I know, I know....the post title seems ridiculous. After all, isn't the fair for Chicken Charlie's Fried Twinkies and Fried Koolaid?
But Foodie Mom is trying to shed some of her foodie pounds, so it's not fried season for me. Plus I've gone to the fair 5 times already (2x with Super Toddler and 3x for concerts). Here are some of my favorite foods at the fair that just happen to be healthy and delicious.
--Roxy: Baked Falafel Burger: My perennial fair favorite. Really tasty (ask for it baked instead of fried).
--Baked sweet potato next to the corn shack. They try to get you to buy toppings, but it doesn't need any. Tastes yummy like jasmine just baked. A real treat!
--Palapa Taco's Healthy Veg Burrito: Herbal tortilla, veg beans, lots of veggies and soy cheese. Sounds crazy to eat at the fair and kind of questionable, but was super yummy, high fiber, low fat, etc. They also have a spinach wrap.
--Grilled corn next to the sweet potatos (near O'Brien Gate). Always good.
--I did sneak some kettle corn before one of the shows too.
The cheese pizza that the boys have been getting is gross wherever they get it from, and my friend's BBQ today was so bad (soggy fries, etc.) that she returned it. The chili fries she got from Fresh Friez afterward were much better.
There is healthy yummy food to be had at the fair if you look!
ST loves him some rides, so we'll probably hit the fair one more time before it closes.
