I love to use what I have in the house when I get a craving for a certain food. I call them my creations, some great, some awful, some OK. This turned out really good. I love the beans in it, so filling and good for you and the crunchiness of the celery. You could do so many combos with this basic recipe, add heat, finely chopped broccoli, use creamy Italian, add meat and cheese cubes...hope you love it and let that creative you run free.
