PrintWhat do I do with all this half and half?
I aquired a big container of half and half from my fundraising efforts and I need to use it up quick. Our preferred dairy is fat free, so I'm not sure what to do with it. Does anyone have any good baking recipes I can use it for?

epicurious has a nice summer squash soup recipe that uses 1/2 and 1/2.

all of the above and puddings.......rice, tapioca or your favorite flavor. You can also use some in other savory dishes like gratins, or make a bechamel sauce which can be used in lasagna or one of my favorites - leftover cabbage mixed with bechamel, topped with buttered crumbs and baked. There are a thousand variations, but they use up a lot of dairy.

Potato gratin! I think I posted this somewhere around Thanksgiving but I love it so, and so very easy:
Peel and slice potatoes (at least 1 medium per person) and put into a heavy saucepan. Pour in half and half just to be visible under the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and nutmeg (optional). Bring to a boil, pour into a greased baking dish and bake under loosely tented foil at 375 for 40 min, until the potatoes are tender. Remove foil, sprinkle over some cheese or dot on some butter; bake till golden browned, about 15 minutes.

1/2 and 1/2 is essential for mashed potatoes.

makes for a yummy mac and cheese too, or bisque. I'd make short work of it, and save some for my coffee.

I'd go for a quiche! Certainly not low fat, but you can squeeze in some spinach to at least make an attempt at something good for you.

My first choice would be for bread pudding, then mac and cheese or ice cream.
