"Thing is, I have never met anyone else who includes this dish as part of the Thanksgiving meal."

Well, not Thanksgiving---but Christmas. And yes---YYUUUMMMM!!!!

Are cheese grits part of your dinner today?

(my dad would anounce that I was going for more stuffing as well!)

I made grits casserole at the company Thanksgiving lunch and was amazed at how many had never had or heard of such a thing. I told the yankees it was polenta.

Yankees can find more ways to screw up grits. You can always tell when they've had a hand in it - the recipe begins "Take one packet of instant grits"......

We have "Texas grits".

Cheese grits, peppers, sausage, and other wonderful stuff all put together... MMMMM!

~ Happy Thanksgiving ~

Even Yankees like these grits.

I've quite shuddering when the Yankee goodwife pours maple syrup over her grits... but cheese grits??? Sounds good!

Kentucky, again.

We eat cheese grits, but only with fried mullet, hush puppies, and coleslaw.

Yummmmm. Good ole Florida cracker meal.

Last week at an office luncheon, they served Fried catfish, fried redfish, cheese grits, hush puppys, baked beans and cold slaw. AWESOME!

Where's the recipe?

You're not really Southern until you've fried your cheese grits in the leftover bacon-fat that you've kept in the fridge for a few weeks. We have our standards, you know.

*Sigh* I remember mom's Sunday Breakfast. 12 different platters including fresh baked items and everything else dipped or fried in lard. I remember the crackling sound that filled the kitchen. Sadly, that was our arteries, but it was good eatin'...

Cheese grits! LOL! I was already making some as I read.

You ought to try spicing them up with ground red pepper and Mahon or Manchego cheese!

Warning: This food definitely will raise your cholesterol levels.

PING!

Maybe this can be the start of some good holiday "my-diet-can-go-to-hell" type recipes. ;-)

Here's a secret - Japanese rice cookers, like my Zojirushi Neo-Fuzzy 10-cup, make killer grits cookers.

And grits come in a canvas bag from the mill, and most certainly *not* in a box that says "instant". Nora Mills is one of our favorite sources.

Just a couple of tips for grits rookies out there.

I never really liked cheese grits. My favorite way to eat grits is mix them up with a few pieces of crumbled up bacon and two or three over easy eggs. Add some butter, salt and pepper while you're mixing it all up and then spread on toast. That's good eatin!
