Quicker Cutting Up Celery
I used to hate cutting up celery because it took so long to cut up each individual stalk. Now, I keep the celery bunch together and use a sharp, large knife to cut the whole bunch at the same time. I basically cut off the very tops, because the ends are all dried out, then I cut off the bottom portion that is unusable, then I cut the rest of the bunch into as large of pieces as I want. Then I wash the celery. Yay! Celery ready to go in about 2 minutes! You can freeze the leaves to use in soups.

Hi :-} I followed your 'link up' over from Tammy's Kitchen Tip Tuesday.
I like your picture of all of the aprons. I espically like the full body aprons in the middle!!! Such a wonderful combination of cute and practical. Nice!
You right about how cutting celery can seem to take for ever. I sometimes have to laugh at myself over how impatient I can become in the kitchen. Glad you found yourself a way to speed things along.
I do something similar, but just in a different order. I cut off the ends, cut off the root end, carefully wash all the stalks and then sort of pile them up and use a big chef's knife to cut them, several at a time. If I am doing it to freeze, I do it in a food processor. :)
