Yeah Celery!

I know it may be hard to feel enthusiastic about celery, but we are going to try. It a great long lasting and versatile veggie that adds so much flavor and character to a long list of standard fare. Store in a bag in the crisper for 2 weeks or longer.

Celery is used raw in salads and appetizers. The stalks with their half-cylinder shape are just right for filling with an interesting stuffing for finger food. Cream cheese, peanut butter, hummus are all suitable for filling a celery stalk.
Celery is always great in soups, such as vegetable, beef or chicken noodle soup. And of course it's the main attraction in celery soup, creamed or clear, which can be made with vegetable, beef, chicken or turkey stocks.
Dice celery fine and add to tuna or chicken salads for crunch.
Jonny’s favorite use for celery is sautéed with carrot and onion and whatever other vegetables are on hand for a Chinese style fried rice.
