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.
