Oh, What to do With those
Leftover Eggs?
By Sydney Hill
Easter is coming, along with all the eggs, eggs, eggs. I'm not talking about those cute plastic ones filled with candies galore. I'm talking about those ones you boiled to decorate, and now they're over taking the fridge, and the smell may overtake your nose if you don't use them soon.
So, don't get discouraged using them. Don't get bored, either. Just get creative. Have them every day, it will be great! I've set up a little plan for you to use: p.s. I haven't tried all of them yet, but they look scrumptious!
Sunday: Good ol' Deviled eggs (or Angel Eggs) If you don't like the deviled egg idea, just leave off the paprika and have angel eggs! My friend in elementary school came up with that.
Monday:
Jalapeno Potato Salad
Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs
1 pickled jalapeno pepper (seeds and stems removed, diced)
1 green onion (finely chopped, green part only only, about a tablespoon)
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
black pepper (salt, and cayenne to taste)
bread (or tortilla chips for serving)
Directions:
Serve either on bread for a sandwich or tortilla chips as a dip.

Tuesday: Salad bar We had this all the time growing up. Have an all-you-can-eat salad bar in the comfort of your own home. Include Kidney beans, olives, cheese, mandarin oranges, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, goldfish, and HARDBOILED EGGS! (and whatever else you want to throw on that heap of goodness). Keep toppings in separate bowls so everyone can customize their own.
