State Fair Giant Marshmallow Trix Treats

Our last giant marshmallow treat was such a hit I decided to make another one. This time, Peyton and I headed to the grocery store and looked for a fun cereal to use. And we came home with........Trix Trolls World Tour with Marshmallows cereal! Trolls World Tour was a big deal in our home when it came out.

State Fair Peach Lemonade

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 ...

State Fair Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge

Fudge is a treat I usually only indulge in a couple of times of the year. The Minnesota State Fair is one of those times. I'll buy a sample box with 5 different flavors and savors it for a few weeks. But with no Minnesota State Fair this year, only a drive-thru fair that does not include fudge and very limited travel for Peyton and myself we have not bought any fudge! So this year, I'm making some! This fudge is not as dense as most fudge I usually buy, it's a lighter fudge, very creamy. If ...

State Fair Pork Chops on a Stick

About 3 years ago, Peyton discovered Peterson's Pork Chops on a Stick at the Minnesota State Fair. I had never tried them before because I just thought, it's a pork chop, I can eat that any time. But what makes these pork chops so special is the season and the grilling. They are juicy and full of flavor. And once you've taken a nibble you'll want your own.  Without the Minnesota State Fair this year Peyton was really bummed she wasn't going to get her fill of Peterson's Pork Chops on a Stick. ...
