Skinnygirl Sour Cream - Bethenny Frankel
"This is an awesome recipe for faux sour cream using greek yogurt and lemon juice. It tastes exactly like sour cream with a fraction of the fat and calories. It's from Bethenny Frankel - celebrity natural foods chef, author, and star of Bethenny Getting Married and The Real Housewives of New York City. I read about this recipe in her book, Skinnygirl Dish. I've put this on top of huevos rancheros, fajitas, tacos, baked potatoes, and chili. Try it, you will not be disappointed."

Just made this to top my taco stuffed peppers. It’s great because I always have Greek yogurt and lemon. Would anyone know how long it lasts in the fridge though? -
Made this last night with fajitas.It was so delicious! I did add a pinch of salt and let it sit for about an hour. I will not buy sour cream ever again! -
I just made this and will be back to grant stars when I use it for lunch and dinner today. I used Greek non-fat yogurt and actually doubled the lemon juice because it tasted just like yogurt when prepared as the recipe is written. I am not sure if it gets better the longer it sits or if I should have used a thinner yogurt such as Dannon. I just used this in a creamy apple salad and that was a perfect use for it. Thank you! -
What a fantastic surprise! I am doing Jenny Craig right now and have really missed sour cream. This makes a good amount and taste just like sour cream! Thank you for sharing!!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in northern Minnesota with my husband. We have a dog, Buddy, who is a shepherd-collie mix. We also have a cat, Tigger, who is a brown Tabby. We both like to cook, but I'm the one that gets our meals on the table on a daily basis. My husband enjoys his role as reviewer/critic. I know a recipe is worthy of a 5-star review when my husband gives me a "top shelf, baby" after finishing his meal. If I don't hear that phrase, it just isn't a 5-star recipe. So far, I've always agreed with his reviews. If I ever think he's wrong, I'll have to rethink our system!
I've never been a really good cook, but I've always been great at following directions. Thanks to recipezaar, I just have to find the great recipes and they make me look good! It really doesn't get any better than that!
