Under The Sea Ramen Lunch

This is probably one of my daughter's favorite meals. I saw the idea in a magazine years ago, and she asks to have it all the time. It's super easy and super quick, but not super healthy, so we have it as a rare treat. A day without school seemed like a great time to make it for her!

Under The Sea Ramen

1 packet any flavor ramen noodles
2 drops green or blue food coloring
1 can corn
2 hot dogs



Make ramen according to package directions, adding 2 drops of food coloring. (I usually add one green and 1 blue drop). Heat corn and hot dog as desired. To serve, put ramen on the plate and surround with corn in festively attractive manner (see poorly taken photo). Top with the hot dog, which has been cut to resemble an octopus. (Split 3/4 of hot dog into eighths. Or into fourths. That works too!) If you are feeling extra creative, use a toothpick to dab ketchup eyes onto the hot dog octopus. Serves 2.

Now you can see why I rarely include food pictures :)
