noodle dogs

Looking for something fun for the kids? Try some noodle dogs.

That's right - spaghetti growing out of hot dog pieces! How did we do that you ask? Here is what we started with...

Cook until the spaghetti is done and enjoy (the spaghetti in the middle of the hot dog will be slightly less tender). My kids like noodles with plain parmesan cheese so that's how we served them - but I imagine spaghetti sauce would be good, too.

Halloween Haystacks

These look super cute...and yummy too! I bet you could use the same idea for Thanksgiving cornucopia and use the pumpkins and candy corn.

Halloween Haystacks

If you can find them, chocolate sugar cookie cones make a nice base for the haystacks.

1 (5-oz.) box sugar cookie cones
1 (16-oz.) container chocolate frosting
1 (10- to 12.2-oz.) package shredded wheat,
crumbled
Assorted candy pumpkins
Ghost-shaped marshmallows

Spread cones with frosting; press crumbled shredded wheat into frosting. Place cone upside down, peak standing in the air, on plate or platter; surround with pumpkins and ghosts.
