Dr. Seuss wants us all to try green eggs and ham and with this easy scrambled egg recipe we have no need not to. Skip the food coloring and use spinach and lots of fresh herb to give the eggs a green makeover. You feel much better about them, plus get some much needed greens in. Use kale or any of your favorite herbs for these!
