GRANDMA'S STUFFED CELERY
My grandma always made stuffed celery at Thanksgiving and Christmas. As kids, we were always so hungry before the holiday meal we would sneak and get a piece of celery to curb our appetite. It was nearly all gone by meal time and we always got fussed at with hint of a grin from Grandma. Now I never have holiday meals without it!

Steps:
- Coarsely chop the olives. Separate and wash celery stalks. Can remove celery strings, if desired.
- Mix cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in walnuts and olives.
- Spread filling into celery. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Chill until serving time.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp celery stalks: Limp or wilted celery will not hold the filling well and will be more difficult to stuff.
- Cut the celery stalks evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing when served.
- Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities are endless! Some popular fillings include cream cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, and pimento cheese.
- Be creative with your toppings: Chopped nuts, grated cheese, and herbs are all great options.
- Chill the stuffed celery before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the celery more refreshing.
