Easter Leftovers Recipe Roundup

Easter Leftovers Recipe Roundup

Here we are, another holiday come and gone.  Easter is such a special one because the Resurrection of Christ is really all that life hinges on!  And spring is usually close by so the weather is somewhat good – depending on the year and when Easter falls.  I love being around my misters.  And we always cook.  I usually cook a lot more than what I did – but I wanted to share with you some recipes from around the internet that will help you know what to do with those Easter dinner leftovers – or you might just want to cook them anyway because they are super yummy!

 

Leftover Lamb:

Here is a slow cooker stew that you can use – and then spend all your time in the outdoors soaking up the spring air.

Because everything can go in tacos!

I always think of gyros when I think of lamb – and here is a pita pocket recipe you can easily make at home.

 

Leftover Ham:

Fettucini is amazing – and ham in it is a wonderful choice – you can always through in leftover vegetables in here too.

Baked potato night is a regular monthly night in our house (or more).  Ham is such a delicious topping.

These are perfect if you have little hands.  I am hoping my boys will go for these.

 

Leftover Hard-Boiled Eggs:

I could eat this with a spoon or on top of a salad.

This isn’t a recipe – but you need to go here if you are in the Triangle part of Carolina.  So good.

Throw them on salads like the one I had for lunch today

Salad with egg, avocado, and bacon

 

Leftover Candy:

These truffles may have to be made soon (oh, wait, there goes my diet)

I started making these when I hung out with the admins at Providence.  So good – chocolate!

I love blondies – and these can be quite colorful!

Low-Carb Ham and Cheese Quiche

Low Carb Ham and Cheese Quiche

I always feel better when I eat low-carb, but it is such a difficult lifestyle to maintain.  When I eat too many carbs I always feel bloated and gain weight (mainly because I eat too much of the yummy bread of baked cheesy noodles – or cookies, cakes, brownies, etc).

These low-carb quiche are perfect for this lifestyle, but also are really quick to cook up one day and have for the rest of the week.  My kids were downing the ham as I was assembling them so they would most likely be kid friendly too.  And you can just pop them in the microwave as you head to school, work, or to the gym.

  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.

Green Eggs & Ham Quiche

Green Eggs and Ham Quiche

Having children in the house, I have a love relationship with Dr. Seuss.  The whimsical poet author master who is unlock any other.  We have the books and there is a clock in our younger sons room with the Oh the Places You’ll Go Theme.  Now, the theme has entered my kitchen.

White Daisies

We had some of Eric’s family stop by for a visit on Friday afternoon and I wanted to make something low-key but delicious and filling, because who wants to send away house guests with an empty stomach – about the brave ATL Labor Day Wknd traffic and the ATL airport.  Not me!
