So today, we decided to spice up our usual mac 'n cheese lunch with a simple addition ---an octopus! (slice up the bottom 3/4 of a hot dog into 8 "legs" then cook. Then add on top of a "sea" of mac 'n cheese with a little corn or peas. Add a face to the octopus with a little mustard. Then we added a few goldfish crackers in to swim in the sea. Sounds like a complete meal with our sliced strawberries, huh?) And there you have it! A big hit by my lunch crowd with a request to have them again tomorrow. Uh, oh --- I may be making this regularly now. Funny how food tastes so much better to kids when their little imaginations are sparked!

What a great idea! It's always a good lunch when all of my kids will eat it!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea!! Judd and Max get on kicks where they want a hot dog for every meal. (Makes me sick) I will have to try the octopus for next time!
