Post Spring Holiday Meals

Written Monday, April 5th, 2010 by Anne Coleman

Everyone I know had one thing or another to celebrate this past weekend and with each celebration came a large holiday meal. For my family the celebration was Easter and there are now two things in my refrigerator in leftover abundance: eggs and ham.

Now, putting the two together sounds yummy, but hard-boiled eggs and cooked ham aren't exactly the eggs and ham I like.  So, with some interaction here, I'm hoping for an idea or two to put both to good use.

I'm betting that I'll be making deviled eggs. I had one child begging me to make them yesterday during our dinner. I flat-out refused and she pouted. I'll do it today, for sure - because we both love them - and maybe I'll make creamed eggs on toast, but I'm not sure the same-old-same old is what I'm looking for today.

The ham? Well, it was a spiral cut, so it'll make sandwiches galore, but again, that's the usual and even ham salad is sounding boring to me. So, here's the question: What are you making with your leftovers this year?

I made some gnocchi with my leftover mashed potatoes, and some tuna sashimi tartare for the rejected sashimi cuts, and some mini potpies for the leftover ground meat with vegies. I love cooking leftovers. I'd love to be creative in transforming boring leftovers to something delightful that doesn't look like it came from yesterday's meal.

Me, too - and all of your ideas sound fantastic as usual!

Egg Salad? Ouiche?

We didn't do eggs, but with the ham I'll do quiche and also ham and bean soup.
