*This recipe is adapted from Paula Deen's "The Lady & Sons Too!" cookbook. I love this recipe...the almonds and celery give it crunch and it's cheesy, creamy and just plain comforting. The fat free potato chips are wonderful on top and really give it a sinful taste...but you're being so gooooooood! If you don't like the tangy taste of may, use fat free sour cream instead. I ran this through the recipe builder on WW.com, so the points are accurate. Enjoy! Colette
