Grits!

[moroccangirl]

I think i accidentally made a good grits base for shrimp and grits today. I love grits. Salt, pepper, an butter is just fine with me. DH thinks they're bland. I was watching the pioneer woman on the food network this morning and she made grits to go along beef stew. She put onions, bell peppers, and some other stuff in there. So that gave me an idea to make grits so dh would eat them. I sautéed a chopped up onion, then put the grits in, then used chicken broth instead of water. I let that cook then added some milk and cheese. DH loved it. I didn't put that much on his plate because he usually doesn't want them, but he got up to get more. I had fried eggs with mine and he had scrambled. I hit the table in the middle of us eating because I had a jalapeño that I meant to chop up and cook in the grits. He was so sad that I forgot it. Lol.

I have no clue what to do with grits, here in Massachusetts.  I have a box that I bought at Walmart, but I have yet to use it.  I just do not know what to do with it.

I make polenta, but never grits.

Make shrimp and grits!! Or just make it as the package says, add butter, salt and pepper and eat with eggs. I like to mix my eggs in the grits.

Nice! DH makes cheesy grits served with sautéed veggies and a fried egg. it's a tasty meal. Poblano peppers are good with it too!

Being a lifelong northerner I'd never eaten grits until recently when I made these shrimp and grits.  Why hadn't anybody told me about this before?

Shrimp and grits is a favorite in our house.  And I love grits with a little cheese and a poached egg.  Maybe I should make that for my lunch...

Ooh I make a jalapeño cheese grits dish that is soooo good; and I don't even really like grits! Is great with steak or thick grilled pork chops

Ha, the latest cooking light issue has a recipe for shrimp and grits, but I gather that light and southern do not hand in hand.

DH made shrimp with cheesy grits earlier this week.  With bacon.  OMG.  I need to get back on the diet.

I'm scared. How many sticks of butter does it take?

You can make them healthy.  You don't need a ton of cream and butter to make it yummy.

Crook's Corner! I went to college in Chapel Hill. Haven't been back in ages. Their shrimp and grits is one of the best restaurant meals I've ever had.
