St. Patrick's Day is coming up on March 17th. Here's an idea to try with your kiddos- green eggs and ham. I've been on a health kick trying to sneak a fruit or veggie into every meal. Recently, I was making scrambled eggs and the thought popped into my head to add some mashed avocado to the eggs. My kids love avocados, so I thought they'd probably eat the eggs. It turned out to be a success, although the eggs needed some spices since the avocado is sort of bland. (Maybe pepper, salt, garlic, or onion powder?) I'm certain that part of their willingness to try the eggs was that we'd been listening to an audio version of the Green Eggs and Ham book by Dr. Seuss not long before. Once again, we brought a favorite book to life and had a fun time trying something new.

I never thought about mixing avocado in with eggs to make them green! My babes aren't big avocado fans (Isaac cried upon eating it), but I am going to borrow this idea and use spinach!
ReplyDeleteSo, how did the spinach work out? Did you use fresh or frozen??
ReplyDeleteI used fresh, and they loved it!!
ReplyDeleteGood job incorporating a veggie into breakfast!! Glad it worked out for your little guys. :D
