Green Eggs and Ham for St. Patrick’s Day
It never gets old. I make Green Eggs and (pink) Ham every year for St. Patrick’s day and it never gets old. I should make this for Dr. Suess’ Birthday at the beginning of the month, but I always forget. Every year. So St. Patty’s it is!
It’s a bit tricky and unsettling to use food coloring to make eggs and ham look green, so I do two things: First, I leave the ham alone. We just leave it pink. Sorry, Sam-I-Am, but we do not like green ham! Second, I use spinach to make the eggs green instead of food coloring. This is a really simple recipe, but I was so excited when I discovered it, so maybe you will be too. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
