What to Do with Leftover Eggs from Easter

Have leftover boiled eggs from Easter? Kroger still has their eggs on sale so I decided this was the perfect time to make one of my favorite pasta salads. I thought I'd share it with you. Also, on Rachael Ray's show today she told how to make the perfect boiled eggs and I tried it and it worked perfectly! Never too old to learn a few new cooking tricks. They peeled beautifully...now that makes me a happy camper. Here is the trick. Put eggs in a cold pan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a rapid boil, turn off the stove and put a lid on the pan. Time it for 10 minutes, then drain eggs and add cold water to them. Crack the eggs a little bit and let them sit in the cold water for a little bit. This loosens the shells.

Deviled Egg Pasta Salad
1 pound elbow macaroni
4 cups of Miracle Whip or mayo
4 tablespoons mustard
2 teaspoon vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
10 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1 cup pickle relish
Paprika

Cook pasta al dente; drain and rinse in cold water. Drain again.

Mix together the Miracle Whip (or mayo), mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently fold the pasta, eggs, and pickle relish into the Miracle Whip mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate until served.
