Wednesday Recipes: Sour Cream Cheddar Sauce

Dear Reader, I hope you are well! As of last Thursday pm, I'm home from Europe. So, I haven't had much time to cook. :) Also, after eating my way across Europe (loved the food on Viking), I needed something healthy! So, veggies away...hope you enjoy!

PS. Also, this is gluten free. A normal cheese sauce starts with butter and flour; this one has no flour.
