Happy Pancake Day!

So today is Pancake Day,

{also known as Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras}

In most traditions,

the day is known for eating pancakes

prior to the beginning of Lent

{you know..to use up all your butter, eggs and milk...}

Since Lent is not part of my religion,

this would typically pass me by...

But, 

I love that IHOP celebrates by giving away 

FREE Pancakes!

So...

if you are so inclined,

this year, IHOP is celebrating

one week late.

NEXT Tuesday

head to your local IHOP for some free pancakes!

or...if you're like me,

and dieting?

Just enjoy that your friends are enjoying pancakes!
