It’s Dr. Seuss Week and in honor of our favorite children’s book author I am sharing this adorable throwback recipe.

This easy pudding treat is shaped like a colorful green egg inspired by Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

Real green eggs and ham lunch with a story for my littles years ago!

We love this book and the moral of the story which is don’t make up your mind about something without trying it.

My little foodies have always been great with this!

Green Eggs Pudding

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 oz box instant pudding mix I used pistachio
• 2 cups milk
• 4 vanilla wafer cookies
• colored sprinkles
• green food coloring optional

Instructions

• Add pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk to a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk well until combined. If you are using vanilla or a light color pudding you need to add food coloring now to make it green or just use pistachio flavor like I did!
• Place the bowl of pudding the fridge 5 minutes to set.
• When ready to serve, scoop about 1/2 cup onto a small plate, spreading it in a circle shape to make the "egg".
• Top with a vanilla wafer in the center of each plate of pudding as the "yolk".
• Add sprinkles all over and serve this treat to your hungry kiddos while you read them "Green Eggs and Ham".

I use 3oz pistachio instant pudding mix for this recipe.

Or you can use vanilla or another light colored flavor and add green food coloring too.

Make pudding according to package then add 1/2 cup to a small plate, spreading into a circle shape for the “egg”.

Top with a vanilla wafer in the center as the “yolk” and add sprinkles all over. 

This recipe is enough to make 4 plates. Serve and enjoy!

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

My girls and I love to read and as they get older it has become something that we really enjoy doing together as a relaxing hobby.

Over the past few months we participated in many summer reading programs, visited the libraries near us multiple times a week, and enjoyed hanging out for hours at the bookstore!

To celebrate this special day, I made Bookworms Fruit Snacks for a themed afternoon treat. These green grape stacks are fun to serve for kids parties, movie nights, and school snacks.

Bookworms Fruit Snacks

Makes 4-6 fruit worms

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup large green seedless grapes
• pipe cleaners or wooden skewer
• 2 tbsp white chocolate melted
• mini chocolate chips or black food safe marker

Instructions

• Start by washing your green grapes.
• Decide if you want to use wooden skewers or pipe cleaners .
• Thread grapes onto pipe cleaner (or skewer), poking through the center of each grape.
• Depending on the length of the pipe cleaner you should be able to fit 7-10 grapes on each.
• Once you make 4 or so worms, line up and make sure they are completely dry.
• Melt a small amout of white chocolate until smooth then dot on two white eyes to the first grape on each worm.
• Next, add black pupils inthe center of all white dots using either mini chocolate chips or a food safe black marker.
• Serve this fun snack and enjoy!

You can use either small wooden skewers or green bendy pipe cleaners.

I prefer the pipe cleaners so the worms can be more curved and wiggily and not straight like snakes. 

Thread grapes onto pipe cleaner (or skewer), poking through the center of each grape. 

Depending on the length of the pipe cleaner you should be able to fit 7-10 grapes on each.

Once you make 4 or so worms, line up and make sure they are completely dry.

Melt a small amout of white chocolate until smooth then dot on two white eyes to the first grape on each worm.

Next, add black pupils inthe center of all white dots using either mini chocolate chips or a food safe black marker.

Serve this fun snack and enjoy!

These were so cute and easy to make! My girls loved them.

Happy reading (and snacking)!

Today for #NationalReadingMonth I have created this fun On My Bookshelf Reading Log.

This free printable can be filled out with the books you read then colored and decorated too!

It’s not just for kids either- book lovers of all ages (myself included) will love this chart to keep track of all the amazing stories they have read or want to read!

Scroll down for the link to download. 

I love reading and I have passed this on to my kids!

Storytime is a daily thing in our home and we enjoy reading stories together. 

I try to mix it up for my kids by putting together themed bundles of books for us to read for that week.

I found these Easter themed books at our library and at a local thrift store. 

We also try to attend story times and reading events like Book Bingo, Book Fairs, and Story Walks at their school and the library.

This really shows them that reading is fun!

It’s not just me, Mom, reading all the time either. Dad and their Oba (Grandma) and Papa read to them too. Make it a family activity!

We also do weekly virtual book readings on Zoom and Facebook.

My little Ava has become such an avid reader now that she now reads to us!

Can you guess what I like to read? I am a huge fan of foodie mysteries and stories like Julie and Julia!

Food themed books by Joanne Fluke are great and I love Nicholas Sparks.

Comment and tell me your favorite books that I should check out.
