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!

A dish? I stick to champagne! But… the net day, homemade meatballs. A mixer is great because I use three different kinds of meat.
Cheesecake! Its amazing with champagne

My Favorite dish is a taco dip.It’s great goes with anything and almost everyone likes it
We visit friends and have an appetizer buffet for New Year’s Eve. I’m always asked to bring a chili-cheese dip.
Would LOVE a Kitchen Aid Mixer and some of that bark!
I love steak for New Year’s Eve!
My favorite meal to eat is tamales! Yum!

We always have seafood on New Years Eve , shrimp, sushi, and finger food appitizers. Loving the Kitcheb Aide Giveaway !! 🙂
Taco in a bag — made with fresh, homemade Ancho Turkey Chili over your fav corn chips in the 1.5 oz chips bag. Easy way to run out to First Night Celebrations with a warm, nutrious snack as a hand warmer! Doing something more fancy? Dump the chips and chili in a mug and head out. Don’t forget the spoons. And, garnishes welcome — lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese.
I like to keep it simple on New Year’s Eve. My favorite thing to eat is grapes with extra sharp cheddar cheese and crackers. On New Year’s Day I always have black eyed peas and lima beans cooked with ham for good luck in the new year. Family tradition :).

Mexican food & drinks
This New Year’s Eve I made my famous, delicious Mexican lasagna. Served with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream and salsa! Yum!
I love finger foods/appetizers for New Years.
We order pizza and watch the count down with our kids.
…Hello, I’m new here and was just cruising around and loving every minute of it! Wonderful blog! :o)
…I would have to say that my fav’ thing to eat on New Years is Cocktail Shrimp. I know, it really isn’t much of a meal per se but I love it and usually we just ‘snack’ out on New Years, no actual meals.
…Thank you for the giveaway and Happy New Year!
…Peace & Blessings :o)
My favorite thing to have on New Years eve is a roast. This year we had a pork roast with apples & onions. So Yummy!!!

For New Year’s, we love spicy garlic chicken wings and lots of dips.
My favorite NYE treat is queso made with a big block of velveeta, a jar of salsa, and a pound of browned sausage all melted together. YUM!
I Like Tidy Mom on Facebook. (alot) 🙂
We have sooo much food, I really do not have a favorite, cause all we do is cook, and bake and then eat the entire week from Christmas and New Year’s! haha! My newest found luv in a meal is Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, with homemade alfredo sauce. BUt I am game for anything, I think my family just loves congrgating in the kitchen cause during the holidays, that is always where you will find us! 🙂
we love ordering pizza for NYE!
I like to eat pizza with lots of fresh fruit and crackers with a cheese ball.
My fav new years appetizer is breaded and pan fried ravioli with marinara sauce for dipping.
FB second entry… I love to ring in the new year with a Bellini.
My favorite New Year’s Eve/New Year’s dish is traditional pork and kraut and as I was mixing mashed potatoes with my hand mixer (and baking cookies), I was thinking I could really use a “real” mixer. Please count me in! 🙂
My favorite NYE meal is surf & turf.
