Eating out is one of my favorite things to do.  Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE cooking for my family and I really enjoy it, but as I’ve said before, with the hectic schedules some of us moms endure, we deserve a break from time to time.  When hubby suggests a night out for dinner, I’m all for it and I welcome it with open arms.  For me, it’s more than about the food, it’s the time spent together discovering new places and revisiting some of our favorite places. Since eating out is such a pleasure for me, I’m glad to bring you some good news you might enjoy.

For all of you busy moms out there who need a break from the kitchen, this one is for you.   Ok, I’ll be nice; dads and singles can play along too.   The nice folks at Restaurant.com thought you’d enjoy a night out of the kitchen by offering 4 of my readers a $50 Restaurant.com gift card.
