A Dose of Dr. Seuss!

Of all days, I ended up having a lung biopsy scheduled for today...Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss's Birthday.  Karmanos called late Monday and said...it's Wednesday (I do get treated at a cancer hospital, but I should mention that, thankfully, I do not have cancer...just for the record).  Talk about no time to prepare.  So the Suess hats I talked about in my previous post obviously got nixed.  Maybe tomorrow if I'm feeling up to it.  I did, however,  manage to whip up some Green Eggs and Ham and toast with green butter for dinner.  And of course, we read the book Green Eggs and Ham.

The recipe for the Green Eggs and Ham is my own, and I'm happy to share.

non-stick cooking spray
Queso Blanco (shredded)--available at Costco...if you can't find it, I'm sure mozzarella would work well, too.
1 pkg. sliced Canadian bacon (cut up into small squares)
6 eggs
1/2 cup or so of milk (I don't measure when I cook)
Kelly or Leaf Green food coloring (I use Wilton brand that you would use to color cake frosting---less chemical preservatives, no funny taste, and believe it or not, it does not stain)
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Heat pan on medium and spray pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Add cheese and bacon. Stir frequently to brown.  In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, food coloring, and salt and pepper.  Whip with a wire whisk until well-mixed.  Add egg mixture to the cheese and bacon.  Stir frequently until eggs are cooked.  Serve immediately.  Makes 4 to 6 servings. 

For the toast and green butter, just add food coloring to your favorite butter or margarine, mix well, and spread on your toast.

My daughter loves them!  Hope that you enjoy them, too!
