New Year's

When I made this blog I thought I could manage it with the moments I had to myself. What was I thinking?? I don't even have a moment to go to the bathroom without my son banging on the door asking if I'm, "poopin'?". (I learned two days ago that this is the lesser of the two evils, seeing that the one time I get to pee in peace my son got into my nail polish bag, picked out the darkest color I own, and proceeded to paint his feet)
I'll try to be better at this seeing that my faithful following (aka, seven people, lol) have asked me to continue. My dear friend Beth, this is for you. If you can raise a energetic three year old boy and his newborn twin brothers and still find the time to do everything you do, I can manage a blog to give you recipe ideas. Love you!

Octopus & Seaweed

This is a recipe for Dakota's favorite lunch. Sounds gross, but I promise you'll laugh and you'll use it someday!




What you'll need:

One package Ramen noodles

One hot dog

green food coloring

mustard



How to make it:

Cut half the hot dog lengthwise into eight 'legs'. Cook Ramen Noodles with the hot dog and flavor packet according to package. Drain the noodles, stir in one drop of green food coloring and place hot dog on top. Add two eyes and a smile with mustard. Enjoy the reactions from your kids when they see it for the first time!
