One thing I love about summer is getting out as a family and doing things that the winter weather the past 6 months has prevented us from doing. Even simple outings to eat at a sit down restaurant are often interfered with due to snow storms and bitter cold temps. Thankfully it's beginning to feel a lot more like summer now, which means we can get out more. This past weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed to our nearest Chili's Grill & Bar for lunch!
We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our meal! I have to say one of our favorite parts of the menu are the appetizers. With so many choices, you're sure to find one that everyone loves. We enjoy their chips and salsa, but next time I would love to try their loaded potato skins. Don't they look delicious?!
Our meals were just as great which included corn dogs and macaroni for the kids, a yummy BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwhich for me and a Classic Sirloin for my husband.
We not only loved the food, but the service was great as well. We're always impressed with how quickly we get our food. The whole family had a great time celebrating the warm weather and getting out together as a family!
And, for those who enjoy Chili's ice cold margaritas, they have a great promotion going on right now called Margarita Madness. The World's Freshest Margarita, The Presidente Margarita and the Patron Pomegranate margarita are three of the nine fantastic margaritas that Chili's has to offer during this promotion. I was impressed with their large selection when checking out their drink menu on our last visit. Known for their great taste, any one of these nine margaritas could make the perfect night out with friends or a great way to celebrate summer!
To enter the Chili's Margarita Madness sweepstakes, upload any photo on http://www.chilismargaritamadness.com of you and your friends/family/significant other at Chili's. It's that simple!

In the summer, I like light meals, usually a lot of salads that include greens, some fruit and a little grilled chicken.
