Easter has past and you have a bunch of decorated eggs leftover in your fridge. Sure, you could eat them all, but I’m sure that would get boring, and may result in a tummy ache. So what else do you do with them…? Use them to make delicious foods!
I was browsing First magazine and came across some recipes all using hard-boiled eggs. I thought they all looked delicious and thought I would share. Get creative with your leftover eggs!

I made my version of Italian Noodle Salad the other day; it was very delicious! It makes a zesty side dish or you can eat it alone like I do. It’s also quick and easy.
Ingredients:
1 LB box of Multi Colored Rotini Noodles
16 OZ bottle Italian Dressing
Diced or chopped Green Peppers, Red Peppers, Onions.
Parmesan Cheese
Pepper
I boil the noodles for 9 minutes or until tender, then I drain and rinse. After that I mix all the ingredients together, usually I also use diced tomatoes but I didn’t buy them this time. I buy everything already diced because it saves me time and I don’t have to use a knife. After everything is mixed I put it in the refrigerator to chill, after an hour it’s usually good to eat.
Everyone makes Italian Noodle Salad their own way. Some people use olives, salt, ect… It’s about knowing what you like and how much salad you want to make.
