Hello everyone – happy Friday! I know it’s only Thursday. But considering it’s a holiday tomorrow here in Canada, that’s legit. By the way, to all my Canadian readers: happy Canada Day! And for my American friends, I hope you all have a wonderful the 4th of July celebration.

I also must apologize I have not shared any new cocktail recipe for the last two weeks. I know you miss them! And it would have been nice to have a new cocktail for this extended weekend. But I promise I will back but with soon.

In a meantime, I cannot stop sharing recipes with chives and chive blossoms. Previously I posted this Chive Blossom Butter, Chive Sour Cream Dip, and Egg Chive Salad. And here we go – another chive recipe, another dip.
