Delicious ways to use your leftover Easter eggs
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!

Mmm…I’d totally give one of them a try if I had some Easter eggs, unfortunately I didn’t decorate any this year. I’ll have at one in the near future though, it doesn’t take long to boil eggs. Did you know eggs also have a lot of vitamin A? I didn’t…
What do you usually do with your leftover eggs?

I totally didn’t refrigerate ours. When I was a kid I would eat eggs out of my basket a couple days later with no worries and never got sick, but it skeeves me out now.
I love hard-boiled eggs, but especially deviled eggs mmm.

Oh wow these recipes look delicious! I don’t eat eggs at all in any way or form so I guess I won’t be making any of them any time soon though! For easter where I live its all chocolate eggs anyway!

mm, I like chives.
I didn’t know eggs had vitamin A
Sometimes I’ll make a quiche if I have a lot of eggs, that helps to use them up. Or put hard-boiled eggs in salad.

I’m so hungry now! Those Southwestern Veggie Wraps look really delicious.

I’ve never decorated an egg my whole life and never had to deal with a surfeit of leftover Easter eggs, haha. As much as I love eggs, I’m glad. I can’t imagine having to force myself to eat all that.

Re your comment:
I always find cute stuff but I try not to buy things I don’t need. You collect dolls, so it’s cool for you to look, but I always fight the urge to bring home toy dinosaurs and such. I looked at the Flickr link you sent and she has some cool stuff, but so much of it is just clutter. If she doesn’t resell it (which she might), I just don’t know what she does with it all.
You should definitely go thrift shopping though. My goal is usually just to find a great pair of outrageous earrings or a funky scarf. Something that’s cheap but very wearable. I used to bring home tons of stuff from every trip, but I’ve learned to be pickier and not buy things for the sake of buying.
If you hit up places you better post pics!

Mmm, that looks really good. If only I had some easter eggs, lol.
