Cilantro Lime Sour Cream

I bought this Cilantro Lime mix at Williams-Sonoma and decided to try it with sour cream.  It has since turned into my favorite sour cream and I used it continuously throughout the summer.  I suggest only making what you are going to eat at one time, it only stays in the fridge for a day or so and then the lime juice starts to separate.  It is great with nachos, enchiladas, baked potatoes, pretty much anything you would top with sour cream.

Ingredients:
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons Cilantro Lime rub from Williams Sonoma

1 teaspoon Siracha hot sauce (Tabasco is fine also)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chopped garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all ingredients and serve with your favorite dish!

Mac N Cheese

 This is pretty basic homemade macaroni and cheese and very easy to make.

Ingredients:

1 package of pasta, your choice on noodles.  I use whatever I have, in this case, bow tie

1 cup sour cream (I used low-fat)

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

8 strips of bacon (bake in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes, it will turn out crispy)

1 can of condensed cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

Salt & Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook pasta as directed.  Lessen the time by a couple minutes to keep firm.  Mix pasta in with the rest of the ingredients.  Pour into a 9 x 13 in pan that you have sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Bake until cheese bubbles around the edges, should take about 45 minutes.
