Celery Obsession

I know that this will come as a shock, especially to my parents because as a kid I wouldn't eat soup if there was celery in it, but I have developed an obsession with celery. That's right, good ole Apium graveolens, aka celery.

My friend told me she hasn't seen me without a piece of celery or an apple in my hand since January. This is not entirely true, it feels true, but it's not. Seriously, what is more crunchy and yummy than celery? Potato chips. Right, like that's in my future anytime soon. Did you know it takes more to burn off a piece of celery than it's original caloric intake, so celery is actually a negative calorie food! This is fabulous! It's a miracle.

We are currently going through about 4 or 5 bunches a week, which is kind of excessive, but it's not just me....C and K like their celery too. I always keep a glass of celery sticks in the fridge for when someone (namely me) gets the munchies. This morning I go to retrieve a mid morning snack, only to discover an empty glass. Do you love it as much as I do when your family leaves empty boxes and bottles in the pantry or refrigerator?

Now I am having a major craving and there is no celery in this house! What is a girl to do? Well, if your this girl, you go complain about it on your blog and then head to the store. I need my miracle food fix, and K needs some diapers....

Celery is so good for you. I like it but only with peanut butter-which isn't so good for you :)
Thanks for your comments. Zach's racing in the Wasatch Back the Ragnar relay from Logan to Park City It's a 2 day all night relay. He didn't train too well, so I'm sure he'll be sore. :)

Sorry, I am a purist, no p.b. here. Unless the kids are eating it...with their celery!

That's awesome! I wanted to let you know that I don't know what the font is. A girl from my ward ordered it for everyone from a company in Colorado. She has since moved from my ward but I will see if anyone else knows!
