Last night watching my family eat popcorn, I decided to try these. They were really good. The celery gave me the crunch and I was craving and the cream cheese made it satisfying. I did add a bit more salt but I was craving something salty. This will probably be my snack of choice. I also plan on serving it at our Thanksgiving family dinner. Letting the cream cheese stand in the fridge overnight really improves the flavor. -
Very easy and made a side to a main dish salad. I thought the mix would have benefited from some additional spices or herbs and there is lots of room to play with this. It is a very forgiving recipe. Made for Fall '09 Pick A Chef. -
I love celery and cream cheese, and this adaptation was great. I also love to mix the cream cheese with organic salsa and use the celery sticks to "dip" with! Thanks! -
This is a nice change. I love stuffed celery with cream cheese and it's funny to me how many people have never seen or had this before. It is a staple at every family event of ours (has been since I was little) as well as my most favorite low carb snack. I usually put celery salt and garlic powder on mine. Cheap too! -
I really enjoyed this for an afternoon snack. Thanks!

Well, my real name is Brenda, and I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys (ages 6, 5, and 4) and 1 baby girl. I homeschool my boys during the day, and I enjoy cooking with them. I love cooking and trying new things. I like fast, easy recipes for dinner, but I also like more complicated, elegant dishes. We entertain often, so I am always looking for something new to fix. I sent several recipes into the Pillbsbury Bakeoff Contest a few years ago, so I spent a month or so inventing recipes. I will post those here soon. :) I have a son who was born 3 months premature (26 weeks gestation) and is now too skiney (at 6 years old) and sensetive to the texture of his food. I always like finding high calorie foods that he will actually eat!
In my "spare time" (ok, 1 night per week!), I design and maintain a website: SeriousMoms.com. I LOVE this site. I look forward to working on it every week. I've made several pages on my site that link to many Zaar recipes--like my Cupcakes page, and my Christmas Gift Ideas, and Recipes for Romantic Dates at Home. :)
Lately, I've been enjoying "The Sneaky Chef" with my kids. It WORKS! :) They like all of the recipes so far!!
For fun, I also enjoy scrapbooking. I'm currently working on my daughter's baby album.
We love adoption! We've adopted 2 of our kids--Noah (3) and Ruby (our baby). It's not always easy, we have struggles (we didn't get Noah 'til he was 14 months, so he has a lot of anger built up in him), but we love it nonetheless. It is a blessing to us to be able to see these kids grow, and to not know what they're going to look like or be like, and to just fall in love with how different they are from us & how those traits never could've come from us. :)
