~State Fair "Fare"~
This week's theme was "no theme" so I decided to go the "State Fair" route, which will be in town quite soon.What we ate:
Mini Corn Dogs, Cotton Candy Flavored Dip'n Dots, Lemonade, "Blue Ribbon Veggies"
Carmel Apple Bites, and Funnel Cake
Carmel Apple Bites, and Funnel Cake
No, it was not the healthiest of meals--but it WAS fun. ;o) The Dip'n Dots or "ice cream balls" as Jackson liked to call them were a big hit--the kids have never had them before (W.al-M.art is where I bought these) and the funnel cake turned out okay. I've never made it, and honestly I'm not sure if I've actually eaten one. I always go for the carmel apples when I'm picking a treat. But I'm including a link for the recipe in case anyone is interested--or if you have a recipe for funnel cake that is awesome, let me know. I can tell you this--don't use canola oil for frying, it won't work as well as vegetable oil (unless you like the black-on-the-outside-uncooked-on-the-inside taste). ;o) Fortunately for me it is a mistake I made in the past, so everything was smooth sailing for the frying session today. They left the table with full tummies, and the blue ribbons stuck to their shirts for being some "first place kids." ;o)

Wow, what an awesome theme! Our state fair starts soon... I might have to whip up my own version of State Fair Fare! :D
Love this, super cute! I'm very impressed with your adorable funnel cakes--way to go! Thanks for the pretty pic
YUM! Fair food! I'm completely stealing that idea so I can make extras for me.
What a fun theme and muffin tin lunch...I bet everyone really enjoyed it. Funnel cakes sound so good to me!!
What a super fun theme! And funnel cakes? Yum yum!
State Fair is a FUN IDEA! It makes the food much more delicious to have a creative thing.
GREAT idea. Love the theme, and I'm all over the funnel cakes!
Your theme idea is so fun!
LOVE the dippin' dots!!
Fabulous idea! Love the blue ribbon. :)
very cute theme! ummmmmm...I want funnel cakes now!
Blue ribbon for your creativity and work! Love how you rename the basic veggies to make them seem a bit more fun! :)
I did muffin tin Monday but was WAY more basic.....like what we usually eat for lunch just served in muffin tins. Which, for some reason made it seem more exciting and got lots of smiles and positive comments.
LOVE the fair theme! We never eat fair food so this would be fun to do at home (homemade!). Great job!
I love this idea, Janna. Do you come up with your themes yourself? Oh, and I had to go to Omaha to get the supplies (there's a teacher's store at 170 & Harrison behind Runza)
FUN!! It's been awhile since we did a muffin tin lunch. Looks like I have a great idea now!
