I've got 1/5 containers of sour cream and 1/2 of cream cheese.

 

Don't want these things to go to waste and can't think of what to make with them.  Got regular pantry items on hand (pasta, rice, potatoes) just not ideas.

 

Was hoping some creative cooks could inspire me!

Throw it in a blender with a package of  dry onion soup mix and make "dip", or thin it with with vinegar for salad dressing.  Sour cream and cream cheese keep well.

Egg noodles, with the sour cream and cheese, add 1/2 sugar, handful or raisins  and bake until set 

 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@eddyandme   You can freeze cream cheese and the sour cream...can you find a cake recipe that calls for sour cream and I have been known to add it to mashed potatoes but that would be a lot of potatoes.

 

A coffee cake recipe might work, google coffee cake with sour cream, something will come up.

 

I think there are some cookies that call for that ingredient, even if you don't bake the item you could mix up and freeze and bake at a later time.

 

I also do not like to throw away food.

Do you have a dehydrator? If so you can make them into powders for future recipes.

I would make my all time favorite dip with tortilla scoop chips!

 

Blend cream cheese and sour cream.  Drain 1 jar of salsa (your choice) blend together.  Refrigerate for a hour and enjoy🙂
