Celery "stuffing" - Hcg P2

Cassachusetts's Note:

When you want some good old fashioned stuffing to go with your chicken. Maybe not exactly the same thing but not bad. =) The melba toast (or Grissini breadsticks) are optional. You can also lay this on your allotted piece of protein (chicken would probably be preferable) and then roll up your chicken around it. Then bake. =)

I was a little skeptical about this one (I mean, really, how much like stuffing could this really be?), but it was AMAZING! I only had about 3/4 of a cup of celery, but ended up adding two pinches of everything (except the oregano - only 1 pinch of that), added in onion powder, and used 1 grissini. After I microwaved it for 2 minutes, I topped it with my pre-cooked, pre-seasoned chicken, and microwaved it for another minute. The kitchen smelt like Thanksgiving Day! I will definitely be repeating this one. I've still got 11 more days of Phase 2, and I'm thinking I might make this everyday :) Thanks for a delicious protocol recipe!
