IHOP at Home (And a Chance to Win a $100 Walmart Gift Card!) (CLOSED)
If you want to make Alexis squeal with delight, ask her if she wants breakfast for dinner. "YEEESSSSSSS!" she'll say. Always.
It's such a shame she's so hard to please.
As we pulled into our neighborhood a few nights ago, I figured it would be a perfect evening for an easy dinner. "Alexis, do you want pancakes or French toast for dinner?" I asked.
She grinned so big she couldn't let any words out. Finally, she stammered, "Pan...umm...FRENCH TOAST!" "PLEASE!" "...AND CAN I HAVE BLUEBERRY SYRUP?"
She practically vibrated all through the two blocks to our house as she waited for me to approve her syrup plans. Which, of course, I did.
A few weeks ago, IHOP sent me an amazing box filled with their new IHOP At Home® Syrups. There's Original, Lite, Sugar Free, Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Strawberry, and Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Blueberry. I bet you can't guess which one is Alexis' favorite.
She's not wrong about it being REALLY good. It most definitely is. There are little bits of real blueberries all throughout, so it tastes like there's a blueberry explosion going on when you put it in your mouth. DIVINE.
When we finally pulled into the driveway, the vibrating kid ran up to the kitchen and had the bread and eggs out on the counter before I could manage to take my coat off. Together we mixed up the eggs with a little milk, dipped the bread, and cooked up some really fantastic French toast.
Alexis was filled with giggles as we gathered around the table to enjoy dinner. Breakfast for dinner has that effect on her. She especially thought it was funny when she tried to hide the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Blueberry syrup under her chair so I couldn't have any.
It's a good thing I'm bigger than her. Ahem.
It's probably an even better thing that Mr. Husband hasn't joined in our fight over the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Blueberry syrup. He's a big fan of this one instead.
I'll grant him that the Lite is good, but gimme my fruit-flavored syrup, please!

My family loves IHOP and we love to cook at home too. The IHOP at Home Syrup is perfect when we wanted to stay in and cook together instead of dining out.

I love the idea of ihop syrups at home! We don't get there much but they do have great syrups!
I have never tried it, but I think we would like it. We haven’t been to an IHOP in years, but I remember them well from when I was a child and love their pancakes and syrup.
We have yet to try these syrups, but would love to!

Excited that they have regular, we are not a fan of flavored syrup!
I am going out and getting the strawberry... I love their strawberry syrup
These look very good. My kids love to eat the fruitty syrups. They always warm it first. I will be on the lookout for these. Blueberry always was and still is my favorite!!
OMG....my kids will flip for this! We have a tradition of having breakfast for dinner when my husband travels (which is more and more frequent these days) so this would be a fun way to spice up our breakfast for dinner nights!!
Personally not a pancake fan, but I love me some french toast. Any syrup goes well with that!
I will have to look for those....We do breakfast for dinner at least once a week - and I'm sure Madaline would love blueberry syrup for her pancakes.
Unfortunately, there is no IHOP near us within easy driving distance so we always stop at one when we're on the road. IHOP at Home Syrup sounds like the perfect addition to delicious family breakfasts (or dinners!) in between our occasional restaurant visits. We're definitely going to give it a try.

I'm a fan of the lite syrup. That way I can eat more pancakes.
Haven't tried it yet... but I need to!
I find pancakes really impossible to make, although I keep trying because DELICIOUS. And I hate maple syrup, so I'd be real excited about this IHOP stuff since it's not maple.

Can I win even though I wouldn't eat it? ;) I try to stick to 100% maple syrup 'cause I'm a snob like that. Chances are, Alex would like all of these flavored ones, though.
we cant wait to try it! Thanks for a super giveaway!

We haven't tried it yet. I'm really hoping the yummy fruity versions don't have high fructose corn syrup in them because I want some too! I have a very bad reaction to that too common ingredient.

We haven't yet tried this pack but as happy patrons of IHOP we know they'll be delicious and can't wait to give that blueberry variety a proper taste test! :)
Not sure if this went through -- just in case here is my tweet again thanks! http://twitter.com/#!/DeeGee13/status/177639783290503168
it sounds tasty
I would be happy to get ihop flavors in my home. I wouldn't have to drive unless I needed a fix for their omelets!

Theo could eat nothing but breakfast foods all day every day so we are hip to all the syrup varieties. Viva la blueberry!

I've never been to IHOP. Is that weird. I love blueberry flavored anything!
I am so excited about trying this syrup! My family loves pancakes and waffles, so we are definitely going to try ihop at home pancake syrup. Thanks for the great review!
sounds tasty, we haven't tried them yet though!

I think that IHOP having an at home product rocks and will motivate me to make pancakes.
we havent tried the at home syrup yet but the syrup has always been delicious at IHOP
