“Would you, could you, in a box? Would you, could you, with a fox?”
Dr. Seuss’ birthday is tomorrow, March 2. Some family friends recently shared with me their tradition of eating green eggs and ham on his birthday. What a fun and creative way to honor an author that has influenced us all, young and old alike, with his classic books.
Green eggs are easy to make. Simply add a few drops of green food coloring to your scrambled egg mixture.

OK we are totally going to do this tomorrow. Thanks for the idea. Mallory will love it.
Perfect timing on this recipe with Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week! The girls love this one.
We happened to have a small jar of kale/coconut (cooked and blended until creamy) left over from the evening before. I woke up on St.Patty’s Day and thought, “why not? Green Eggs . . .” didn’t have any ham. I mixed in a small amount of the greens in before scrambling the eggs and Voila! Vibrant green eggs for breakfast! And a good way to get the veggies in!
Teresa, thanks for sharing this great idea!
