IHOP – Sponsored Post and Giveaway
Our mornings usually start out pretty lazily. Well, lazy for the kids and me. The husband wakes up bright and early at 5am and is out the door by 5:30. Poor guy. The kids and I tend to sleep in (one of the perks of homeschooling, you know) and just grab breakfast (usually cereal or oatmeal) before we start our school day.
The weekends, however, are a whole different matter.
We still keep things lazy, and we certainly don’t set any alarms for Saturday morning. Most Saturdays involve the kids torturing their daddy awake with wet-willies and violent piggy back rides. You’d think he’d just learn to get out of bed before they can attack, but those few minutes of being pummeled and jumped on always seem to prepare him for the 48 hours of horseplay ahead of him.
I, of course, stay far away from the flailing elbows and pointy knees. The kitchen is much safer for me.
The kids always ask for pancakes for breakfast on Saturday mornings, and most weekends I’m happy to oblige them. Keep an eye out for the recipe for our favorite chocolate pancakes!
When IHOP© recently asked me to share my breakfast routine with you, I knew that I had to talk about our Saturday morning pancakes.
Unfortunately, our town doesn’t have very many restaurants, and the nearest IHOP is about 30 minutes away. This means that Saturday morning pancakes are almost always made by the mama.
I was excited to hear about IHOP at Home® Syrup! If I’m too lazy to shower and drive to IHOP, I can still enjoy their syrup.
We’ve been loving their Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Strawberry syrup. It’s outrageously good, especially on chocolate pancakes. Who wouldn’t love the taste of chocolate covered strawberries for breakfast? And, no, I can’t say the name of that syrup without using a high pitched sing-song voice. It gets plenty of eye-rolls from the family.
Their Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Blueberry syrup is a fun way to jazz your pancakes up, too. My husband would probably have a stroke if I put actual fruit in his pancakes, but fruit in his syrup seems to be okay. He’s kind of weird.
Of course, their Original syrup will always be the winner, in my opinion. It’s sweet and sticky and pretty much makes my mornings complete. I like to dip my bacon or sausage in it, too. That’s not weird, right?

We haven’t tried the IHOPs home syrup but we love IHOP! 🙂
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.
I love IHOP pancakes and there syrup is delicious. I havent tried their at home syrup, but I go to IHOP with my friends enough on Saturday mornings to know that IHOP has the best syrup ever! 🙂
I’ve never tried it, but oh my gosh it looks delicious. We love Ihop!
We haven’t tried it yet but we love IHOP!

I’m like you…nearest Ihop is prob. 30-45 minutes away! We love our weekend pancake breakfasts! I make a homemade fluffy pancake that my mother made when we were little, and my kids loved them too! Love syrup, and you have to dip your bacon or sausage in that syrup!!! LOL!!!
We’ve never had their at-home syrup, but since we love the stuff at the restaurant, I’m pretty sure we’d love this, too! We don’t have pancakes often, but when we do, we love to get them at IHOP. Would be nice to have their syrup at home, too.

Haven’t tried the syrup yet but I like IHOP so much. I look forward ot their pumpkin pancakes every year!
I think this is great, especially for people that can’t make it to IHOP or don’t have one nearby! I love their blueberry syrup.
Love Strawberry syrup!! Can’t wait to get some!!
I had not yet seen the syrup in the store. Will have to go look for it now. Thanks for the tip and will watch for the chocolate pancake recipe.

We love regular IHOP syrup so it is most likely e would love the home syrup!
My family loves IHOP, their pancakes are the best! We haven’t tried IHOP at Home Syrups yet, but would definitely love to.

I just recently heard about IHOP’s syrup. I’ll have to check our small-town grocery and see if they carry it! Will definitely have to pick some up when we go to the city, though!
I don’t think I have had IHOP syrup in a long time. But personally, I like real maple syrup best! Fresh off the evaporator!

We haven’t tried it yet, but my picky eater daughter has recently joined the pancake bandwagon. So I can see some of that thar syrup in our future.
I love the idea of being able to access Ohio syrups at home. I’m curious to try them!
they are perfect for a oatmeal muffin, pancakes and waffles, with 6 kids this is awesome because everyone can pick what they want. a different flavor for each day. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
We havent tried it yet, but would love to!

Yum! I would love to try this!
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 in between our occasional restaurant visits. We’re definitely going to give it a try.

Oohhhh…The Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® Blueberry syrup will taste marvelous on my homemade Blueberry Pancakes, since we don’t have an IHOP close by.
Haven’t tried it yet… but I need to!
We’ve never tried the IHOP at Home syrup…but I’m sure we’d love it since the whole family loves IHOP!
We haven’t tried the IHOP at home syrup but I love all of the different syrup flavors that if offers

I haven’t tried the IHOP syrups, but I’m a sucker for fruit-flavored syrup. Usually that kind of syrup is relegated to restaurants only!
My favorite meal is breakfast (for dinner!), so this sounds really yummy!

So far we like it. We’ve been trying to watch our sugar intake so usually we don’t eat that much of it. Thanks for the giveaway!
