| Chickens and Bunnies and Eggs, Oh My! |
by Tawra KellamIt's almost that time of year again. You're standing, dumbfounded, in front of a mound of hard boiled eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies. You wonder "what am I going to do with 6 dozen eggs 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's a few ideas and recipes from Not Just Beans: 50 Years of Frugal Family Favorites to help you avoid both of those. First the 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, or use in place of chocolate chips for making cookies or melt for dipping fruit and candy. Next the eggs: Besides the usual deviled eggs and slicing them on tossed salad here's two recipes that I think you will enjoy. Egg Salad 6 hard boiled eggs, chopped 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 1 small stalk celery, chopped 1 small onion, chopped, or 1 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Mix all ingredients. Best if chilled for 1 or 2 hours. Makes 4 sandwiches Golden Morning Sunshine 4 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 2 Tbsp. flour dash salt 1 cup cold water 1 Tbsp. margarine In a covered jar, combine 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. |
