The Easter weekend is one of only a handful of times throughout the year where you can indulge in lots of great food, entirely guilt free. We can go a little overboard at Easter, and there can certainly be lots of food left over. So don’t let that food go to waste, and try out these tips from short term loan provider, Mr Lender, on how to turn your leftovers into yummy new dishes.
