Cooking Tip

Whole Milk

Since there is so much butter in this dish if you want to cut down on the calories you can use 2% milk instead of whole milk. It still tastes wonderful it will just take the calorie count down a notch.

Cooking Tip

Grapes

If you want to change it up a bit you can try using chunks of mango instead of the grapes its fantastic. It makes it really creamy and great and adds a lot of moisture to the dish.
