Kids love fun food! Here is one that has been a big hit around here with all our boys. The Hot Dog Octopus!
I use turkey dogs just to lower the fat and give them something at least a little bit better to eat.
Step 1 - Make a slice about 3/4 of the length of the Hot Dog. Then roll it 90 degrees and make another slice. That makes the first 4 legs. Then just turn the dog and make a slice down the center of your previous cuts.
Step 2 - Your Octopus needs some eyes and a smile. Make two small slits for eyes, and one curved cut for the smile. They will open up when it cooks.
Step 3 - Place the Octopus' in boiling water and cook until their legs have curled up and the eyes and mouth have opened slightly.
Step 4 - Place on a bed of 'seaweed', I use fresh spinach for this. Serve with your kids favorite thing to dip hot dogs in. My boys love these and even eat the 'seaweed' with their octopus. haha.
