Green Eggs and Ham

“I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!”

We all know them and grew up with them…Dr. Seuss Books are classic children’s books that in my son’s opinion never get old. 😉 Green Eggs and Ham is no exception to that statement.  Arik loves listening to this story and when I told him we were going to actually eat some green eggs and ham for breakfast he almost lost it.  He ended up asking for thirds, so this recipe has now become a regular one on our weekends

Even if your kids don’t know this story, green eggs are always fun to eat and a great way to get some spinach into their bellies! Enjoy and have fun reading with your kids!
