Fresh chives have a wonderful, distinct flavor. Many grocers sell chive plants for the same price as the cut herbs. Keep a plant on your window sill for a handy supply of freshly snipped chives anytime.

Great Pairings

Crunchy-Topped Lima Beans

There are two types of parsley: curly and Italian or flat-leaf. The Italian has more flavor, but may be more expensive. Either will produce a delicious casserole; use the one that's least expensive.
