If you celebrated Easter this weekend, you probably have a fridge full of leftover ham, eggs and mashed potatoes. We spent the weekend with my parents, joining my extended family for dinner yesterday. It was quite a feast—ham, chicken, potatoes, noodles, deviled eggs and desserts. Oh, the desserts. Luckily, being gluten free kept me away from most of that table.
But, I did feast on so much amazing food throughout the weekend. Then, my mom sent most of the leftovers back home with us! We have ham, Easter eggs and mashed potatoes. Some of it has already been packed into school lunches. I also have a variety of ways to use up the rest for breakfast, lunch and dinner this week. We can make ham & chicken salad, soup, sandwiches and casseroles.
Here a few recipes & ideas:

Hey Heather,
Great advice about how to use Easter Leftovers! My favorite thing is the ham omelet. My wife adds pineapple and cream cheese to make in a Hawaiian omelet. Also, I appreciate your link for “Ways to Use Leftover Easter Eggs”. I think I might try that deviled eggs recipe for egg salad sandwiches, I needed a good recipe so thank you!
Thanks,
Timothy
Wonderful post Heather! We have lots of left-overs too – I used our left over ham to make creamy-ham pasta sauce. Thanks for the link for ways to use leftover easter eggs – we got lots of eggs to cook! 😀
