Four Foods on Friday #53

  • Nov. 1st, 2008 at 12:36 AM

Wanted to get this in before it's too late. But there will be Halloween pictures sometime over the weekend! It was a fun day, although a little bittersweet because it was Becca's last school Halloween party (they don't have them in the middle and high schools). And it was probably Lauren's last time trick-or-treating.

This week's questions:

#1. What kind of pretzels are your favorite?

Rold Gold mini pretzels (perfectly salty!).

#2. What’s your favorite way to eat pancakes?

Lots of butter and syrup. I don't go to IHOP very often because they're ridiculously expensive for what you get, but they have a butter pecan syrup on the table that's TO DIE FOR.

#3. Do you make garlic bread from scratch or buy frozen?

Both. I really like the soft garlic breadsticks made by New York. Sometimes I will make my own using rolls that are just a little past their prime (like sub rolls). I just spread them with butter and sprinkle garlic powder generously, then bake them until golden and crispy. This is also great for sandwiches.

#4. Share a recipe that calls for mozzarella cheese.

I'm going to cheat and link to my post on Spaghetti Salad.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

I usually only use pure maple syrup but I TOTALLY have a weakness for IHOP's butter pecan syrup. *high five*

I've thought about asking if I could buy some or get the recipe when I'm there, but do I really need that right within reach 24 hours a day?

Oh man, butter pecan syrup?!?! I might have to make the drive 120 miles away for that! (Our nearest IHOP) We buy the New York garlic bread too. Yum

I swear, it's like liquid crack on your pancakes.

It's really good, and perfect to make ahead of time.

Ack, we don't have IHOP but I can imagine that butter pecan syrup must be heavenly.

No IHOP? I'm sorry! We don't go often, because they're pretty expensive for flour, eggs and milk, but I'm glad it's there just in case.

For some reason I think the IHOP pancakes are sweeter than normal and I will only order there chocolate chip pancakes when I'm in the mood for something like that and I eat them plain as well with a little whip cream lol

I've never been one for whipped cream on my pancakes - or really, on anything else.

I do love chocolate chip pancakes, though!

That Spaghetti Salad looks delicious. You always have unique recipes. I'd really love to try that sometime. :)

Thanks! You should try it - it's even better the next day, and my daughter loves the leftovers in her lunchbox.

I tried to steal the butter pecan syrup once but got caught.

And our IHOP is super cheap. You can get an entire breakfast plate for under $5!

I was just shocked when just my daughter and I went for breakfast one morning, and it cost me almost $25! And we didn't order that much.

I do like to go on free pancakes day, though.

The brand new iHops near us is soooo dirty! I didn't like being charged so much for coffee. http://www.chatbugkaren.com/windingthreads/2008/10/31/four-foods-on-friday-53/

I will NOT eat at a dirty restaurant! And how can a brand new one be dirty?

My mouth is watering just reading about that butter pecan syrup! :)
Do you ever get IHop coupons? They put out good coupons from time to time.

Where do you find IHOP coupons? I would definitely use those!
