Happy Birthday to Outback Steakhouse! 20 Years!
April 1, 2008
Outback Steakhouse is celebrating its 20th birthday this month and with that comes the anniversary of the Bloomin’ Onion, Outback’s signature dish and the first item on the menu 20 years ago.
Here are some interesting facts on the Bloomin’ Onion:
- Outback has sold more than 133.5 million Bloomin’ Onions.
- 15 million Bloomin’ Onions are sold each year.
- Before it is “bloomed,” each onion is specially grown to be 16 ounces big and 4 ½ inches wide!
- The Bloomin Onion remains true to its original recipe: 17 different spices to flavor the onion and an additional 37 spices in the dipping sauce.
In honor of its birthday, Outback has also created a select number of special menu items that are only available through the end of April. For more information and to view the menu items, visit: http://www.outback.com/foodandmenus/featureditems.aspx
Now you know you want a Bloomin’ Onion, don’t you. Come on. Go get one. What better way to celebrate a birthday than to stuff your face with a Bloomin’ Onion? None, I tell ya!

Personalized Fruit Roll-Ups? Rule the school with these. (WIN!)
January 28, 2008
Over at Mommy Needs Coffee, I mentioned my chance to order a box of personalized Fruit Roll Ups. How cool is that? Every year I get to stand in the Valentine’s section of a store while my daughter stares at every Valentine card box they have to offer to find just the perfect one. (They never have the perfect one, by the way.) And then we get to find the one that Susie doesn’t have or to avoid that one that Buffy had last year. Or stay away from anything that could someone be misconstrued as from a BOY. NO! Not from a boy!
This year, we are so going to be the hit of the class with these personalized Fruit Roll-Ups.
We logged onto the My Fruit Roll Ups site and started our design. Now, that was fun. There were several design images for Valentine’s day to choose from. While this was a monumental decision for my daughter, it was not as huge as picking out the perfect card (of which none of them were appealing). This was harder because she wanted all of the designs.
We started by choosing the perfect picture for her. Then we added a personalized message. Now, she will have edible cards to give away for Valentine’s Day for her class.
How cool is that?
Do you want to do that, too? Three of my readers will win the chance to win a box of 30 personalized Fruit Roll-Ups. Here is the catch. You have to comment here or on Mommy Needs Coffee and leave me the sweetest Valentine’s messages you’ve sent or received. It can be a non-typical sweet message but one that meant a lot to you. THREE of you will win a chance to order your own box. (Let’s show up the Muffin Mafia!)
BUT there is a FAST time limit. You have to order by February 3rd to get these sent to you in time for Valentine’s Day. If you don’t win but want to order, please go here. If you order before February 2nd, you get a $10 discount. Note: I receive nothing from telling you about this or from giving away three free boxes.
On your mark. Get set. Get rolling!
