When the boys were little we had Green Eggs for breakfast everyday. I love this dish because it's great to start the day with a nice dose of green vegetables, and the boys adore how bright these eggs are. Green Eggs are also amazing because they're a fun food that doesn't contain any dye, but they still have an electric green color!
Now that the boys are getting older, we still have Green Eggs often, and I make them every St. Patrick's day so that we can start off the day in the spirit with some good green food!
When I make Green Eggs, I serve them with the Breakfast Sausage on page 31 of my book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry and my Dark Rye Bread. If you're doing a Whole30, these eggs are fantastic for breakfast, but please note, the bread is not a Whole30 recipe, as bread and other baked goods are not allowed on this diet.
We love all the fun of St. Patrick's Day. We also adore Purim which usually falls around the same time. Click here to check out my incredible gluten-free Raspberry Hamantaschen recipe.

I just had your green eggs, and they were delicious. I made it in my blender using one egg and some egg whites.
Thank you for an additional choice for breakfast.

Hi Elana – Do you think I could make the egg mixture and save in the fridge for subsequent days?
Lindsay, I recommend making it fresh each day :-)
I made this today, worked fine with 3 smallish kale leaves and 2 eggs. I added one small chopped shallot or small type of red onion– this was fantastic. I scrambled them with a chicken sausage and if I wasnt dieting I am sure the additional Rye bread would of been a lovely complement. Such a simple way to get more greens in the diet, cant believe I have never thought of it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Melinda, thanks for letting me know this was fantastic! We love it too :-)
Do green eggs go well with ham?
Dr. Seuss would definitely say yes!
Hi Elana,
Super ready to try some new Hamantaschen recipes. I made your current paleo variety, but subbed organic sugar free cranberries for the currants, which resulted in EVERYONE at my office (GF or not) loving them!!!
Chag Sameach,
Eric
Eric, I’m so happy to hear that everyone at your office loved my Hamantaschen!
