# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • Kids will actually eat vegetables when they're part of a storybook adventure instead of just sitting on the side of the plate.
  • It comes together in twenty minutes, which means you can pull it off even on a chaotic afternoon when someone's suddenly hungry right now.
  • You get to watch their faces light up when they realize they're actually eating the book they love.
02 -
  • The green food coloring needs to go into the raw eggs before cooking or you'll get uneven streaks instead of that gorgeous uniform green that makes it look intentional.
  • Don't overcook the eggs even a little bit—they keep cooking in the residual heat, and nobody wants rubbery green eggs no matter how good the story is.
  • Kids will take this more seriously and eat more enthusiastically if you let them participate in the assembly, even if it means the plates look a little chaotic.
03 -
  • Mix your eggs with milk and coloring the night before if you're throwing a party, because that takes the stress out of the morning and ensures the color is perfectly even.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or you'll spend ten minutes scraping instead of five minutes cooking, and trust me, that matters when you're making multiple plates.
  • If a kid says they don't like one part of the plate, don't make it a thing—just let them skip it and eat the parts they want, because the whole point is that this feels fun and not obligatory.
