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!

Crab Cheese fondue! I love any kind of fondue on New Year’s Eve but I particularly like this crab one. Chocolate fondue, too! YAY!
I don’t have a favorite for New Year’s Eve since the menu’s never the same. Once New Year’s Day rolls around, I could snack on cabbage with little sausages all day.
I always make loaded queso and we pig out! Veggie soup comes in the new year!

I don’t really have a favorite New Year’s eve meal! We are pretty low key, with just appetizers … so maybe MEATBALLS?

I shared this give-away on my FB wall! I would love to win this mixer because I do not have one and it would be very nice to have 🙂
Usually just a bunch of appetizers…favorites being buffalo chicken wings and stuffed mushrooms
Our 2 favorite NYE meals are fondue and dungeness crab. This year we went for fondue and it was a big hit, especially with the kids.
Always a tradition-Cabbage, but this year we went a little different and went with potato soup. It was verry yummy and filling. It pleased the whole family. At the end of the night the pot was empty. Thats how we know it was a hit at our house! Thanks and what a GREAT giveaway!!!
My favorites for NYE are the appetizers. This year I made deep fried pickles and jalapeño popper dip. YUM!
Liked Both you and SAMs Club on FB.
My favorite dish New Year eve dish is homemade tamales!
I like baby back ribs! Slow cooked tender, fall off the bone. With Coleslaw and Garlic Mashed potatoes!!
We love to snack on cheese and crackers, hot wings, and basically anything bite sized…not too heavy, but still filling 🙂

I always have Fondue for NYE
I like you on FB
Our favorite is sledding at the mountain, then home for pizza and movies. NYE with kids is a whole different ballgame 🙂
Hmm … just one favorite?! Has to be the cajun shrimp that my darling hubby makes with love & a whole lotta spice!! Accompanied by a flute of champagne, it’s the perfect way to ring in the New Year! Happy, healthy 2012, one & all!!
P.S. Funny related story … My 7yr-old son was upset with my husband on Christmas morning for not having a red KitchenAid (Pro HD 5 QT) Mixer under the tree for Mommy … he knows I’ve really wanted one for almost 2 years now. After he told Daddy he was bummed that he didn’t take his suggestion for my gift this year, my little guy told me he’d try to save up enough to buy it for me himself!! (Melted my heart, for sure!).
