In honor of Dr. Suess’ birthday, we have created a new spin on The Creative Kitchen’s favorite “breakfast cake” recipe. The “green” in our Green Eggs and Ham come from vitamin packed green veggies like spinach, zucchini, and broccoli. This is one dish you’ll want to make all year round because of its versatility and convenience. You can customize this recipe to your liking by swapping out vegetables. And we can’t forget mention- It’s Sam I am approved!
