State Fair Cream Cheese Wontons
While this food is not a traditional fair food it is inspired by our one and only Lee-Ann Chins. A Minnesota company that has had a booth at the Minnesota State Fair in the Food building. Plus, these cream cheese wontons are a staple for me. I LOVE them! I know throughout the United States you can find different variations in the filling of a wonton but for me it's all about simplicity. You don't need a ton of stuff in there, just cream cheese. While these are a simple dish to make at home ...

Valentine’s Candy Skewers
Peyton loves it when I buy her those long skewers filled with candy and marshmallows. She goes crazy for them! But I always get a little disappointed in them because the candies can be smooshed or dried out. So it dawned on me, this is something we could make at home. We could make our own Valentine's Candy Skewers! And we could put all our favorite candies on them so no more candies that we hate! It's a win-win. Plus, they are fun to make. These would also be great for birthday parties too. ...
