Just made a heaping bowl of grits. Twenty minutes, minimum of fuss and mess - a meal worthy to carry you on for the rest of the afternoon. Toss in about 8 slices of bacon - brunch for champions!

The best grits I have ever had were down in Georgia at some restaurant near Callaway Gardens. They are called red speckled grits and they were to die for!

Used to order them from someplace years ago so I could have them here, but don't remember where from now. :doh:

I don't eat grits. That's KKK food.














Ha ha, kidding. I'm a grits person but I don't like them sweet. I like them as a layer beneath fried eggs and sausage. I do it in my dolsot bowl so the grits get a lovely crusty going on, then add the sausage patties and fried eggs on top. I like it that way with steel cut oats, too. Bowls of love. Mmmmm....

Yeah... I never got the sugar thing either.

Butter, salt and pepper. :yay:

The one southern thing I could never get used to was sausage gravy and biscuits.

I make amazing sausage gravy and that's what my kids always ask for when I visit them. I'm not a biscuit person so I like my gravy over scrambled eggs.

Yup. Just no salt. Grits were on my good to eat list during my hospital stays, as long as I had no salt and used unsalted butter. Still great tasting. The bacon has low sodium that falls into my allowable amount on a low sodium diet. Cholesterol has never been a problem - my arteries are as clean and open as an athletic 30 year old, or so says my cardiologists.

Someone made that for me once and insisted I'd like it. I'll admit, it was good.

Just not really something I have a hankering for when I'm contemplating breakfast.

It's a heart attack on a plate. But, as my son says, "You gotta die of something, right?"

Think I read somewhere that you should be able to make love for as long as it takes to cook grits.


Thank heaven's for Instant! :jet:

It only takes me 5 minutes to cook grits.








*I'm a fast cook, I guess.

Gambini: Well perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove! Were these magic grits? I mean, did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?!

:lmao: I guess the laws of physics are different on your stove, eh? I love that movie.
