Husband: Uhm, Monkey is crying and he won't stop - he's saying "eggs" and "green" I think.
Me: Did you make scrambled eggs?
H: Yes
Me: Did you put spinach in them?
H: Spinach? No . . .
Me: Yeah, he won't eat eggs unless they're green - try pancakes.
So my advice is if you have a little, try making green eggs and hopefully it will continue on. Here's how I do it.
You'll need: pre-washed spinach (1-2 cups), a decent chef's knife, eggs & cheese (optional).
1) Chop spinach really fine like this.
2) Melt butter (or a little oil) in a pan over medium heat - add spinach and cook a bit (I add a bit of salt and pepper now but back when he was tiny I didn't).
3) Scramble eggs in a bowl (I add a bit of water) and pour over spinach. Important note - you need to make sure the little spinach bits are all covered with egg so fold eggs over the spinach until cooked. Otherwise you'll get a kid picking at the bits of free spinach.
4) Add some grated cheese and voila! Please share what (healthy) meals your kids enjoy!
