But, truth be told, behind all my awesomeness (snort), I’ve got a pretty great man…who shares the potato chips, vacuums, and most importantly, whowastes spends a lot of time on the internet and finds me all kinds of fabulously silly food ideas. I mean, would you ever think to do this? (Hot dog haters, no comment!) Hello. I’m a mom. With two little kids. I couldn’t make these fast enough. Haley thought they looked like a jelly fish. Trevor thought they looked like a rocket ship. I thought they look like tentacles from an octopus. I’m thinking for Halloween next year, I’ll use orange pasta and dye the hot dogs black. (Well, that just sounds gross. And awesome.) When I asked what they tasted like, we all agreed…spaghetti and hot dogs. With a big pile of fun. Threaded Spaghetti Hot Dog Bites Serves 8 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 6 minutes Ingredients • 1 pound thin spaghetti, broken in half • 8 hot dogs, cut into 6 even pieces Directions Set a large pot of water to boil. Thread 5-7 spaghetti strands through each hot dog piece. Cook until pasta is al dente, about 6 minutes. Serve with red sauce, pesto sauce, Parmesan cheese, maybe melted cheese? That’s it! Only requirement is you must eat with a smile on your face!
