Choosing Simplicity, More than Survival!!

Our local county fair opens today!! Our children participate in 4-H and we look forward to the fair all year. If you have never had "Fair Food" you are missing out on an American treat! Mouth watering Pulled BBQ Pork, Corn on the Cob, Lemon Shake-Ups and the irresistible Elephant Ear (or funnel cake). Oh, I am getting hungry just thinking about it! However, the price tag can be a little steep to feed the whole family. Simple Family Supper to the rescue!!! You can bless your family with a "Fair Food" meal right at home for a fraction of the cost. Enjoy this yummy meal at home and then head out for your local county fair. I like to make this meal in the middle of winter as a way to bring some summer to the short winter days.
Enjoy these recipes! Please feel free to forward this message on to your friends and family to enjoy. It is my desire to keep supper simple and empower you to bring the family together. This meal is great served with corn on the cob! Happy Fair Week! www.simplefamilysupper.com
