Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce Recipe

I wanted to try something new with my stuffed peppers tonight and use red/sweet peppers instead of green bell peppers. Since the red peppers tend to be sweeter, I wanted to add a sauce that would be the perfect amount of tart and punch.

Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce

You need:
16 oz sour cream
1 bunch of cilantro
2 limes, will make about 1/4 cup of juice
8 green onions
garlic powder
chipotle powder
cumin
salt & pepper
blender

Directions:
Roughly chop cilantro and green onions, then add them to the blender.

Add all 16oz of sour cream.

Squeeze the limes to make about 1/4 cup of juice, then add it to the blender as well.

Blend on high until smooth.

Add seasonings to taste. I used about 1/4 tbsp of ground cumin, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, 1/4 tbsp chipotle, and 1/2 tbsp each of salt and pepper.

Serve alongside spicy or Mexican-inspired dishes for a nice pairing. Our peppers and sauce are pictured below. :)

A Colorful Kitchen for Christmas!

Looking forward to 2014 - it's sure to be filled with lots of seasoning, mixing, baking, and eating!

Like everyone else, we'll be looking to get leaner and meaner in the new year, and it'll be tough with all my new kitchen gadgets begging to be coated in sugary, buttery goodness.

I also got a new collection of delicious-smelling Yankee Candles for my office. I have the best sister.

Here's a look at them and the bright, new items and carousels in my kitchen:
