Leftover Easter Eggs

What To Do With Left Over Easter Eggs

If your leftover hard boiled eggs have been bouncing around the back yard for a day or two you may want to just discard them. However if they've only been out for a few hours and subsequently refrigerated then you may want to put them to good use. We offer a few suggestions.
