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!

One of our Favs on New Years Eve is Chinese food!
I already “Like” you on Facebook 😉
My favorite New Years Eve recipe when a crowd is coming over is a burrito bar. Everyone can make their own and it keeps them full for the long evening of festivities.
my fav recipe this year was Vanilla Bean cupcakes, I fell in love with them:)
i shared on Facebook!
Homemade pasta and homemade cheese ravioli with a marinara sauce,
and fresh grated romano cheese. With a salad.
I love to make anything sweet for new years…i made a german chocolate cake from scratch this year!
We make mini tuna cakes that are awesome!
I love pigs and a blanket!
I just found the blog via pinterest, and am already hooked!
Well we don’t do a traditional New Year Eve meal. We usually have a bunch of different chips and dips!! YUM!!!

Baked mushrooms stuffed with Italian breadcrumbs, freshly chopped basil, and diced tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese dipped in basil curry dipping sauce!!!
We always have appetizers on New Year’s Eve and I love hot chicken dip. I attended a party this year where they served pork ribs and I have to say I did enjoy those too!
Yes Santa has forgotten mr kitchenaid mixer for the past 40 years!
We love to have hot wings with ranch dip and celery and assorted finger foods. And of course desserts.

This year we went snowboarding for New Years Eve and went out for an Italian meal after. We don’t have a yearly tradition but you can’t go wrong with Italian. Santa brought me wonderful gifts this year but a late KitchenAid mixer present would make my day! 🙂
one of our favorite new years appetizers are mini meatballs.
