Here's a fun & simple recipe you can do with your kids. After all, what kid doesn't like mac & cheese and hot dogs?
Octopus & Shells (or Octopus & Seaweed)
8 hotdogs
1 pkg. either mac & cheese, shells & cheese, or Ramen noodles
green food coloring (unless you're using the shells & cheese)
Boil one large pot of water. Take each hot dog & quarter it lengthwise, only about halfway though. (Make sure it's all still attached!) You can even cut it into 8ths if you want. Drop each hotdog in the boiling water. (Kids may have fun watching the "legs" curl up while boiling.) While the hotdogs are cooking in the water, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. After the pasta is cooked & drained, add the food dye if it's plain mac & cheese or Ramen noodles. This makes the seaweed! If you made shells & cheese, you can still add the food dye if you want, or you can leave it just as shells. Either way! Then place a serving of pasta on each plate. Remove the hotdogs from the water & place on a paper towel to drain. Place a hotdog on each serving of pasta. You could even give each octopus a face with mustard or ketchup. Enjoy!
