I have been saving this recipe since December when it arrived on my desk. Finally, the time is right to publish it. The recipe is so incredibly charming it just about shouts "print me."
So here it is: green eggs and ham. It's suited for any occasion, of course, but perfect for St. Patrick's Day: simple, flavorful and green.
