This was SO good!! I loved that it was made with things easily found in my cupboard and is such a fabulous way to use up some extra celery. What full flavor and low-cal as well! I will definitely be making this again. It's just what I hoped to find. Thanks so much for posting it. If you're hesitating to make this, don't!! It's wonderful!

This makes a wonderful tasting a light side for your summer cooking. I skipped the butter entirely and it was still delicious without that bit of fat. I was really surprised at the amount of flavor that this delivers. The fact that it's easy and quick doesn't hurt either. That said I should mention that I did cook it longer to remove the "crunch" so that DH would eat it too. I turned the heat down and gave it another 15 mins covered. We loved it. Made for Photo Tag.
