New Year's Eve Menu

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope each and every one of you had a happy holiday with family and friends.  As we roll into 2012, I want to say thank you to all the followers of Coupon Kitchen.  I've thoroughly enjoyed turning one of my passions into a hobby that can reach a large audience.  Reaching out and helping other people plan their meals with ease is the reason I started this blog.  I sincerely appreciate all of the comments, emails, facebook messages, tweets and texts about how much you are enjoying the menus and the big difference it has made in your lives!  Hopefully 2012 will bring many exciting and happy memories to you and your loved ones.

Below is a sample New Year's Eve menu at a fraction of what it would cost in a restaurant.  Last year we had a similar menu and it was delicious.  We enjoyed a low key dinner party at our house spending time with close friends and eating a decadent meal - all while saving money!

Holiday Market

Live in the Triangle area of NC and searching for a great place to find holiday gifts?  This weekend you'll be able to check off everyone on your list at the Junior League of Durham and Orange Counties Holiday Market.  On Saturday, November 19th you will have two chances to shop for unique gifts and goodies from over 50 artists and vendors, including two of my favorites, Hazelwood Soap Co and Naptime Creations.  The event is held at the Durham Convention Center in the Marriott in downtown Durham (201 Foster Street) from 10am-4pm ($5 admission) and 5pm-8pm VIP event ($25 admission).  The Holiday Market is a fun way to complete your holiday shopping list, spend time with friends and/or family, and enter for a chance to win amazing raffle prizes - all while giving back to the community (proceeds from the Holiday Market enable Junior League to support many community projects).  For more information, check out their facebook page and website (be sure to look at all of the fun raffle prizes).  I hope to see you there!

Naptime Creations & Giveaway

I recently stumbled upon Naptime Creations by the recommendation of my friend.  Although I don’t have any children yet (other than my two furry kids), I am always admiring the adorable bows my friend’s nieces are wearing, courtesy of Naptime Creations.  This online store is the product of a crafty mom who hand makes both unique and classic bows for an extremely reasonable price.  The big bows can also be monogrammed for your child with either one or all initials.

With holidays, football bowl games, and basketball season right around the corner, what better time is there to order a unique and charming bow that can be handcrafted for any occasion?  I adore the UNC bows and can’t wait until the day I have a reason to purchase multiple!

It’s easy to find the perfect bow for your child by visiting Naptime Creations on facebook with shipping anywhere in the U.S.

Naptime Creations is giving away a $30 gift basket to a lucky Coupon Kitchen reader!  The winner will get to choose between a holiday and everyday basket, and all bows will be customized based on the age of little girl(s) wearing the bows.

To enter:

1) You must leave a comment below telling me which custom bow is your absolute favorite from the Naptime Creations Facebook page.
