I was browsing Pintrest the other day and ran across a photo that intrigued me. So I had to look closer...and closer and closer...until I realized what I saw.
And it just made me smile!
What a perfect lunch for my kids!
So off I went to make Hot Dog Pasta for my kids for lunch!
First I cut the hot dogs into smaller pieces and threaded uncooked pasta through the middle of the hot dogs.
Next I put the hot dog pasta into a pot of boiling water and cooked it until the pasta was cooked to taste.
Then I just served it up in a bowl!
The kids LOVED it! What a fun lunch!
I tried one of two myself. It was tasty, but I wasn't sure it I wanted to dip it in ketchup or put marinara sauce on it! I suppose I could have done either, but the kids ate it all up before I had a chance to decide!
What a fun and unique summer lunch for the kids!
What do you typically make for lunch for your kids?

My kids and I just did this last week, except we left the pasta sticking out one side so it ended up being more like a squid kind of thing. They LOVED it and even my two year-old was able to do it (once I had cut up the hot dog) even if she did pack hers with about 20 pieces of pasta. It was so much fun and they keep asking to do it again.
