My husband has a heart condition so I'm always looking for low fat-no fat alternatives for him that still off flavor. I've been using the olive-oil based mayonnaise which is a little better calorie and health-wise than regular mayonnaise and much more flavorful than fat free mayo. Good luck on getting back into shape--you'll be there in no time!

But Ff sour cream doesn't bug me. I think that it's not so much the taste of sour cream that I crave, it's more the texture that I like. FF yogurt tastes like crap, but Ff milk is the only kind I'll take (I think I must be lactose and tolerant.) I'm sure those pregnancy lbs will drop after a few weeks or months. grab that precious babe and take a walk around the block. then come home and savor a few bites of real ice cream :) I agree with you on the no-fat-free-dairy products.

The exception to the rule in my world is mayonnaise but that's because the mayonnaise I prefer is fat free -- it's a homemade boiled mayonnaise that's a sweet and tangy. I find it has so much more flavour than oil-based mayonnaise although it doesn't have that nice creamy texture. However, when I make potato salad, I usually use a 50/50 mix of homemade to store mayonnaises which gives me the best of both worlds. Using fat-free sour cream in place of store mayonnaise might be even better! Thanks for this recipe!

I agree, there are *some* recipes where you'd never know a low-fat or fat-free version of an ingredient was used. In others, it's a dead give-away and the flavor really suffers.
