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.
