| On hunt for Easter leftovers recipes
When I was a kid, Easter was always one of my favorite holidays. You wake up in the morning, and there's your basket with a few toys and lots of candy.
What I find funny is that when I was a kid, the candy lasted a couple of days, but now my kids' candy sits around and the dog will eat half of it. The rest I end up tossing during the summer.
Of course, I should mention the great Easter meals we would have. They were nothing gourmet but just a great home-cooked meal: nice ham, homemade potato salad and green-bean casserole.
The nice thing about a big family meal is the leftovers. I should say spending time with family, but leftovers are better.
