Magic Hot Dog Spaghetti!

One of the many fun recipes I've seen on Pinterest; this one I quickly passed on to my sister, Suzanne who has a daycare business.  Thought it would be something fun for the kids....and us adults to, to be honest.  It such a cute thing, who wouldn't love this?  So easy, it's sure to be repeeated.

She posted these pics on Facebook and said it was a huge hit with the kids.  They ate their Magic Hot Dogs with tater tots and ketchup and/or with Ranch dressing. 

The kids loved them as is but I think other ideas might be to go ahead and sauce them with spaghetti sauce, or cheese sauce (like from Mac & Cheese), or with a little butter and parmesan cheese.  But hey, maybe I'm overthinking it-- plain, with tater tots, ketchup, and ranch dressing works great too.

So glad the kids loved it as much as we hoped they would. I heard the teenagers in the house even got a kick out of it!

There is no recipe, exactly, it's as easy as it looks and even the kids can make it themselves: simply push as many dry spaghetti (long or short) strands through the chunked hot dogs (or whole dogs) as you'd like and then boil in plenty of water until the pasta is al dente. Drain, sauce or not, and serve.

These are for adults also. These, also, are indeed fun for the kids. We would be attracted to it dressing and style of serving to us. The sticks are cute and nicely done.
