Celery Casserole

This dish seems a little strange...celery as a main dish? But I went with it, and you know what? It rocked! It works great as a main dish, but if you're not sold you could serve it as a side instead. It was surprisingly filling & tasty. Plus the texture and color was cool. I'm all about texture, hence my obsession with sprinkles. I've been trying to stick to my weight watchers plan (post-thanksgiving blues) and this dish comes out to be about 3 points per serving. That's REALLY good for an entree. 




Anyone know any other good meatless dishes???
