Tomorrow is free pancake day at IHOP. Between the hours of 7am and 10pm you can score yourself a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes. Make sure to throw down a few dollars though, all proceeds go to help the Children's Miracle Network.

After you get your free pancakes, go to your nearest Jack in the Box and pick up one of their new Grilled Sandwiches. To promote the newest addition to the menu, they will give you one with the purchase of a large drink. Details here.

Warm, sunny days are right around the corner, but until then whip up this Bermuda Rum Swizzle to bright your day.
