Green Eggs and Ham to Celebrate Dr. Seuss Birthday

I make green eggs and ham for breakfast to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and Read-Across-America Day by wearing pajamas, bringing in books, and reading. And to kick off that special event.

Last year, I tried to convince the boys that my (regular) eggs were, in fact, “green” because they were organic and free-range. They objected and said that I could, actually, put in green food-coloring just this one day a year and it would be fine. Riley reminded me about our discussion about moderation.

So, this year – without the slightest hesitation – I plunked a few drops of green food-coloring into the scrambled eggs and served them in a croissant with some bacon.

I can’t win! What a difference a year makes! I suppose I should be grateful. So, maybe this is the last year of the Mann-clan Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast.

Do you Like Green Eggs and Ham? These are made out of Gluten Free Pancakes and fruit, so even if you don’t like eggs/ham, you might like this breakfast! (Note: I usually don’t like using gluten free mixes because they are low in nutrition and fiber, but I make an exception for pancakes… plus this mix is made with flax seed, so the nutrition and fiber is much higher then other mixes.)

I did not make the pancakes the way the box said to, instead of the milk, sugar, oil and eggs I used Almond Milk, Mashed Banana, Applesauce, and Egg Beaters.

• Green Eggs (2 GF Banana Pancakes with Kiwi slices)
• Ham (Pig Shaped Strawberry Pancake leftover [frozen] from here) Browned too much in the toaster oven… oops.
• Strawberry Banana Pancake (Under the pig… I had extra strawberry slices and a little extra pancake batter so I mixed it together. There are more strawberries then batter, so it came out ugly and lumpy so I hid it under the pig… but it tasted yummy)
• 1 Strawberry (With Silly Pick)
• 3 Blackberries (With Silly Picks)

Two Breakfast Bentos with a Dr. Seuss Theme. First I made a Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast Bento.
