Bunnies and Ham and Eggs, Oh My!
by Tawra Kellam and Jill
Cooper
It’s almost that time of year again. You’re standing, dumbfounded, in
front of a mound of hard boiled eggs, sliced ham and chocolate Easter
bunnies. You wonder “what am I going to do with 6 dozen eggs, 6 lbs. of
ham and 25 chocolate bunnies”. The stress of it is almost enough to send
you to bed for a week--or at least tear most of your hair out. Here are
a few ideas and recipes from
www.LivingOnADime.com
to help you avoid both of those.
Leftover Bunnies: Take a rolling pin to them and crush the life out of
them. Then use the crumbs to sprinkle on ice cream, use in milk shakes,
stir a few in a mug of hot chocolate, use in place of chocolate chips
for making cookies or melt for dipping fruit and candy.
Leftover Ham: Save bone for bean or split pea soup. Make ham salad, chef
salad or ham sandwiches. Chop and freeze to use in: potato salad,
scrambled eggs, omelets, to top baked potatoes, for potato soup,
scalloped potatoes, au gratin potatoes, pasties or pizza- with
pineapple. Top tortilla with ham, salsa, and cheddar cheese and warm,
for hot ham and cheese sandwiches.
Leftover Eggs: Make potato salad, tuna salad, pasta salad, chef salad,
spinach salad with eggs and bacon, deviled eggs, golden morning sunshine
or fill tomatoes with egg salad.
Golden Morning Sunshine
2 cups white sauce 4 eggs, hard
boiled and chopped
Make white sauce. Once the white sauce has thickened, add eggs.
Serve on toast.
White Sauce
1/4 cup dry milk 1 cup cold water
2 Tbsp. flour 1 Tbsp. margarine
dash salt
In a covered jar, combine dry milk, flour and salt and mix well. Add
water. Shake until all the ingredients are dissolved. Melt margarine in
a 1 quart sauce pan. Stir in flour/milk mixture and cook over low heat
until mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Keep stirring until
thickened completely.
