Green eggs and ham?
Oh yes, I like them, Sam I am!
Three weeks ago we went through the household chores. Jamie decided he was going to start planning and cooking one meal a week, with help, of course.
The first week, he announced we were having fondue for dinner . . . chocolate fondue. A brief discussion on nutrition ensued, and this being his first meal, I settled for cheese fondue, with bread, meatballs, and carrots. A bit rich, and odd, for our normal diet, but I didn't want to discourage him.
The second week. Well, we've been reading Dr. Suess books; the city is having a promotion - read 8 Dr. Suess books get a free ticket to Suessical. So, Jamie must have had Dr. Suess on his mind when he suggested green eggs and Ham. Thanks to the "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook," we had soon whipped up the above culinary masterpiece.
As we were planning this week's meal, Darren, fearing that things perhaps were getting out of hand, quickly stepped in and said, "Hot dogs. How about hot dogs?" And so, Jamie also had his first grilling experience this week. Jamie had suggested salad when we insisted on vegetables of some kind, then complained miserably he didn't like the salad. So much for, "If he makes it, he won't complain," he knows arugula when he tastes it.
Since his day for cooking is Friday, I'll wonder how he'll react when he discovers he has to make turkey a part of his meal this week?

That looks interesting!
That is definitely a fun meal. How great that he is starting to cook at such a young age. I started ours very young as well.
I have the sauerkraut post up today.
That's cute! I'm not sure I could be so adventurous, but it IS a good idea to get them involved. I should really consider this.....
What a good idea! Start 'em young!
Just a thought... there are many children's cultural cookbooks out there. My oldest DD had one that had recipes from all 50 states. She also did reports that featured cooking- making homemade butter and cheetah cookies.
Hope that helps for history and Friday night dinners.
I bet he is having a ball!
Cool! I've been wanting to make green eggs and ham (well, vegetarian fake ham) for my daughter since she started getting into Dr. Seuss.
