The Celery Haters are Growing!!

Seriously folks, this is dreadful. The League for the Suppression of Celery has birthed another blog. This must not continue!! They must not be allowed to sully the good name, and tastiness, of Celery any longer. We need more testimonials about the goodness of celery so please send in your recipes!

Here is a recipe from Cooks.com that sounds like a tasty treat

1 8 oz package Philly cream cheese
1 4 oz package crumbled blue cheese
1 sleeve fresh celery stalks, washed and cut

Mix cheeses together at room temperature. Spread cheese mixture through crease of celery to make a slight hump.

This recipe can also be used to stuff dates. Its a wonderful appetizer. It's great around the holidays or just as a snack. The cheese mix also makes a great dip for snack crackers.

Cook's Note: For variations, try adding sliced ripe black olives to cream cheese, smoked lox bits, green onions or minced shallots. A pinch of crushed celery seed can be mixed with the cream cheese; paprika or minced garlic sprinkled over the top is a festive touch!
