Cream Cheese Celery Sticks

Cream Cheese Celery Sticks are a mid-century modern appetizer.  This classic would have originally not been seasoned, just the cream cheese and the celery, as Vito’s Mom prepared it countless times.  We’ve decided to update this classic appetizer by using a variety of seasonings to top it; “Fancy Shmancy”, as Vito’s Mom would say.  You can be creative with your seasoning selections; our favorite seasonings are everything bagel topping, herbes de Provence, lemon pepper and a homemade blend of sweet smoked paprika, fine sea salt and garlic powder.  Get creative and create seasonings to suit your taste.  Cream Cheese Celery Sticks are quick and easy to prepare as an appetizer for a weeknight dinner.  They also make a great component of an antipasto or mezze along with Tuna Tapenade, Ajvar Eggplant Red Pepper Spread, olives and cheeses.
