It’s totally easy to make ahead. I’m all game for that. I have socializing, beer drinking, and corn hole playing to do on the Fourth! No time for cooking!
Plus I got to use some herbs from the garden! I’m so not used to cooking with fresh herbs so I tend to forget about them! I think this will be a staple way to use some chives. It’s an easy starch to add to a meal instead of potatoes, rice or pasta. We’ve already snuck a few pieces to have with our pork loin and zucchini last night. 
Luckily there’s lots more where that came from!
