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!

I like to have lots of appetizers on New Years Eve….spinach artichoke dip is a fav!
your site inspires me so, has helped me find craft ideas, made me proud of women, and I share many of your ideas with friends.
I have been thinking of starting a cookie business out of my home but really need a Kitchen Aid mixer first. Hope it is me, can’t think of a better way to start the New Year than winning this awesome prize.
I already like you on FB, I added a like for Sam’s and am sharing thing on my FB
BTW We are neighbors- well I live in the Metro East of St Louis
i love lil’ smokies wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with brown sugar…yummm
We always do finger foods on New Years Eve. I love to have dips, coctail weiners, etc. It’s always a hit with the kids. However, I tell them it is a once a year meal as there is 0 nutritinal value to most of it! P.S. I’ve been DYING for a mixer. I HOPE I win!!!!
I’ve been trying to convert some of my favorite holiday treats to a comparable gluten-free version since I recently learned I’m allergic. I was successful the other week with Nanaimo Bars, but it was a lot to stir by hand. . .
Already like TidyMom on FB and liked Sam’s Club.
I like panes rellenos (chicken sandwiches) for New Year’s Eve. They’re easy and delicious and fill you up!
Jalapeno popper dip …so yummy for New Year’s

One of my fav recipes would have to be phyllo cups with mushrooms, white wine, garlic and a little bit of parmesan cheese.
I love finger foods, like potato skins, roast beef roll ups, chips and dip, chees cubes with crackers and fruits such as grapes and strawberries.
Favorite new years eve food would be anything with chicken, along with a Sam Adams.
We like guacamole and chips!
Like both on FB!

I think my favorite thing on New Years is a very simple fruit salad with clementines, pomegranates, sugar, and allspice. So delicious, so easy, and so healthy. 🙂
Jalapeño poppers!
my favorite dishes to make on New Years would have to be my cream cheese and salsa dip, yum also this amazing ranch dip, some awsome olive dip, and french onion dip!!! I think its safe to say that my family is a bunch of chip eaters and we LOVE our dips!!!! You cant forget the sweets! I love the amazing chocolate cake I make from scratch (tastes like it comes from a box!) and also homemade sugar cookies! an awesome KitchenAid Pro HD 5 Qt Mixer sure would make my job a lot easier in the kitchen 😉
I love to eat manicotti for new years dinner!

We usually do appetizers on New Year’s Eve. One of our favorites is little smokies in homemade bbq or sweet and sour sauce. We also love a dried beef cheeseball recipe that my mom has been making for years! Thanks so much for the chance to win such an awesome, awesome prize!!
Every new year’s day, my momma makes her very famous mung bean pancakes. She puts in some fermented kimchi, ground up mung beans, bean sprouts, pork, and some scallions. It is the staple new years dish at our home.
