Contributed to the echo by: Randall Chrisman This is
something that a friend of mine learned in her efforts
to cut down on the amount of fat in her diet. Seems
she and her husband were quite fond of sour cream
(being the kind of people that would toss it onto the
potato and not stop until you couldn't see the
potato!) This is a really great substitute for the
topping...such to the point that I'm not fond of sour
cream anymore. Optional:

Schilling Cheese Sauce Mix Hidden Valley Reduced
Calorie Ranch

Mix the Hidden Valley Blue Cheese Dressing MIX. Dump
the cottage cheese, buttermilk and lemon juice into a
food processor with metal blade. Process until smooth
(and I mean SMOOTH...can turn grainy unless you give
it time...when you think it's done, process it some
more.) When it's done, you have the option of blending
in any of the powdered dressing mixes (we use 3/4
package for flavor - more than that and you've reduced
your fat intake and TRIPLED your sodium intake.) You
need to pour the contents back into the cottage cheese
container and let it set for an hour or so.
