Thank you for your giveaway and the appreciation expressed for our servicemen and women. My husband served in the U.S. Navy for 21 years (just recently getting out) and you don't see alot of acknowledgement for their sacrifice. I blogged your giveaway.http://everythinggoodhealthy.blogspot.com/tami_girl@hotmail.comHave a great day, Melinda!

Outback Steak House has teamed up with Tim Mcgraw and Operation Home Front during the month of March

How can you help?
You can help in two ways. . .
1) Order off the Red, White and Bloomin Menu at Outback in the month of March.

As part of their month-long “Thanks for Giving” effort restaurant-goers are invited to express their appreciation to our country’s dedicated servicemen and women by visiting Outback restaurants this month and ordering from the “Red, White and Bloomin’” menu. Proceeds from menu sales during the month of March will help to meet the $1 million commitment to Operation Homefront. The menu will be available through March 31.

2) Text HERO to 50555 to make a $5 Donation:

I had a chance to try some things from the Red, White and Bloomin Menu at the Outback near our house and I must say, that we had the best service of anywhere we've ever been. We were greeted by the manager who took a few minutes to talk to us and see how our meal was going. On top of that our waitress, Dina, who has been with Outback for 15 years, was FANTASTIC! She took the time to get to know us a little, she was constantly checking to see if we needed anything else, and was friendly and very positive. She made us feel like we were old friends.

Not only was the service excellent but my husband and I both had great meals. I ordered the crab topped tilapia and my husband ordered the streak and shrimp meal. And of course we split the Bloomin Onion as an appetizer and took most of it home, but who can ever eat and entire bloomin onion? My seafood meal was cooked to perfection and the sides were deliciously tendor, while my husband's steak was cooked exactly to his liking. Following our meal we shared a slive of carrot cake that is probably the best carrot cake I've ever had. Granted I don't consider myseif a carrot cake afficionado, but it was delicious. We were both very happy with our meal and experience at Outback.

Visit their website for more information, and to view the Red White and Bloomin menu for yourself. Our troops, and families of the individuals that serve our country do so much for us, this is the least we can do for them!
