Dr. Seuss’ birthday comes again this year on March 2nd, marking Read Across America and reminding me of the singsong voice that is a cornerstone of many childhood reading lessons. His inspirational quotes are found here, there, and everywhere (including my Christmas cards this year).
It’s the perfect reason to have a bit of fun in the kitchen in a Seussical style. Bright colors, fun rhymes, and a bit of magic will have you and the kids laughing in no time. Grab your favorite Dr. Seuss classics and make reading and eating party out of your Friday night.
The more things you will know,
The more that you learn,
The more places you’ll go.
-Dr. Seuss
With crepes and pesto, these green eggs and ham are worthy to be eaten in a house, but hopefully not with a mouse…unlike you enjoy sharing your dinner with mice.

Pretzels, chocolate-covered caramels, and a pecan turtle shell in the oven long enough for the chocolate to glue it all together are all it takes to make these cute treats. Yertle the Turtle never tasted so good.
