Cauliflower soup and zucchini-corn bread


In this Christmas I’ve decided to cook some different dishes every day. However, the problem is that, on 25th we are going for a vacation. So, I had to finish everything what is left in the fridge. I can’t buy anything extra whatever I want to cook. However, I’ve to cook something different with whatever is left in refrigerator. Few days ago I bought a pack of sour crème. I don’t know why I bought that. Now I’ve to finish it up before going on vacation. I’ve no idea what to do with that. I haven’t found any recipe on Internet. Better to say that I have found lots of recipe with crème, but none of them are good for me. I need something else to cook any of them. So, I’ve cooked something with my own recipe.
