I hope you had a great Easter. We had a good time coloring and decorating almost 2 dozen eggs. Of course now I’m left with plenty of hard boiled eggs. I’ve been storing them in the fridge, so they are still save to eat for a few more days. So far we’ve been snacking on them by peeling them and then sprinkling them with a little salt. But we are all getting a little tired of that and there are still plenty of boiled eggs left.

What are your favorite recipes and ideas for hard boiled eggs?

Since today is Good Friday and I was raised catholic, I’m going to prepare some fish for dinner. Depending on the weather, I usually bake it or cook it on the grill. Since it’s supposed to be rainy today, we’re having some baked white fish fillets for dinner.

By far my favorite is to wrap a salmon fillet in some aluminum foil with some lemon and dill and then either bake it or cook it on the grill (in the foil) until it is done.

I recently bought a bunch of grapes on sale. We love to eat them just as they are. I usually keep a bowl of fresh, washed and ready to eat fruit on my kitchen table, including grapes of course. It’s a great way to get everyone in the family to snack on fresh fruit.

Staring at that big bunch of grapes on the table got me thinking though…I’m sure there are a bunch of fantastic recipes that call for grapes. Care to share some as a comment below?

I’ll start by sharing one of ours…

Fruit Kabobs

Get some of your favorite fresh or canned fruit. Wash and shop into bite size chunks as needed. Thread the fruit pieces on bamboo skewers and serve these fruit kabobs with vanilla yogurt to dip them in. Grapes work perfect for these since they are already bite size.

For some reason I always cook quite a bit more spaghetti than we end up eating in one meal. If I have sauce leftover too, I usually just store the two together and reheat them the next day for lunch.

But there are quite a few times when I have pasta leftover, but no sauce – usually that’s on a day when I don’t have a jar of tomato sauce in the pantry either.

Any ideas on what else to do with leftover cooked spaghetti? I’m sure there are quite a few delicious things I could be doing with this…

I almost always have a bag of baby carrots in the fridge. We love to much on them as a snack or appetizer and I serve them as a side dish of sorts with lunch. Everyone in the family enjoys them dipped in a little ranch dressing, but we don’t really like cooked carrots all that much. I toss a few handfuls of them in when I make pot roast, but that’s about it.

Needless to say, I need some new ideas on what to do with carrots. Do you prefer ready to eat baby carrots or do you use the whole regular ones? What are your favorite ways to prepare them? Share your recipes as a comment below.
