Mac and cheese, cream of potato/tomato/cauliflower soup, loaded baked potato soup. You can also freeze it. I pour mine into an ice cube tray so that I can pull out a little at a time. (Shake really well before pouring to freeze).
Make homemade whipped cream to put on a pie or dip with peppermint joejoe's or put on hot chocolate or coffee or ice cream....
These are not suggestions you asked for.
I was going to say this too, but I wanted to add that homemade whip doesn't keep any longer than 24 hours or so. Make it and eat it with a spoon (not that I've ever done that).
allrecipes.com/recipe/16962/easy-white-chili/ I have a recipe similar to this that I love. I also add ground turkey. At the end (before serving it), pour 1/2 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream and a cup of sour cream and stir in the pot. It's healthy

All fabulous suggestions, thank you! I'm eyeing the vodka sauce, yum! (tomatoes = healthy!) I think even my girls will eat that. Ha! Vodka for the 7 and 4 year old!
Ahhh, it will be the perfect accompaniment to the wedge of brie sitting in my frig #thisiswhyicantloseweight
And then I'll do a soup.
If opened on Thursday how long do you think it's good for? (yes, a smell test is the best.) A week? 2?

Almost forever.
I normally have a pint in the fridge at all times and it takes me a couple weeks to go through it. I think I put the dregs of the last pint in the mashed potatoes I made this weekend.

This is my favorite cheese soup, Free State Cheddar Ale soup out of Lawrence, KS. It's amazing. You can use other ales - Free State distributes some around the Midwest but not far. Alma cheese is local also, just any good cheddar I've used cheddar from the fancy cheese section and Cracker Barrel white cheddar from the regular cooler.
If you've never made cream scones, you have to use some of it for that. If you've also got pumpkin laying around, we made this tonight and its awesome (it also calls for 1/2 cup heavy cream):
