SMOOTH CREAMY GRITS

Tired of lumpy grits? Make ’em smooth and creamy. I have had my share of lumpy grits. Sometimes, the lumps were as big as marbles and hard like them, too. Well, maybe not quite as hard, but they were hard nonetheless. The best grits I have ever eaten were cooked by my grandmother. She had a way of making smooth creamy grits that seemed to melt in your mouth. They were as soft and as tasty as can be. When served with bacon, eggs and homemade biscuits, those smooth creamy grits were like a slice of heaven on my plate. I never heard anyone ask, Tired of Lumpy Grits? when referring to my grandma’s grits.

My grandmother cooked smooth creamy grits for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She piled all kinds of food on top to give them a different twist. Have you ever eaten grits topped with a blend of different cheeses, crispy fried catfish, sautéed scallops or scrambled eggs? I have. I can attest that is good eating for sure.

There’s a funny thing about grits. They are easy to make, yet sometimes they just don’t turn out quite right.
