Master Chef
A very dear friend of mine (RIP), was a wonderful cook. Her sister, not so much. So, while my friend, her brother and their mother, slaved making a fantastic and memorable Thanksgiving meal and day, the sister always volunteered for appetizers. And she always brought the same "appetizer": Ants on a Log...I love celery. Cooked, raw, etc. One item that always landed on our Thanksgiving table is what we called stuffed celery. Take a block of cream cheese, a bit of Miracle whip (like a tablespoon) and smoosh it until it is spreadable. Add in broken pecan pieces and work in as much pecan as you can. Put them on a tray and dust with leftover pecan pieces. Refrigerate until time to serve. My sister and I would have to wrestle each other for the last piece.
