Grandma’s Stuffed Celery: The Classic Bite We Still Can’t Stop Making

There’s a reason this humble celery log has survived decades of food trends, fancy hors d’oeuvres, and kale salads: Grandma’s Stuffed Celery is simple, satisfying, and strangely addictive. Crisp celery stalks filled with a rich, herby cream cheese blend, often studded with chopped olives, nuts, or bacon, it’s the kind of bite that disappears fast at holiday parties, church potlucks, and family reunions.

And the best part? It takes 10 minutes to make, uses 5 pantry staples, and costs pennies. No cooking. No fancy tools. Just cool crunch, creamy filling, and pure retro charm.

Let’s bring this classic back—because some traditions are too good to retire.
