Picky Eaters

My son Julius is extremely picky. He doesn't have an adventurous palate. So I'm constantly trying to create fun, quick and yummy foods for him to try...if I even get him to try it!!
Here's a quick one you can make that's lots of fun. Take hot dogs, slice them up, stick uncooked spaghetti in one end maybe half way through the center, drop the whole thing in boiling water for 10 minutes-then voila!! They look like little squid-like creatures!!!
