What to do with all those leftover Easter eggs
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
So, Easter is over and some of you might have a whole bunch of (very pretty) hardboiled eggs sitting in your fridge. Personally, I would be thrilled -- I make a mean, low-fat egg salad, plus on FitSugar I just came across a new recipe for not-so-devilish eggs that I would love to try. But, today's your lucky day -- here are two tasty ideas for using up those eggs:
Kristen's Low-fat High-flavor Egg-salad
(I know there is quite the debate on whether to use yolks or not -- I keep about 1/3 the yolks in for the nutrition, but otherwise discard them. Do whatever your hungry little heart desires.)
Not So Devilish Eggs (FitSugar)
Kristen's Low-fat High-flavor Egg-salad
(I know there is quite the debate on whether to use yolks or not -- I keep about 1/3 the yolks in for the nutrition, but otherwise discard them. Do whatever your hungry little heart desires.)
- Chop eggs, using whatever portion of the yolks you want.
- Add enough fat-free mayo and brown deli mustard to get the desired consistency -- I like to use just enough to get everything stuck together.
- Sprinkle in some paprika or, my personal favorite, Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning -- not too much, just enough for a little kick.
- Eat on greens, a wrap, or by itself. Yum!
Not So Devilish Eggs (FitSugar)
- Cut the eggs in halves (length-wise) and remove the yolk.
- Fill the hole where the yolk was in each half with a scoop of hummus.
- Top with a few raw, slivered almonds and a pinch of paprika.
- Serve and eat!

I say eat the yolks! And don't use fat-free mayo, yuck! :-)
Even better if you bought eggs (typically "organic") high in Omega-3s and DHA, this typically means the chickens were at least partially grass-fed and not grain-fed. This stuff is good for you!
