Probably not! Those corn dogs, Lemon Shake-ups, Lion's Paws, and of course the com on the cob, make the fair experience enjoyable, But the good news is that you can make all these fair foods at home when the fairs are over and the snow is blowing. Fair time is the one time we really think about fat and calories, but when you make these foods at home, you can make them healthier and the family will never know.

For example, the Lemon Shake-up has only 90 calories when made with sugar and hardly any when made with a non-caloric sweetener.

Then you can put it on the side of your barbecue grill so the water inside the husks will steam the corn. If you don't want to-put it on the grill, simply put it in the microwave after soaking in the husks and microwave for 3 minutes on high. When you take the husks off the Corn, you will get that great aroma you remember from the State Fair. And, by the way, the corn silks will peel right off and not stick to the corn because they are wet and hot. This is a great way to eat corn at a back yard barbecue.
