Outback Steakhouse - On The House!

We LOVE the Outback Steakhouse restaurant but tonight's experience was the worst! My dh and I received a couple of gift cards to Outback Steakhouse for Christmas. We rarely get to eat out because it's expensive, it has to be the right time of day and it's hard with all the kids. Tonight though we were going to hit the dinner hour at 6pm and go for it. We arrived and sat at the table for 10 minutes before the waiter came. We went ahead and ordered and the waiter came back with mine and dh's drinks but not milk for our boys (Mistake #1). Our boy ordered some fries with his meal. The assistant manager came to the table and told us there was something wrong with the fryer no fries. Fine no big deal just order something else and when she passed by again we asked her to bring our kids milk (Mistake #2). Thirty minutes passed and there isn't any salads. Finally someone else delivers the meal. We are wondering where the salads are and why weren't they served? (Mistake #3) My dh and I don't complain or give waiters a hard time but this was NOT cool at all. The manager comes to the table we talk for a while about these issues and he wants to make it right. I don't know what happened to be honest. It was just one thing after another. The manager Zack gave us our meal for free and we got to keep our gift cards. For me to have a nice dining experience, please take care of the kids needs! I take care of them all day please just bring the extra napkins get the drinks and their food so I can have a peaceful meal. Seriously! I always tip extra if the server does that! ;)

We will be back again but I don't think it will be any time soon.

French Fries and Fish Sticks

I'm not a fan of any seafood but the rest of my family will eat it. If you are in need of a quick fix lunch for the kiddos then here is a plan. First preheat your oven to bake 425 degrees. Take a baking sheet and put some of these french fries and fish sticks on it. Bake them for 14 minutes and there you have a quick fix lunch for the kiddos. No, it's not the healthiest of meals but if you are in a crunch it can make them pretty happy. You can always follow it up with some sort of fruit for a snack! Plus they can wash it all down with a nice big glass of milk. My kids love the crunchy fries and fish sticks. They have it on their little list of favorites.

Thumbs Up - M&M's Ice Cream Treats

M&M'S® Brand Ice Cream Treats

Mars Inc. says, "America's #1 candy takes over the ice cream aisle with this fun and delicious new treat. Creamy vanilla ice cream is dipped in a chocolate coating and then covered with a colorful candy shell. Now available as individual treats or in a multi-pack of three popular colors—Red, Blue and Green." We allowed our soccer star to pick out this treat yesterday while grocery shopping. It's a bit over priced for 5 ice cream treats. The kids really love it as you can see by the thumbs up.
