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!

My favorite New Years dish would have to be Shrimp Scampi and Twice Bake Potatoes. And what New Years Dinner would be complete without the company of Family and Friends! To me, it doesn’t matter what you eat, as long as the company is with people you love. My Grandma passed away several weeks ago, and she had this same exact KitchenAid Stand Mixer sitting on her counter. I would have loved to have her mixer, but no luck 🙁 Happy New Year!
OH….and I have Tidy Mom and Sams’s Club on Facebook!!
we broke out the old fondue pot this year for some delicious chocolate fondue with tons of fruit! yum!
I love fondue on New Year’s Eve. It’s easy and fun and always good.
Oh my, would love to learn to use this beautiful mixer. Lifestyle Change this year (I don’t use “resolution”) is to start cooking more homemade meals for my family of 4 – this mixer would be a great addition to my Lifestyle Change. And we made Filet Mignon and Veggie Kabobs for NYE – they were delish!!
Tex Mex Black Eyed Pea Casserole, oh, so yummy!
Mexican dishes (tamales) and Ham with fixings. 🙂
I am a huge sucker for all the appetizers on NYE!! Good thing our diets usually don’t start till the 3rd heheh

Favorite dishes vary from turkey, to ham mashed potatoes, green beans and some desserts!

I’ve lost count how many drawings for a KitchenAid stand mixer I have entered. I really want one. My favorite New Years Day menu is simple black-eyed peas with cabbage & Mexican cornbread on the side.
I would use it to make all of my Christmas cookies that I am still enjoying while watching the ball drop on New Year’s Eve.
Thank you.

Italian sausage sandwiches were my favorite growing up…we served them at my wedding rehearsal dinner and now we have then every New Years Eve – a great family tradition!
My favorite new year’s eve dish is my “Supposed to be 7 layer, but only 4 layer dip”. I also like tidy mom and SAMs club on FB. 🙂
I love Mexican food on New Year’s Eve – and any kind of dips & chips, my weakness!
Our favorite NYE dish is bacon wrapped smokies! You can’t go wrong there! Haven’t met anyone who could eat just one!
I love serving chocolate mousse!
We always have shrimp for new years eve with my stepdads amazing dipping sauce. Lots of finger foods and fun but always shrimp dishes.
This year we had popcorn shrimp to please the little dipper toddlers in the group too.

I like to keep it light but festive on NYE, so I usually go with fish and a bright, fresh vegetable, like a beet slaw or cauliflower. 🙂
I love to enjoy roast beef, homemade mashed and green bean casserole. Yummy! My favorite. Oops… Don’t forget the cheesecake. 🙂
We always eat ham sandwiches and lots of grape salad!

my fave new years dish is maple, pecan and brown sugar baked brie! YUMMY!
My favorite dish on New Year’s Eve is Pizza rolls. Our tradition is to skip dinner and hibernate inside watching movies and eating appetizers until midnight!
my kitchenaid would be perfect for this family of little girls who love to bake in the kitchen with mom. this new years we attempted homemade cinnamon rolls. a shiny new kitchenaid, sure would’ve come in handy. 😀
I Love Meatballs, cheese, crackers, and cookies. Don’t forget a veggie tray!! Yum!! That way you can snack all day and all night!!
favorite new Year’s appetizer is nachos with carne asada, avocados, salsa verde, sour cream, fried onions and lots of cheese!
I liked Tidy Mom on Facebook!!
I have always wanted a red KitchenAid mixer. Not that it would mix better but I sure would be happier mixing with it.
my favorite New Year’s goodie is sweet tater chips with sweet pepper dip
I liked Sams Club on Facebook!!
my favorite is sweet pepper cream cheese dip with sweet tater chips
i love finger food and the sampler cheese from sams, also their prices are great. Santa did forgot that i want one so bad.
Favorite New Years Eve Meal~ pork chops stuffed with apples, stuffing green beans and bread that I am hooked on at the time (I love all forms of bread and get on kicks of what kind I want when) the bread is the only thing that changes.
I posted earlier, but it’s not showing up! :(. I like to make my 7 layer dip with only 5 layers!
Love steak on the grill for NYE and any appitizers to snack all night long!
I posted giveaway on my FB!

When it comes to New Years, I love the appetizers! Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorites, or pretty much anything that has warm brie.
