homemade potato soup, with bacon and cheese on the side to top each delicious bowl!
We usually eat pasta on New Year’s Eve. Last year, the hubs and I made homemade ricotta gnocchi. YUM!
We don’t really have a go-to dish for NYE per se, but pot roast is great for chilly nights like it!

My favorite “meal” on New Years is to make a spread of appetizers/finger foods. That way we can lounge around, snack, watch movies, and just be lazy without having to worry about cooking a fancy meal for dinner!
