Mother’s Day Giveaway #2 {$50 Chili’s Gift Card}

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on May 2, 2010

For The Busy Mom

Chilis.logo


I have not had the energy to do much of anything lately, let alone cook dinner at the end of a busy day. Take out is a very welcome treat, especially when it is from one of our favorite restaurants.

Chili’s Bar & Grill happens to be one of our favorites, and the fact that they offer curbside service makes them even more appealing. I was thrilled when I was approached by their marketing team to do a review and offer you a chance to win a gift card.

So, after church today, we headed to the Chili’s in Roseville. Ray ordered his favorite thing on the menu – the Chili Cheesesteak – and I ordered my favorite – the Southwestern Eggrolls. As always, we were not disappointed. Not only did we enjoy a wonderful lunch, but we experienced great service. I know our family can be overwhelming, and most servers are intimidated by all of our six kids, but our server was kind, patient, and efficient.

Aside from the chance to win a $50 gift card right here {see below}, you can also enter to win one daily in Chili’s Shout Out to Eat Out contest. All you need to do is visit ShoutOuttoEatOut.com where you can submit a 10 to 30 second video telling them why you don’t want to cook tonight!

I don’t want to cook tonight because:

1. I’m getting sick of the same four walls.
2. I haven’t gone grocery shopping in a while.
3. The dog just pooped in the house and I had to clean it up.
4. Chilis cooks a lot better than I do!

Heather McDonough May 7, 2010 at 1:46 pm

because I cook every day!

Gloria S May 7, 2010 at 2:04 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because I don’t like to cook any night!

Raelena May 7, 2010 at 2:07 pm

I don’t feel like cooking tonight because I don’t want to have to clean up the mess afterward.

Valeen N May 7, 2010 at 2:25 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because it’s been an especially trying week and I need a night off. Plus, I’ve run out of ideas for dinner!

shawna May 7, 2010 at 2:54 pm

Because I’ve taken care of three children under the age of 4 and I’m packing to move into our new house.

Dawn S May 7, 2010 at 2:55 pm

I don’t want to cook (on mother’s day) because my husband works all night and me and my little girl would love to have a night out together (we love Chili’s)……and I don’t think I should have to cook on a day that is meant to celebrate me;)

Debra P May 7, 2010 at 3:04 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because I have been taking care of a sick family member. debsweeps4@yahoo.com

Trisha Dowling May 7, 2010 at 3:24 pm

HaB May 7, 2010 at 4:11 pm

I can not honestly remember the last time we went out to dinner as a family – so this would be perfect!

Happi Shopr May 7, 2010 at 4:30 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because I have a terrible headache from coughing all day.

Stacy May 7, 2010 at 4:45 pm

It’s raining and I was planning on grilling! Maybe we’ll go out tonight!

Angela Garland May 7, 2010 at 5:06 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because I am tired from working all week.

Daniel M May 7, 2010 at 5:07 pm

because i’m not a very good cook and everyone else need a breaK!

Cee May 7, 2010 at 5:22 pm

We have had a rough week with the aftermath from the flooding here, and I have just not felt like cooking. We’ve also been put on water conservation alert, so that makes it tough to cook as well! Thank you!

Pat B May 7, 2010 at 5:25 pm

Food always tastes better when someone else makes it. And, Chili’s has great Margaritas

Tom May 7, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Because my body hurts too much! lol

carol y l May 7, 2010 at 6:40 pm

It would be a nice break NOT to cook, and clean up, too! Plus, to be the one getting waited on sounds really nice!

Debra F May 7, 2010 at 7:03 pm

Well, I already cooked tonight, and after a long week of work, I really didn’t want to. I’d love to have the night off from cooking (and of course the cleaning that comes after it) tomorrow because I deserve a break!

Don D May 7, 2010 at 7:40 pm

I don’t want to cook as I have my son’s baseball game tonight which I coach, so I will need to prepare for that. So this will take one thing off of my plate.

Aisling May 7, 2010 at 8:05 pm

I don’t want to cook tonight because I can’t think of anything different that everyone will enjoy. Chili’s has something for everyone (and they do the dishes too).

Liza May 7, 2010 at 8:22 pm

This would be a treat since we have two babies! Yummy Chilis!

katie a. May 7, 2010 at 8:31 pm

Hubby had the day off today. I got home after my 9 hour work day and he hadn’t even put on pants yet. There is no way in hell I’m making dinner tonight!

Cooking is no fun for 2 people. so it’s nice to eat out occassionally

misty May 7, 2010 at 10:43 pm

Mary M May 8, 2010 at 8:27 am

I do not want to cook tonight and seldom want to cook on any night. I like to take it easy at the end of the day. If I cook, I also have to clean up afterwards. It is much more relaxing to eat out.

Roblyn Honeysucker May 8, 2010 at 8:46 am
