Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

Today is the Dr. Seuss' Birthday!!

My kids love Dr. Seuss Books!!

Our Favorite is Yertle the Turtle.

When I got my e-mail newsletter from Barbara Beery @ Kid's Cooking Shop, I knew that I would love to celebrate with my kids by cooking up Green Eggs and Ham Scramble and Pink Yink Ink Drink.

Both recipes were very easy to put together and I was so excited about the amount of fruits and veggies that were in them!! While I left out the pesto (I forgot it at the grocery store) I am thinking about trying out this recipe again...It would make a great late night supper or late Sunday Brunch.

We give these recipes

Green Eggs and Ham Scramble - 4 spoons.

Pink Yink Ink Drink - 5 spoons.

GREEN EGGS AND HAM SCRAMBLE

INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon butter

1/2 cup fresh spinach greens, washed and dried

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach, ham, and scallions to the skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine.
2. Cook for 2 minutes, and then pour the eggs over the spinach mixture. Allow the eggs to begin to set. Stir in pesto, salt, and pepper and cook until eggs are cooked evenly.
