Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Sour Cream recipes?
I had an interesting experience at the grocery store yesterday. When I selected my food, it dawned on me that I was not consciously on a diet, that this is actually how I *prefer* to eat. Does anyone have ideas on what to do with sour cream? Impulsively, I bought a tub of it and now I don't know what to do with it. I used to put it on potato. eat it with a spoon. i > I had an interesting experience at the grocery store yesterday.

When I >selected my food, it dawned on me that I was not consciously on a diet, that >this is actually how I *prefer* to eat. It's beginning to feel very natural to me too. > Does anyone have ideas on what to do >with sour cream? Impulsively, I bought a tub of it and now I don't know what >to do with it. I used to put it on potato. I love sour cream too. It has a little powdered milk added, thinking of adding more for more protein. Or would that be lactose=sugar? Or would the sour cream turn the lactose into something slower to absorb? Anyway, uses. Dips for raw veg. Salad dressing. Base for cheese sauce for hot veg. ?Some substitute for potatoes au gratin: cauliflower au gratin? WAter chestnuts? Cheese-cake-ish fudge: mix with cream cheese, flavoring of choice; I'm going to try adding some grated raw carrots to make a sort of carrot fudge. Add to yoghurt drinks to cut the acid, make a more mellow taste, slow absorbtion. Might be good in a fruit drink without the yoghurt.

Serve a dollop with Fajitas or on top of Albondigas (Mexican meatball soup). Mix some in with the avocados for an extra creamy Guacamole. How about this? In a small cassarole dish put a layer of Taco seasoned cooked ground beef. Add a layer of your favorite salsa and a layer of shredded jack and cheddar cheeses. Heat until the cheese melts. Add a layer of Guacamole and a thin layer of sour cream. Sprinkle the top with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives and a bit more cheese. Voila! Your own low-carb 7-layer dip! Dip in to it with celery sticks, cucumber slices or, my favorite, a big spoon! Enjoy! Neil > I had an interesting experience at the grocery store yesterday.

(To me, it tastes sort of similar to Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix, but without all the maltodextrin, which is the main ingredient of that mix.) You could also try making "Trey's Best Morning Flaxcakes"; that includes sour cream in the ingredients list. (The recipe has been posted in this NG many times, most recently in the "Your favorite breakfast food?" thread a couple of days ago.)

I felt the cheesecake was missing something so I mixed 3 T sour cream, splenda and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Fantastic taste- good out of the bowl.
