New Years Eve Anniversary Meals with ALDI

New Years Eve Anniversary ?  New Years Eve Meals

New Years Eve Anniversary: Walt and I were married 14 years ago on New Years Eve/ New Years Day

Celebrating a New Years Eve / New Years Day Wedding Anniversary

When your Wedding Anniversary takes place on a holiday, like New Years Eve or New Years Day, one event or the other can easily become overshadowed.  The trick is to weave them both together for a perfect blend of both events.  Walt and I have often had parties on this day, or returned to our wedding venue for a special New Years dinner, or hung out by ourselves at home with a special dinner.  This year, we opted for a special dinner at home for our New Years Eve Anniversary this year.

New Years Eve Anniversary Meals –Chicken Chopped Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing; ALDI featured food includes Burlwood Cellars Merlot 2011 (California) $4.99,  Tuscan Garden Bleu Cheese Dressing & Dip $1.39, Tanimura & Antle Romaine Hearts $2.69, and Deutsche Kuche Sunflower Seed Bread $1.79

 ALDI for your New YEAR 2013
