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 eat there whenever we can. There would be nothing better than to have their wonderful syrup at home. We often have breakfast for supper at our house too!

Yum! I love blueberry syrup. I will absolutely be buying this!

I haven't got to try the IHOP at home syrup, and I did not know that they sold it. I am going to look for it the next time I am at the store.

I'm single, but I know my great-nephews are going to love the idea. Whenever I visit them in Alaska we always go to IHOP at least twice. When they hear they can get IHOP syrup for home use, it will make breakfast-for-dinner that much tastier.

March 28, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDonna Freedman

We're definitely going to look for the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Blueberry on our next trip to the store! We are huge blueberry lovers, so this is sure to be a hit in our home.

I'm never tried the IHOP syrups but I know my children would love that the fruit syrups have reals bits of fruit pieces in them and I like that they have a great variety of flavors.
