Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. Today we feature one of the easiest ingredients to grow on your own - chives and chive recipes!
Chives are one of the easiest items to grow in your garden - whether they're in a garden bed or a pot on your deck. And they come back year after year with very little fuss. And with their pretty purple flowers, when spring rolls around they can have your garden looking lovely.
There's nothing better than being able to snip a few chives from your deck to add to salads, dressings, potatoes, pasta, muffins, scones, eggs... the list is limitless. Here are 19 of our favourite ways to use chives:
