Green (Deviled) Eggs and (No) Ham: Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Green Eggs - Colored Deviled Eggs

Did you know that March 2nd is the anniversary of the legendary Dr. Seuss’ birthday?  Today, I honored his memory by making my version of green eggs (without the ham).  These colored deviled eggs are pretty easy to make, yet they look really difficult.  I made them in neon colors last year around Easter time.  Since my son recently requested deviled eggs (and they are one of my husband’s favorites as well) I decided to have a little fun with them.

I would eat them with a goat.  I would eat them in a boat.  I would eat them here and I would eat them there.  I would eat them anywhere!

Chinese Cabbage Ramen Noodle Salad

Chinese Cabbage Ramen Noodle Salad

Can you believe it’s March already?  One of my favorite food events this month is St. Patrick’s Day.  I love homemade Corned Beef Brisket and Cabbage.  It’s been a tradition at our house for years, even though we’re not Irish.  We’re not Asian either, but I love Chinese Cabbage Ramen salad.  It’s another great way to make use of those great deals on cabbage you’ll see all month at the grocery store!  There are so many variations of this recipe.  How do you make it?

Frugal Tips:  Make use of produce that is in season or is being promoted for special event or holiday.  They usually are great deals, or even promoted as loss leaders.  Think of new, creative uses for them.
