The Better Letter

You want to break your kids’ choco-sugar-puff-frosted breakfast habit, but you can’t risk tears, sulking or a missed bus.

Whole oats—called groats—and steel-cut oats are delicious and whole grain, but they take a lo-o-ong time to cook.

I didn’t grow up in a religion that celebrated Lent or Mardi Gras. We were Plymouth Brethren, a serious group.

It’s Dr. Seuss’ birthday! So celebrate March 2nd with Green Eggs and Ham. Pesto is the secret green ingredient and it gives the eggs a nice zip. We promise your kids will eat them in the rain or on a train. In a house and even with a (pet) mouse.

The recipe for this delicious and easy egg dish comes from Gloria Logan, mother of Liz Logan, Make It Better’s senior editor. All the work is done the night before, so on Mother’s Day, your brood just has to pop it in the oven while you relax.
