You know, the day after Easter when the package has been sitting open. Every year in our home, we make an Easter Bunny Cake. We decided on to keep the Easter Bunny Tradition but change it up a little and try the PEEPS Bunny Patch Cake. Look at the detail in this cake. We have so much fun making the cake.

Before Easter, Giant of PA had a promotion for a free ham if you spent $400 in the four weeks leading up to the holiday. Eleven pounds of ham made a delicious Easter dinner with plenty of leftovers for another dinner, a breakfast casserole, and lots of ham sandwiches. Frugal Kitchen in April: Free Ham? Yes, please!

Easter is just around the corner and if I had to choose one thing that’s always guaranteed to get passed around the dinner table more than a few times, it’s my Mom’s Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Filling Recipe. It is rich and creamy and a perfect complement to an Easter Ham or Turkey. Happy Easter. I hope you like it!

Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. If you don’t think the food in the fridge will be eaten before it goes bad, place leftovers in a freezer container, label, and store in the freezer.

I usually make this with bacon, but after all the leftover ham from Easter , I wanted to try it with ham, and you know what? I’ve been making it for years and it is a great meal, even in the summer, because you use the slow cooker, so it doesn’t heat up your kitchen. I actually like it better!

The holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter are a fantastic time to stock up on meat. Ham will be on sale for Easter and I’ve found great bargains on sausages around St. Freeze Your Leftovers. It’s not hard to spend $400 in a 4-5 week time frame, so I earn a free turkey every year.

We hosted Easter as well, and my cousin and her family dropped in to celebrate with us, too. For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. There tends to be a ton of leftovers, and I suspect that many of them are wasted because they can’t eat them all.
