on the menu for dinner tonight :
green eggs and ham.
and did jaden have any clue it was chuck full of pure spinach? not a clue! he not only ate it willingly but turned down seconds on ham, asking for MORE eggs. i wasn't actually here to witness it for myself. micah was the master chef tonight while i went grocery shopping to collect the rest of the stuff i'll need for some more "deceptive" cooking. micah said it tasted just like a spinach omelet, maybe better. if you know beckam, it's no surprise that he too LOVED it! he's the kid who eats fresh spinach leaves on his tuna fish/pickle sandwiches.
why didn't i think of this before? here's what he did: steam the spinach (3 handfuls), stick it in the blender with 5 egss, a dash of salt and bit of melted butter. oh and he did add some green food coloring just so he could say that's what made them green. just like the green, red or blue milk they often request for dinner. thank you for writing the book jessica. oh and the ham. have you had the kirkland smoked ham steaks from costco? so tasty. the kids especially love it. plain, with eggs, in mac n' cheese, etc.
jaden went through the book with me and selected a few other dinner choices for the week. he's so excited for tomorrow: chicken alphabet soup with carrots, potatoes, celery (and cauliflower and sweet potato puree). so am i.

wow i also bought this book...but i have yet to use it. i am looking forward to it though, i just don't have the stomach to cook these days.
green eggs and ham...how fun would that be!
NICE! So the book does work; I've wondered. Do you think husbands would figure out the deception??
Cauliflower Puree....You are not Nice.
We got that book and have loved it too. In fact - I've tricked adults too! It's great.
