Sour Cream Substitute
Grandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?
Hello, Fellow Grandma! I can understand your feelings about sour cream -- my grandson is the same way! Hmmm, but I’m wondering what your feelings are about regular cream? Because, if you don’t have the same aversion, you can certainly substitute heavy cream for sour cream in virtually any recipe that I can think of.

QuestionNot really a cooking question, but a serving one. We are having 30 people for Thanksgiving dinner. My son wants me to serve our yummy squash soup. I don't have 30 soup bowls and am trying to figure out how to serve soup to that many people. Any suggestions? Thanks. --CathyMarch 2012
