Last Call For Marie Callender’s Backyard BBQ!

By Erin

Disclosure: I received a gift card to sample Marie Callender’s Backyard BBQ Menu, but we ended up spending way more than that since my family loves to go here anyways. All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

Even though it may seem like fall with all the decorations, fall drinks, and with school being back in session, but it is still technically summer! The weather here still screams summer as it has and looks like it will be unbearably hot out for a while yet. Why not take advantage of what is left of summer and have some good old-fashioned BBQ? Nothing beats a good BBQ in the summer time and at Marie Callender’s you can still enjoy a great BBQ meal with their Backyard BBQ Menu! Come and get it while you still can! It’s only here until Sunday, September 14th!! After this weekend it will be gone. 🙁

Always a family favorite that I grew up with, with the salad bar that you can get with your meal and meals that come with a piece of pie, a great deal can always be found at Marie Callender’s, including their BBQ meals!

You can enjoy some delicious BBQ entrees starting at $9.99 plus tax AND it comes with a free slice of Marie’s legendary pie (excludes cheesecakes, seasonal fresh fruit pies and promotional pies).

Now, lets bring on the BBQ! Here are a few of the mouth-watering goodies you will find at your local Marie Callender’s on the Backyard BBQ Menu!

Entrees (starting at $9.99) includes:

St.Louis BBQ Ribs, Grilled BBQ Shrimp Skewers, BBQ Turkey Sliders, Grilled BBQ Chicken, Tri-Tip Sandwich, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, Tri Tip & Wedge Salad, and more! Don’t forget!! Each combo is served with a FREE slice of Marie Callender’s pie! 😉

First, they brought out their warm cornbread with honey butter!

Warm Cornbread!

Of course I needed something cool and refreshing to go with the cornbread, so I ordered an Arnold Palmer; YUM!!

Then it was time to order, I went for the build your own BBQ Platter.

Wordless Wednesday: Summer Sunsets in Lake Havasu

School is back in session, but I’m still in vacation mode. It has me wishing I was back out at the lake enjoying just one more summer sunset! Isn’t it beautiful?

A gorgeous Lake Havasu Sunset!

*Disclosure: This post is Sponsored by Cars.com, all thoughts and opinions are my own, and I really need to start looking for a new car myself!*

I remember car shopping for my last “new” car I had. My car had died on me on my way to my last final as an undergrad in college. I didn’t have a parking pass that semester so I had stopped to pay for a day pass. My car wouldn’t start back up… and I couldn’t just leave my car parked like that in the middle of the road. Panicking as my final was an appointment with my professor to go over one-on-one my portfolio and to turn in my final essay, I couldn’t be late. Hurriedly making a few phone calls to AAA and my parents, my mom was able to get to me in time and drive me up campus close to where the classroom was that I needed to be at, then went back down to my car to wait for AAA to come for my now dead car. A few days later on Christmas Eve, we went to find me a new car. I ended up buying myself a very expensive Christmas present! Now, many years later, I find myself in the same spot. This car I bought on Christmas Eve many years ago is now on it’s last leg (tire?) and I will be looking to buy another new car in the very near future.

Whenever you make a purchase like that, you are extremely happy for the new wheels and may be grinning from ear to ear with your new car face, but then when you think about the monthly payments for the loans you may have had to take out to purchase said car…. then you might not be smiling as much anymore.

This is where the cars.com contest comes in. We all know that Cars.com takes the drama out of car shopping but now they’re taking it out of buying a new car by paying off someone’s car loan up to $25,000.

My hair dresser and dear friend Richie that I have known for many years recently got a new car. He has a very special story about his car, which I hope to be able to share with you at a later date and time. Never the less, you can just see the pure joy and happiness that his new car has given him! Here’s Richie with his happy new car face that I love! It’s such a happy photo!

Check this one out too! I’d be dancing as well if I got a brand new car like this! 🙂
