I still have a box of grits in my house. I bought them to make shrimp and grits while Michael was out of town. This morning I decided to make savory grits for breakfast. I used grits, cream, bacon, cheese, butter, scallions, and hot sauce. The result was very good. I suspect my love affair with grits will be short-lived because I don't think for a minute that Michael would like them. I have one more thought running around in my head about sweet grits with fruit. I may also try some regular grits as I suspect like oatmeal, stone ground is better.
