Green Eggs & Ham Quiche

Green Eggs and Ham Quiche

Having children in the house, I have a love relationship with Dr. Seuss.  The whimsical poet author master who is unlock any other.  We have the books and there is a clock in our younger sons room with the Oh the Places You’ll Go Theme.  Now, the theme has entered my kitchen.

White Daisies

We had some of Eric’s family stop by for a visit on Friday afternoon and I wanted to make something low-key but delicious and filling, because who wants to send away house guests with an empty stomach – about the brave ATL Labor Day Wknd traffic and the ATL airport.  Not me!
