Why is it when I say Grits I want to say it with a southern accent?
"Ma'am’ can I have some grrrrit’s please?" *insert southern accent*
Another random thing, whenever my husband has to call into one of the horrendous call centers, you know the ones where you have 85.6 options to try and make it to the proper person…maybe. Well when he gets connected to a southern lady..his long forgotten southern twang returns. That man could talk any company into giving us free service for a year with his accent and southern charm….that he promptly turns off once the phone call ends
Switching back to his Southern California charm….picking up some fish taco’s and making plans to go surfing…or at least picking up some avocado’s for me at the store. Party on dude.
Speaking of Southern California, I am a San Diego girl…I know a few of you might have wondered why at this time of year I still have flowers thriving out my window. You are perfectly welcome to visit, I accept payments of cheese, wine, and chocolate.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 8)
1 c. uncooked grits
2 c. water
2 c. chicken broth
1 can of Rotel, drained
1 c. milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 c. cheddar cheese, grated
DIRECTIONS
Bring to boil the water & stock; stir in grits and follow package directions. Turn off heat. Add milk, Rotel, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing well. Let cool so that eggs will not cook when added.
Add eggs and pour in a buttered casserole dish, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
"Make this casserole ya’ll!" *insert southern accent here please*

Perfect! That makes a great meal.

I'm not the biggest fan of grits but I do like the cheesy crust you've got going here!
Are grits and cornmeal the same thing? My beau lived in the South for a bit when he was a kid, he loves grits, but it is not something you can get here. Can grits be made with corn meal?
I don't think I've ever even tried grits, but that cheddar shower you have on there would convince me to give them a try. As for your sunny and flowery abode....I believe it's -15F here now, so count me as officially jealous.
Oooh that looks delish! And hey, I have those same bushes with pink flowers out my kitchen window. It's no wonder, we're only 3 hours north of you!
I put your blog on my small list of favorite sites! I feel super lame asking, but would you be willing to put Yummy Mummy on your blogroll?
These look amazingly delicious!!!
Oooooh heavenly.
Oh my god...my husband would freak out if I made this for him. Amazing!
You may have changed my view on grits!!! I have never seen them look better!!! Mmm mmm good.
You are speaking my language here! This looks to die for!! I could eat that whole thing AND some wine and chocolate;)
I cannot stop laughing. I've been practising my southern accent (a la Paula Deen) and with my mix of British accent, it's not working at all.
I don't think I had grits before, would love to try it though. Looks delicious.
Yum! Now I have a huge craving for cheesy grits, bacon and fried eggs!
There is something completely charming about a Southern accent....or a British one at that. Works for me every time. These grits look heavenly. I can't even remember the last time I have had grits and I need to fix that!
Hmmmm - I have never seen grits look better!
I've never had grits but I this recipe makes me want to try them... they look delicious.
Even though I live in NY, I love me some grits! These look fantastic!
cheeeeeeeeese! i've never had grits, but i'm sure craving them now!
my husband never has an accent until his family from texas comes to visit!
We lived in NC before moving to San Diego, and I love saying griiiitz and sweet potata pie with a Southern accent. It's so much more fun. Ain't it, Sugah?
Oh my word! How good does this look. I just might have to make it.
xo
I haven't seen an actual "growing outside" flower in "forever!" I buy fresh cut ones at the market when I see them ON SALE!!!

So delicious!

Have a nice day!

Funny, the word grits brings out my southern drawl too!! :) And I can't help but think of the old tv show Alice... "Kiss my Grits"!! LOL God, did I just age myself or what? Oh, I just saw that Design and Wine said the same thing.. oh well, it's still funny! LOL
The grits look fantastic, Jen. And Cheesy... YUM!
Mmm! I've never had grrrrits... but now I want to!
I wanna hear that southern twang! Lol. You know "grits" is two syllables, right?
Yee haw! These grits look dang good, little lady! Thinkin' about fixin' me up some of these myself! .... Was that good? I grew up on a farm, so I like to think I have it down-pat.
gimme some of those grits!! they look so darn good!
These are the most delicious grits I've ever seen! Love them!
I never had grits growing up and I'm just now learning how versatile and delicious they are. Love the addition of a can of Rotel.
I am not a grits girl...but I have to admit that this looks pretty delicious. I think your grits might be the only kind I would try! Thank you for sharing another great recipe with me. You never let me down! I hope you have a weekend of love and relaxation. We all need it, I think!
I have NEVER eaten grits, but perhaps this is a good place to start:)
now this looks like a grits recipe i can get behind!! i'm going to make it this week!!
May I say that I just love me some grits. When I lived in SC I think I had them every morning for breakfast. Usually with an egg stirred in. Oh man. I need some right now!
This looks good and yep, I also accept payment in cheese, wine and chocolate!!!
I have a giveaway on my other blog this week, maybe you also like this pretty Japanese stuff :-)
