I don't think my mom made us these, but the neighbor made them frequently. I also like filling these with hummus.

I also add it to veggie platters filled with cream cheese and cut into 2 inch pieces. We use celery as a snack item filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins.

I have heard wrapping celery in foil helps to keep it longer. Also, you can store cut celery sticks in water. Buffie, I really like the walnut addition. Thanks for commenting.

For someone who has always hated celery, I'm working my way into eating more by simply starting all my dinner recipes with some sort of a mire poix - onion, carrot and celery. Unfortunately, there seems to be something wrong with my fridge. As soon as celery goes into it, it loses all its vim and vigour. It's still fine for cooking, but there is absolutely no snap to it. Strangely, the celery that I neglected to put away yesterday seems to be fine. I use celery all the time in my cooking.
