Kid Friendly Meals ... Octopus Hot dog Meal

More play with your food meals here! I made these fun hot dog octopus's a while back for the kids! This was another fun meal! Again I found several versions of this on blogs so I don't have one person to credit, if you were the creator of, let me know and I'll give you credit.

Ingredients:
Hot Dogs
Mustard
Sharp knife

Directions:
Cut hot dog in half length-wise, leaving about 1" intact at the end.

Cut each of the long sections in half (lengthwise), then in half again - these are the legs.
Boil until legs' curl up and hot dog is cooked through.

Add a little dots of mustard for they eyes.

Kid Friendly Meals: Ocoto-Dog (Spaghetti & Hot Dog Version)

I like to do fun kids meals every once in a while for kids. I saw this on FB and I think almost every blog has posted about it so I don't have one that I can find created this idea. IF you are the one that made this up please let me know and I'll credit you!

What you Need:

Dry Spaghetti

Hot Dogs

I use turkey dogs here and cut up each do into 4 to 5 pieces. I then took the dry spaghetti and put through a hot dog. I placed 4 to 5 pieces of spaghetti per hot dog. You then get your water boiling, drop the dogs/spaghetti into the boiling water. Drain and serve! You can serve with a marinara dipping sauce or just add a little butter and they are a hit. My boys were so amazed that I got the spaghetti through the dog, I told them I'm magical .. lol!
