There is a whole lot of celebrating going on in North America lately! We just celebrated Canada Day with a sunny three day long weekend here in Canada. And I know many of you are celebrating the Fourth of July today! So, with summer in full swing and another weekend upon us, I thought this would be a good time to share a fun idea for roasting up Spider Dogs. Have you heard of these before?! They are SO much fun to make. And here I thought kids couldn’t get any more excited about eating hot dogs! I was wrong!
These are really so simple. Just cut the ends of your hotdog lengthwise, creating four sections, which will become the “spider legs”. Be sure to leave at least a 1/2″ to 1″ section in the middle uncut so that you can stick in your roasting tool of choice. You’ll want to use All Beef wieners for this I’ve been told, in order to get the good curling action, but I haven’t actually tested out other types to see if they work. I do know that these hot dogs fit a lot better in hamburger buns than hot dog buns.
I hope you’re enjoying your summers so far! The sunshine and hot temperatures in Vancouver have been amazing lately! The local pools and beaches will be crowded this weekend! Happy Friday everyone!

How fun! I was curious about the buns, figuring maybe you just pulled off the” legs” and dipped them in ketchup, but hamburger buns make much more sense. 😉 Have a great weekend!
I know some young men that would think these are hilarious. They are, but I may make an appearance in my nightmare as well. 😉 Very cute idea Rosa. Great to see you the other night.
These are so fun! My nephew would love these.
this looks like so much fun! i bet my little man would LOVE this! we’re gonna try it next time we go camping! oxo

UM and how does one eat those?? Without a bun I guess. Cool idea!
We had these for dinner Canada Day – my daughter is a spider dog expert! Fun!
Oh my my my …… love. I often wonder what great ideas you would have if you threw a girl into the mix of your men. When I come over can I have a spider? :-)))) Have a lovely weekend, Rosa and I can’t wait to spend another awesome time with you!!!
