“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.
