Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe has evolved over the years to reflect healthier eating habits though I would not call it heart healthy, but it is delicious! I usually take different elements of each version and it always comes out yummy! The cook can take creative license and adjust amounts of half-and-half vs. goats milk (always use a good amount of half-and-half), add bacon, and/or garlic, etc.
