Garlic scapes are delicious. Dice them and use them like garlic; they are somewhat milder. Recently I topped a pizza with them, used them with my roasted vegetables, in some hummus and in a sautee of swiss chard that I serve over penne. If you google garlic scapes you'll get some good ideas, e.g.:

I light them in a simple saute or stir fry.
