This is the second time I’ve posted this recipe for Green Eggs from Elana’s Pantry, but with St. Patrick’s Day being tomorrow, it could be a fun way to get your green on with the kids. It’s one one of those things that will make them stare in horror, but after they’ve tasted it, they will surely be delighted. It’s also a great way to get the kids to enjoy something as healthy as kale — as any parent knows, that’s not always an easy task.
On a much more serious note about St. Patrick’s Day and the history of the Irish people, I’ve learned some fascinating things about the potato famine and the subsequent migration to North America and beyond. Read this article from the Zinn Education Project via the Huffington Post, it’s so different than anything that I had ever known before — but not surprising.
When the boys were little we used to have green eggs for breakfast everyday. They grew out of that phase a while ago and now I think this Green Eggs recipe is perfect for St. Patrick’s day.
Now when I make these, I serve them with chicken breakfast links and my Dark Rye Bread (as shown above). Green eggs are a colorful, fun, super healthy, hearty way to get in green veggies at the start of your day. You can also make these yummy gluten free, dairy free eggs with spinach…
