Sour Cream
When recipes from Grandma's Kitchen call for sour cream in a cake recipe, does that mean sour dairy cream or the other sour cream that you use on baked potatoes?
--Kay
Hi Kay!
Recipes on Grandma’s Kitchen (and most all other recipes you’ll encounter) that call for sour cream mean you should use the containers marked “Sour Cream” that you’ll find near the cream in your grocery’s dairy case--and that you probably use on baked potatoes. (Cream that has gone sour in your refrigerator should be discarded.)

QuestionGrandma, can you please add white gravy with sausage to put over biscuits? I'm dying for that recipe. I had it when I was a young girl, but the person who fixed it for me passed away. I never did learn how to make it and have been wanting that recipe for a long time. Please help me out! Thank you so much. --TerryMarch 2012

QuestionThanks so much for the red eye gravy recipe - I made it last night and it was just like Mama used to make; it was like "going home"! Now I have another question: I am very allergic to cilantro, which appears in so many Tex/Mex recipes (whole face swells up if I eat it). Is there ANYTHING ELSE I can use that will have at least a similar flavor? I tried parsley, but it did not do much. Any suggestions? --Nana RuthMarch 2012

I need to make a potato bake and have never made one before. I think I can make it with cream, cheese, bacon, and thinly sliced potatoes, but not sure how to assemble or if I cook the potatoes before baking. Please help!
