Green Eggs and Ham
Green Eggs
Prepare Deviled eggs as your favorite recipe calls for but add a few drops of green food coloring to the filling. Then fill your eggs with the green filling.
Ham Sandwiches
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Brown Sugar Ham from the deli
Dijon Mustard
Swiss Cheese
Cut the rolls in half and spread mustard on one side, stack ham and cheese and put sandwich together then broil in the oven for just a few minutes until cheese melts and tops crisp up. Serve and along side the green eggs and enjoy.
Colored Popcorn
Pop your favorite popcorn and fill up a brown paper bag. Melt butter, corn syrup and food coloring of choice together. Pour mixture over popcorn and shake around in the brown paper bag. Pour popcorn out onto wax paper and let it set. Serve in your favorite see-through server and listen to your guests oohh and ahh
The Cat in the Hat Marshmallow Pops
You'll Need:
White Candy Melts
Red Candy Melts
Sucker Sticks
Marshmallows
Melt your candy melts adding a little oil if needed to smooth it out. Dip one end into the red and place on wax paper undipped side down to set. Once hardened do the other side of the marshmallow leaving a white stripe of marshmallow showing. Let dry.
Optional: Using a piping bag, fill with the white candy melts and pipe a hat brim around the marshmallows and let dry. Using the tip of a very sharp object (ice pick, knife, etc) make a small hole on one end of the marshamallow (the side with the white brim if you went with this option). Dip your stick in the melted chocolate and stick into the marshmallow where you just made the hole. Stick into foam or glass jar and serve.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Cupcakes
Make cupcakes as you like and use blue icing to frost. About 15 minutes before your party or before you serve the cupcakes take blue cotton candy and place on top of the cupcakes to look like Thing 1 and 2 hair. This is so fun and so easy!
