My youngest daughter is a PICKY eater, like many of you I have to get creative when it comes to getting her to eat her food.  It’s funny the way it works, normally she wouldn’t say spaghetti is yucky, but when you make it purple and fun like this she is all about it. She tells me that the purple noodles are much better than the white ones, lol.  Hey, whatever it takes right.  Plus, I have to admit Halloween recipes are by far my favorite because you can have so much fun creating them and just about everything goes.

I can’t speak for everyone but I can tell you how I feel about fun food like this, it does make things taste better and if there is anyway to make spaghetti better it’s with a fun recipe! This recipe doesn’t make a mess, otherwise, you could always take advantage of the best robot mops.
