Iowa State Fair


It is time for the Iowa State Fair again!  I love going to this fair!  It has one of the best and largest food departments.  While there I will be conducting two Cooking Seminars and I will also be judging six Cooking Contests.

One of my favorite things to do at the fair it to try all the new and strange food items that the vendors will be selling.  I will be posting pictures from the fair on the My Kind of Cooking  Facebook page.  You know you want to see the Double Bacon Corn Dog and the Deep Fried Pickle "Dawgs" pictures!

Outside of all the fun and food, my main reason for attending the Iowa State Fair is to promote and sale my new cookbook, the Ultimate Busy Woman's Cookbook.


If you are going to the Iowa State Fair, please stop by and say Hi to my Mom and I at the Elwell Family Food Building

  3. I don't create many comments, but after looking at a few of the responses on "Iowa State Fair". I do have some questions for you if it's okay.
    Is it simply me or does it look like like some
    of the responses come across like they are left by brain dead individuals?
    :-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you post a list of the complete urls of all your social community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
