I used a small amount of chives on our baked potatoes tonight. And I added
some to our salads. But I have quite a few left. I did consider adding
them to the macaroni salad that I just made but decided not to. It was a 5
star recipe and this was the first time that I made it. Decided to leave
well enough alone! My dad used to put chives on his cottage cheese but
seeing as how I can't eat cottage cheese, I won't be doing that. So...
What else can I do with these things? My mom always had the dried ones at
home and that is what my dad used. But these are fresh ones. Thanks!

Ah well... I do have eggs that need to be used up. Will make some later
this week. Thanks!

With all your dislikes and can't eats, it's pretty hard to suggest
anything to you. Google says they can be used as a substitute for
parsley, which opens a world of possibilities. I also saw a
vinaigrette recipe from Bon Appétit that's worth passing on.

http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/20...ve-vinaigrette

Fresh Chive Vinaigrette
Makes 1/4 cup

Ingredients

1/2 small garlic clove, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Freshly ground black pepper

8 cups salad greens and fresh herb leaves and tender stems

Preparation

Combine garlic and a pinch of salt in a large salad bowl. Mash to a
paste with a fork. Mix in vinegar, then oil and chives; season with
salt and pepper. Add greens and herbs and toss to coat.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Use them fresh on most things where you'd use onion, soup, any salads with mayonnaise, sauces, etc. Dry them on low in the oven or dehydrator, or chop and freeze. They're good on just about anything.

Like vanilla or chocolate ice-cream?

You can dry your leftover chives....or just throw them in for onions in a
recipe.

You can use them for an onion sort of flavour in some dishes, but they
are not a substitute for onions.

Maybe they could be dried out and used as needed. Do you have a dehydrator?

Thanks! But we don't eat that kind of salad dressing. I don't eat any at
all. Daughter usually doesn't eat any either. Husband will eat some, but
not that.

I already have dried ones. Prolly just should have used those. None of us
really seemed to *like* the chives on the potatoes. Heh. Won't be doing
that again!

Yeah. I was expecting more of an onion flavor and it just wasn't there.

I love them snipped into scrambled eggs. I bet they would also be good
on a cheese pizza.

I have eggs to use up and will have two extra buns. So will make egg salad
sandwiches with some. If there is any beyond that, I might make a vegetable
soup.
