# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It transforms a beloved book into something kids will actually eat without negotiation.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than convincing a toddler to put on shoes.
  • You look like a creative genius parent while barely breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • Less food coloring goes further than you expect, start with two drops and add one more if needed, otherwise your green eggs look almost black.
  • The spinach leaves work best raw for color contrast, cooked spinach blends in and loses its visual pop that makes kids pause and look twice.
03 -
  • Whisk the eggs and coloring the night before if you're feeding a crowd, it saves five minutes when everyone's hungry.
  • Room temperature eggs scramble more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge, and they cook in half the time.
