Bob Evans features “Farmhouse Deals”- win yours here!
We are BIG fans of Bob Evans Restaurants at this house- the only bummer is, that there is no restaurant that is nearby! Good thing that we travel so much, or we would never get to stop in at one of our favorite places. Priced right for a family with a budget, you won’t ever walk away hungry (or broke, either!) As soon as you walk in, a friendly host will offer your children kids menu packages with crayons and a silly straw- they even get to choose the color 🙂 My son always take about a zillion years deliberating, LOL. He is the biggest Bob Evans fan of all of us- as you know, he is obsessed with all things farm and Amish! The Bob Evans we eat at most is located near one of our favorite places- Lancaster, PA (home of quite a few farms and Amish, so my son is in bliss!) He always get the same meal- the Lil’ Farmers Breakfast, which includes 1 egg, bacon or sausage, pancakes, home fries- everything a little farmer needs! 🙂
Once this past summer, while we were in Bowling Green Kentucky at the Baymont Inn, my son saw to his delight that it shared a parking lot with a Bob Evans. It was the day after his birthday- can I tell you how happy he was (and how many times we ended up eating there? LOL). At one point, at roughly 9 PM (and you all know his bedtime is always 7:30, and I don’t mess with that!) he was still awake in his bed, begging me to take him back to Bob Evans to get him a Little Farmers Breakfast. Worn down and tired, I finally gave in. It was almost closing time, and we had already had dinner there, so the waitress looked at me like I had 9 heads when I ordered a “to go” Little Farmers Breakfast, LOL. What is a mommy to do?
Bob Evans now has these great “Farmhouse Deals“- featuring 10 different meals for $6 each. Great price, right? You can’t even get fast food for that price. These ten meals are-
Bob Evans Sausage Gravy breakfast
Two Eggs, sausage, or bacon, and 2 biscuits,
Sausage and Biscuit Bowl
Spinach, Bacon, and tomato Biscuit Bowl
Boarder Scramble Biscuit Bowl
Homemade Meatloaf Knife and fork Sandwich
Slow Roasted Turkey knife and fork Sandwich
Chicken and Noodles Deep Dish Dinner
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
I LOVE Bob Evans biscuits. We don’t get a whole lot of biscuits in the area I am from, so I look forward to them when we travel. Bob Evans also has great family style meals you can pickup and bring home for the family, perfect for those nights you don’t feel like cooking, or for holidays.
If you are in an area where there is a Bob Evans, I totally suggest you pop in and try these great Farmhouse Deals- for only $6, you really can’t go wrong. Where else can you get a meal for that price? A REAL meal, not a greasy drive-thru mess. And if you are like me, and do not have a Bob Evans near you (Come on Bob! Get over here!) that’s OK- you can do like me, and stop by next time you are traveling. Family friendly setting, priced right for the average brood that wants to eat out and still pay the mortgage (LOL) and they won’t make you wait long, either- thus making sure your kid(s) won’t turn into a wiggely, whiney mess 🙂
Stop on by the next time you are in town!
One of you will have the chance to try out these new meals for free- you can win here!
First Prize: Bob Evans gift card (ARV $25).
Second Prizes (5): Meal coupon.

King Arthur Flour Brings FREE Traveling Baking Demos to Wisconsin, Nevada, California and Kentuck
Norwich, Vermont – America’s oldest flour company will share tips and tricks this fall for easy home baking, from savory scones to festive pies, at FREE baking demonstrations in Wisconsin, Nevada, California and Kentucky.
With 220 years of experience behind them, the expert bakers at King Arthur Flour have plenty of advice – the one ingredient home bakers can’t pull out of their pantries – to offer in their free demos, Perfect Pies & Savory Scones, and Baking with Yeast & Whole Grains.
In Perfect Pies & Savory Scones, attendees learn how to achieve the perfectly flaky pie crust, prepare delicious fillings, and make savory scones. Baking with Yeast & Whole Grains covers a basic yeast dough recipe, tips for adding healthy whole wheat, and simple shaping techniques. Each two-hour demo includes free recipes, coupons, and time to “talk baking” with the talented King Arthur Flour staff – plus a chance to win some great baking-related door prizes!
Demos will be held this autumn as follows:
October 5-8
Wisconsin

October 19-23
Nevada & California

November 10-12
Kentucky

Brookfield Brookfield Suites Hotel |
Henderson, NV Wildhorse Golf Club |
Florence Hilton Cincinnati Airport |

The King Arthur Flour demos are a unique blend of baking science, tried and true tips and culinary theater; traveling baking instructors explain and entertain, inform and inspire. Attendees walk away with just enough baking science to understand how ingredients function in a recipe and why certain techniques are important to successful baking, while sharing the joy and tradition of baking at home.
“We know from customers that many otherwise confident people suffer from ‘baking anxiety,’” says National Outreach Program Manager Julie Christopher, “especially when it comes to pie crusts and baking with yeast. With a little baking knowledge, you can overcome your fear and experience the joy of baking and eating your own breads, pies and more.” King Arthur Flour has helped thousands of bakers around the country to do just that through its traveling baking demos and other educational programs.
King Arthur Flour is proud to work with partners Red Star Yeast, Cabot Creamery Cooperative, and Dansko in presenting these demos around the nation and keeping them free for participants. For more information about these King Arthur Flour partners, visit redstaryeast.com, cabotcheese.coop, and dansko.com.
With more than one million bakers having participated in its workshops, seminars and classes, King Arthur Flour is the largest educator of home bakers in the world. The company, employee-owned since 1996, conducts fall and winter traveling baking demo tours reaching thousands of bakers each year; brings demonstrations to fourth- through seventh-grade students nationwide through its Life Skills Bread Baking Program®; offers a variety of classes at its Baking Education Center in Norwich, Vt.; and publishes The Baking Sheet, an award-winning bi-monthly newsletter of recipes and baking information.

An Act of Kindness Can Help Create Bully Free Schools
This information was provided to me by the sponsor- I have never personally used these products, but thought that you all may like to hear about it.
“Over the years, school districts have made attempts to implement acts of kindness programs and teach kindness lessons in an effort to alleviate the problem of bullying in schools. Bullying is a long-standing, all too common form of intimidation and stress for children. The constant alarm and anxiety felt can make it difficult for targeted children to focus or engage in a classroom, which can cause learning to become arduous and frustrating.
Headed out to #TimetoPlay today! Can’t wait!
Today I will be hanging out at the Time To Play showcase in NYC, so I will be back later- I can’t wait to give you updates, photos, and my thoughts 🙂
I will be tweeting from the event, so make sure you follow for live updates and pictures! They will also announce their top picks for the holidays at 10 AM EST, so I will be tweeting them to you, and I will post as soon as I get home. Have a great day, bloggy buddies!
