Every year about this time the International House of Pancakes, IHOP, offers their customers free pancakes. This year IHOP will offer a free short stack of pancakes to any customer who walks in the door! All you have to do is get there between 7am and 10pm on March, 1, 2011 which is National Pancake Day!
In exchange for a free short stack of pancakes on National Pancake Day IHOP asks that you make any type of donation to the charity being promoted by the restaurant, but of course a donation is not required.
Below is the official IHOP statement and information directly from the website describing the National Pancake Day Celebration.
“Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised more than $5.35 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. While IHOP’s National Pancake Day typically takes place on Shrove Tuesday, this year, the company will host its free pancake event one week earlier on Tuesday, March 1 to build buzz and excitement prior to Shrove Tuesday. With your help, we hope to raise $2.3 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities!
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday.”
Enjoy your free Pancakes!

The Spiced Pumpkin Pecan Ice Cream is one you cannot miss! For a limited time we found this in our local surrounding stores, we bought it every chance we got! BUt after the supply was gone so was our enjoyment… This Blue Bell ice cream flavor is very much like having a slice of pumpkin pie with a nice crunch! Not a single flavor could be missed in this perfectly mixed ice cream… the pumpkin, the spices, the caramel, and of course the pralines. Below is the official Blue Bell press release on Spiced Pumpkin Pecan Ice Cream and how it all came together…
BRENHAM – The newest creation from Blue Bell is not your basic pumpkin ice cream. Spiced Pumpkin Pecan Ice Cream is sweetened and spiced to perfection. It is a delightful spiced pumpkin ice cream combined with tasty sugar-coated pecans and a rich cinnamon-honey-praline sauce.
“This is a recipe we have been working on for some time,” said Carl Breed, director of marketing for Blue Bell. “You have your basic pumpkin ice cream that is popular during the fall months, but we wanted to create a flavor that was much more than simply pumpkin. We tried several different combinations of added ingredients until we found one we could not stop sampling.”
The sugar-coated pecans and cinnamon-honey-praline sauce are what set this pumpkin based ice cream apart from all the rest. “The pecans and sauce are what really enhance the flavor of this ice cream,” Breed added. “The spiced pumpkin ice cream is very similar to what a pumpkin pie tastes like, add in the sweetness from the pecans and sauce and you have something spectacular.”
Spiced Pumpkin Pecan Ice Cream will debut in stores in November and is only available while supplies last.
