If you're looking for a fun meal for your kids, this is the right place for you! Aren't these adorable? I originally found this recipe in an old Quick Cooking (now Simple & Delicious) magazine and knew my kids would love it. Sophie and Chase picked ramen noodles and chicken nuggets for their lunch one day last week. Sophie kept complaining because she wanted the ramen noodles with the green stuff on them. I couldn't figure out what she was talking about. Then I remembered this recipe. The last time I made it Chase was still eating baby food (yes, it's been a while), so he didn't remember them and thought they were the coolest. He had fun biting the head off the octopus. We had a meal full of grins and giggles!OCTOPUS AND SEAWEED
