Green Eggs and Ham

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! To celebrate, it is, "National Read Across America Day!" Grab a good book and enjoy the day.

Only in Vernal can you find a large green dinosaur wearing a Dr. Seuss hat! Every few weeks the city workers dress this dinosaur up to celebrate whatever holiday is coming up. It is hilarious to see bunny ears on top of it's head or even a big sparkler hanging out of it's mouth. Sometimes I go out of my way to drive past, just to see what costume it is decorated with!

To celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday, we will be eating green eggs and ham. I am anticipating that my youngest will say, "I do not like green eggs and ham," but I know he will like the little Dr. Seuss hats.

Green Eggs and Ham Corn Bread Quiche

Make a package of corn bread muffins according to the directions. Line the muffin tin with paper liners and then fill them 1/4 of the way full with the corn bread mix. Bake at 350* for five minutes. While these are baking, combine 6 eggs, 1C. shredded cheddar cheese, 1C. chopped ham (or you can use crumbled bacon) and whatever else you like in your quiche. Since we are eating green eggs and ham today, add a little green food coloring to the mix. Pour this mixture over the top of the corn bread muffins in the tins and bake for about 8 minutes or until the eggs are set up.

Dr. Seuss Hats

Using a small cookie cutter, cut out round slices of monteray jack cheese and beef stick pieces that are about 1/8 inch thick.

Place a small dab of cream cheese on a round Ritz cracker, then put a slice of the beef stick on top of it, then put another dab of cream cheese and add a slice of monteray jack cheese. Alternate layers of beef stick, and the monteray jack cheese until you have a Dr. Seuss hat.
