Barley, rice and other flours

Leftover Easter eggs
Got leftover Easter eggs? Make egg salad sandwiches, add to soup or meatloaf, make a potato and egg casserole with cheese and milk, cream a few of them with cream cheese and add bits of bacon or chives for a chip dip. Don't just let them rot away in the refrigerator!
