Huge Giveaway at Mommys Kitchen $500 Kitchen Aid Mixer & Simple Holiday Ideas.

This Giveaway is CLOSED,
A Winner has been Chosen.

Isn't she beautiful? Well today I am going to be giving you the chance to win this awesome mixer. First off everyone knows how crazy things can be during the holiday season.
 

Well, Sam's Club has two ways to make things a little bit easier on you. First, I know a lot of you will be baking and cooking this holiday season, but you shouldn't have to do it alone.
 

 Why not let Sam's Club help you out. Have you been to Sam's Club lately? Well I have and they have so many holiday foods that would go perfect for any holiday gathering.
 

Maybe you will be entertaining this season or just a quite family gathering, either one Sam's can help. They offer a "Holiday Made Simple Page" that has everything from Wine Pairing, How to video's on Holiday Baking, and a awesome Food & Entertainment Section. So you see there is a ton of information to help you out.

Last month I was one of three privileged bloggers to take part in a conference call with Pat & Gina Neely from Down Home with the Neelys.
 

They shared with us all their advice and secrets to fuss free holiday entertaining and a few recipe ideas. Pat and Gina explained to us how Sam's Club is their go to place for the holidays.
 

Everything from appetizers, entrees to desserts. Taking ordinary items and putting that Neely spin on them to make them extraordinary.
 

Click on the links above and you can see how Sam's can help you out this holiday season.

My favorite section is the 10 Appetizers for Under $10 , now that's a great deal. Pictured below are just a few of the appetizers they have for less than $10. I can vouch for the potato skins they are really quite tasty and so quick to pop in the oven.
 

The meatballs are a great deal as well. You can just add them to your favorite barbecue sauce or add some Heinz chili sauce and any jellied cranberry sauce and toss them in the crock pot for a quick appetizer.
 

Do the same with little smokies, add a bottle of Heinz chili sauce and a small jar of grape jelly and toss them in the crock pot the same way. So you see there are so many possibilities. You can take one of your favorite recipes and just use one of Sam's food products to help you out.

Thank you Pat and Gina for those quick little ideas. Everyone can use some help this holiday season. I stocked up on a bunch of appetizers on my last visit to Sam's Club. It's tradition to have finger foods and quick treats at my house on Christmas Eve. That way we have plenty of time to bake cookies for Santa.

Speaking of quick treats lets not forget about dessert, my favorite part. Sam's has all sorts of yummy desserts either in the freezer section or in the bakery you cant go wrong with all they have to choose from.

The Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake would be perfect, just open the box and serve it up or make cheesecake balls for another quick treat. Just use a small cookie scoop and scoop out the cheese cake and roll into balls. Then dip the cheesecake balls into melted chocolate.
 

Place in pretty liners and add them to your holiday dessert tray. Everyone will think you went to a lot of fuss, but I wont tell. Also don't forget the beverages why not have lattes for your guests.

I purchase all my Flavored Coffee Syrups at Sam's Club they have so many to choose from. Vanilla, White Chocolate, Caramel and more. Just warm your milk (cream), brew some strong coffee, and add your flavored syrups for a wonderful latte made at home.
 

Who needs Starbucks, plus Torani syrups is the brand Starbucks uses. I am also including a few recipes to help you out. You can use your slow cooker to make a big batch of Gingerbread Lattes or a Decadent Pumpkin Spice Latte.
 

 If white chocolate is your thing I have a wonderful Copy Cat White Chocolate Mocha recipe. By using your slow cooker you can make a large batch and it can stay warm all at the same time and your guests can just serve themselves.
 

So you see entertaining is easy with just a few ideas and some items from Sam's Club.
