In honor of the State Fair I thought it would be fun to post some recipes on a stick. There’s something about eating food on a stick that just makes it more fun. However, I thoroughly enjoy eating with or without a stick. It’s all about the presentation. I’ve included some sweet and savory ideas. They would be great to serve at a party especially when seating is limited. You can eat these foods right off the stick without the need for utensils. We will be headed to the Missouri State Fair this weekend. I shared a few photos from our visit to the state fair last summer here.

Thanks for including me in this great round-up!!! What a fun idea – so many creative ideas – I love serving things on a stick! 😉
Love the caprese skewers! I’m happy to share your recipe and glad you don’t mind.
Oh no! It’s lunchtime and I am starving. I’ll have the caprese, anitpasto, ,melon and prosciutto and the strwberry shortcake for dessert. Yum!
Everything looks so good! Thanks for the yummy ideas.
Well, if I wasn’t hungry before, I am now after looking at all these delicious foods. All of them look fantastic, but I love the different types of fruit on a stick. I think this one would be my favorite.
OMG, all of these look so good but if I had to choose the best one, I would say the pineapple pork kebabs!!! That looks YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! These are a lot healthier than most things at the fair, and you can eat them year-round! 🙂
That is so true! I’m always amazed at the foods people come up with to fry!
Yum, yum and yum! How fun and a great idea for a party. Loved the antipasto one.
I love these ideas especially snakes on a stick

I have never been to a State Fair and have ALWAYS wanted to go!!! The recipes look delicious, particularly the french toast on a stick!! I never would have thought to put French Toast on a stick…that’s so smart!
It’s not one of those things we do every year, but I think you definitely need to experience one once in your lifetime. You’d be surprised at all the things you can fry!
There is so much cute/yum in this post! I think the snakes are my favorite, just because they are something especially different.
The donut hole breakfast skewers sound good!
All these recipes look so yummy! I am going to save this post to my recipes. I like the gluten free sandwiches. My daughter has a friend with Celiac’s disease and I like having something available for her to snack on during their play dates. All these recipes will be a huge hit at our family bbq’s. Thank you for sharing. I’m hungry now!
I hope you enjoy them. I’m going to try and offer more gluten free options in the future. It seems like there are a lot of people who are allergic to it.
I agree 100% – Eating food off of a stick is just plain FUN!
Thanks
Great ideas! I love serving things like this with no flatware required for cocktail parties. These food on a stick make it so easy for guests to nibble and socialize!
I agree Chloe 🙂
Both the caprese and the antipasto would be perfect for a Christmas party. When I see skewers, I automatically think of state fair food, but fun anytime! I was just at a party where they staged the skewers in a half of a cantaloupe -so cute.
