Reagan has ALWAYS been a noodle/pasta freak - loves any kind of pasta... you can feed it to her plain, with some butter, with some cheese, with some garlic, with some sauce... the list is endless. And these, which we thought she wouldn't touch with a pole... she eats just as well! When she first asked for some, we were hesitant since they are a little spicy and covered in tomato sauce, but she chowed down. They were on daddy's plate but not hers and she said "Could I have some daddy noodles, pease?!" That was it! She was hooked and they had a new name! You know, I'm not sure we actually had a name for them to start with, so... daddy noodles they are!
