Grits (plain and simple)

There are many ways to prepare grits, most of which are creamy and cheesy. That was a problem when we were trying to prepare a vegan version. So, we just made up our own recipe that can be made dairy-free or not. Easily turn these plain (and not too rich) grits into cheese grits by stirring in 1 cup grated cheese (regular or vegan).

Grits go with just about anything, and can even be eaten as a hot breakfast cereal. In the South, you’ll see shrimp and grits on most menus. We decided to pair it with our Salmon and Red Pepper Sauce and a side of Southern Succotash.
