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!

I totally want to win this syrup. Now I'm hungry for pancakes.
Have never tried the syrup at home--in fact I don't recall seeing it in the store. But I am sure it would go over very well.
We haven't had a chance to try IHOP at home syrup but we love IHOP and I know my son would kill for that strawberry syrup. I am officially hungry for IHOP since reading this post!

These syrups sound great, we haven’t tried any yet, but my family is always excited about syrup with our homemade pancakes and waffles! Yum!! I want to try the Lite one first. :-)
I haven't seen these syrups in the store yet but I'll be looking for them. The strawberry sounds wonderful.
Love this idea! Good stuff at home, too! Yum!

I usually use the butter pecan syrup when I go to IHOP, but I guess that isn't popular enough for their at home syrup line. I usually prefer real maple syrup at home but I don't buy it often since it is so expensive, so I might give the IHOP original or lite a try if I see it next time I buy syrup.

Yum. I wasn't aware of these syrups.
We like the flavor of the IHOP Strawberry syrup the most.
We haven't tried it but they sound yummy!! We want to try the blueberry!
I didn't know IHOP made Home Syrup, but I'm going to pick some up. Love all their flavors.

Everyone in my family loves IHOP so they'd go crazy to have the syrups at home!
We love the idea, I have always loved the butter pecan syrup. I like their strawberry too.

We're thrilled to have so many varieties to choose from, especially the Sugar Free since we're health conscious!
We love using the original, but the blueberry looks good.
I haven't been to Ihop in forever! Can't wait to try it.
