I love fair season! My family is just winding down with the Adams County Fair. From getting all the critters (including the hamster) ready for the 4-H livestock and small animal shows, 4-H contests, and entering our cooking and gardening projects – it has been a busy week!
While all the family activities are great, almost everyone is drawn to the fair for the FOOD! Funnel cakes, frozen lemonade, and of course, all the ooey-gooey foods-on-a stick. Food-on-a-stick is a popular fair item, especially at the State Fair, but is often deep-fried and has a reputation for being unhealthy. Here is a super simple and fun way to enjoy a healthy & refreshing snack on a stick!
Enjoy this summer kid-friendly recipe!
