Bonefish Grill

Sorry! This giveaway is now closed! Congratulations to Jeannine (Commenter #7) on winning this gift card! Please check back each Tuesday for a brand new giveaway!

I am so excited about this week’s giveaway because it is to one of my favorite restaurants. Bonefish recently issued a Seafood Challenge to discover if Bonefish offers the best seafood around. I accepted the Bonefish challenge and was sent a $25 Bonefish gift card as well as a $25 Visa gift card to use at another seafood restaurant, and then compared the two.

We took their challenge and Bonefish was definitely the clear winner here.  Living in Indiana has made me long for the seafood selection and fresh taste that we used to have on the East coast. The closest thing in our town to fresh has been Bonefish and they deliver some of the best seafood I have ever had the pleasure of eating. If you don’t believe me, sample some of their Bang Bang Shrimp or the Grilled Tilapia with Lemon Butter Sauce. It is truly delicious! There hasn’t been a dish there that I have tried that I did not enjoy.

Lucky for you, I get to share a great giveaway so you can sample some of the fresh seafood fare at Bonefish Grill!

Bonefish would like you to know about a new You Tube channel they have launched. You can now join Bonefish Grill’s founder Tim Curci on a series of culinary journeys from sea to table in a brand new series of five Webisodes.  Watch as Tim and friends venture out in the Gulf of Mexico, discover the secrets of oyster farming, and prepare a decadent grilled feast. We wanted to share with you just one of the fantastic videos and you can view the rest on the Bonefish Grill Videos channel or through the Bonefish Facebook Page.

Want to sample the food yourself? You can enter to win a $25 Gift Card to Bonefish Grill today! To enter to win, leave a comment by Tuesday (10/06) at 8PM EST and tell me one thing you would like to see on MomAdvice in the upcoming year! Good luck!

  1. I cannot imagine improving MomAdvice..it’s such an “it” site already. As a mom, I find tons of great tips for being frugal and family friendly. There’s one F missing in there though.. FASHION. :) How do we balance looking fashionable with our frugal-ness and mom-ness? It would be great to have a week of Frugal Fashiony Finds for Families. But again, I love all your MomAdvice already. Best of luck to you and thanks for a great opportunity / giveaway.

    In fashion and friendship,
    Ina

  2. Hi Amy! I would love to see ideas on parenting such as behavior modification ideas, rewards, chores/pay, and how to have those difficult conversations with the kiddos.

    You are awesome!

    Posted by Risa Baltes | September 29, 2009, 1:49 pm

  3. Hmm, hard to think of an improvement, but I’d love more articles on organization – this is an area I can always use more help with!

    Posted by Pam | September 29, 2009, 1:55 pm

  4. Yum. We love Bonefish. I would like to see more about parenting challenges that you work though, discipline, allowances, chores, etc. I’d like the site to stay focused on momadvice, rather than craft projects.

    Posted by amybee | September 29, 2009, 2:02 pm

  5. Mmm. I’ve always wanted to go to Bonefish. This would be a perfect excuse! I’d like advice on how you shop for your kids – clothes, shoes, gifts, gear, etc. (where, when, how much, good deals…)

    Posted by Emily @ Little Home | September 29, 2009, 2:46 pm

  6. Thanks for the chance – I would also love to see more home organization tips – like closets or cabinets – thanks!

    Posted by Rachel W. | September 29, 2009, 3:09 pm

  7. I love the self-imposed challenges and the write ups about those. I would like to see more.

    Posted by Jeannine | September 29, 2009, 3:36 pm

  8. I’d like to see more baking recipes. I like trying new recipes, but it’s great when you try it out for us and let us know what worked and what didn’t.

    Posted by Jennifer | September 29, 2009, 4:41 pm

  9. It would be great to see articles about entertaining on a budget. I do okay in the summer when I can fall back on BBQs and outdoor activites, but the winter months leave me stumped. I would also love to find some great indoor ideas for kids’ birthday parties without having to pay for an expensive venue.

    Posted by Amy | September 29, 2009, 5:06 pm

  10. I’d love to try Bonefish! I love your site, it’s great as is. I’d like to see you feature more “me time” stuff. None of us Mom’s take enough time for just us. Give ideas on how to treat ourselves special and how to relax and recharge.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  11. I would like to see more of your actual shopping trips so that I can see how and where you are saving on the things that we all have to buy. Bonefish Grill would be great since that hasn’t been on our affordable date list! Love your website and all the great tips!

    Posted by Carol | September 29, 2009, 6:49 pm

  12. I love what you do! As the mom of 3 kids under the age of 3, maybe some toddler-friendly recipes that are easy to cook (did I mention that I work full time out of the house?)

    Thanks!

    Posted by Holly F | September 29, 2009, 7:58 pm

  13. I love your Aldi Queen section, but would love to see the same type of recipe collection using items from my favorite frugal grocer Trader Joe’s!

  17. You’ve talked before about how you juggle everying (family, house, friends, working etc) and I know you schedule is getting busier and made some changes recently.

    I’d like to see more about how to juggle it all. Cuz you sure seem like you get it all done! I focus on my son/family, work, house stuff in that order. Friends are pretty much out of it unless I can catch up with them at work/lunch! But I miss my friends & my me time!

    Now that I have a 2nd baby on the way, I know it will only get crazier.

    Posted by Lori | September 30, 2009, 10:08 am

    Posted by angie | October 2, 2009, 8:28 am

  34. I would focus on organics for the kids and family and pets! The more we find out about chemicals in the things we use everyday, the more important it is to focus on staying away from them and learning about the alternatives!

    Posted by scott | October 2, 2009, 8:29 am

  60. My husband and I are young parents to twin 11 month boys and sometimes our lives seem out of the norm to most. So we would like to hear about your average parents to mutiples comparable to a stay at home mom going to school and a husband with a 12 hour work day 4 and five days a week.

    Posted by MarQuita | October 2, 2009, 8:45 pm

  61. I really enjoy MomAdvice, even though my “kids” are grown, and I’m the grandmother of two precious girls. I love to read MomAdvice so that when I come across something that would interest my daughter…I send it on to her!
    What I would love to see in your column occasionally is something pertaining to grandparents. It could be advice from the parenting point of view concerning how involved we should be…when it would be appreciated that we mind our own business, or how we can help out more without seeming like we are interfering. Also, we’d love to know a parent’s view on grandparents and spoiling of grandchildren.

    Posted by Kathy S | October 3, 2009, 5:33 am

  62. I’d love to see recipes for healthy frugal foods! It seems most places offer recipes in abundance, but very few that combine money-saving and nutrition (i.e. breakfast bakes are great and cheap, but not so good for you if one serving is pretty all of your daily caloric and sat-fat intake).

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Posted by Kacie Damme | October 3, 2009, 11:24 am

  63. I think you already do a great job! Maybe some fashion, beauty, or decorating advice for those who have practically no budget for such things? Thanks!

    Posted by Amy Sturgeon | October 3, 2009, 7:25 pm

  64. Love your site!
    I would love some tips on cheap birthday parties…I have 4 kids, and a HUGE family to feed/entertain so I could use some help in keeping the cost down :)

    Posted by Loretta | October 3, 2009, 8:01 pm

  65. I would love to see more ideas and suggestions on coupon organizers. What are suggestions that would work to achieve some organization with coupon.s

    Posted by LISA YOUNGER | October 3, 2009, 9:20 pm

  66. I would love to see more on spoiling the grandchildren on a budget. My grandchildren know that I will root out their wishes. It might not be exactly what they ask for but usually what they wanted.

    Posted by Maxie | October 4, 2009, 7:47 pm

  67. I would love to see more baking, with pictures would be great!

    Great site

    Posted by Christine A | October 4, 2009, 9:12 pm

  68. Amy, I need some serious advice on playroom organization and how to keep your kids rooms organized :)

    Posted by Amy | October 5, 2009, 10:18 am

  69. I absolutely LOOOOOVE Bonefish! The food is wonderful!!! My husband and I could sure use a “date-night” there! Well i am a NEW-B, this is my first time on this site and there seems tobe a lot of interesting topics and opportunities. As a mom of 2 (7 mos and 9yrs) and a step-mom of 2 (9 and 11) it’s always great to hear about creative and inexpensive ways to put the demands of famil life off to the side and just enjoy and embrace time alone, or with the kids and the family (no agenda, just good ole fashion fun). It’s encouraging to be allowed to just let down our hair for a while :D ..Don’t you think so ladies/moms!!!

    Great site, I am really enjoying it! (I’ll enjoy Bonefish even more :D !!!!)

    Posted by Arlene | October 5, 2009, 11:09 am

  70. Cheap kids party ideas and cheap health conscious recipes would be great but I find the site very helpful just as it is and love the tips! Bonefish would be great, too.

    Posted by Sherri | October 5, 2009, 11:59 am

  71. I love the recipes especially the ones that freeze well!

    Posted by Meredith | October 5, 2009, 8:21 pm

  72. Amy, you do such a great job of providing a variety of topics and frugal ideas it is hard to say what else I’d like to see here. It might be fun to have a MomAdvice party/gathering and post pictures and details here. I can only imagine what sort of bash could be put together using all of the tips and ideas already on your site.

    Posted by Ali | October 6, 2009, 6:05 am

  73. I wold love to see more fashion ideas on MomAdvice. I need ideas to look good at work – for cheap!

    Posted by Laura | October 6, 2009, 8:09 am

  74. I would love a series on empty nest. I have 2 teenagers and will start going thru this sooner than I like to realize.

    Posted by Crystal Allen | October 6, 2009, 8:43 am

  75. I’d like to see advice on time management. For instance how to balance time between blogging, work and family life.

    Posted by icefairy | October 6, 2009, 10:32 am

  76. My husband and I are having our 14th anniversary this month and going to BoneFish Grill would make our day. We are still a young couple with four kids ranging in ages 13, 11, 8, and 2 year old. We have struggled tremendiously from the get-go at age 18 when I first had my child. It is always so informative to read about the things I can get for my family at a great deal. With how the economy is going it helps to be frugal esp with four kids. I love how you incorporate it all with a hectic family life which all of us endure every day. Keep up the great work cuz you are doing a fabulous job!

    Posted by Maria | October 6, 2009, 10:53 am

  77. I truly love your site…the only thing that I can think of that I don’t normally see is advice on frugal fashion. Thanks for entering me!

    Posted by Jennifer Boyd | October 6, 2009, 11:19 am

  78. I just started reading momadvice so don’t have any suggestions yet.

    Posted by caroline | October 6, 2009, 12:00 pm

  79. Love your site Amy – more ideas on how to celebrate Holidays – you have such clever ones!

    Posted by Darlene | October 6, 2009, 12:43 pm

  80. I would like to see more beauty advice for busy moms!

    Posted by Heather | October 6, 2009, 12:48 pm

  81. I love this site as it is, but if I had to have one more thing…it would be more advice on raising, disciplining, and teaching toddlers. And I love Bonefish grill!
