50 pound bag of Grits on the way!!!

I just put in my order to Honeyville Food Products for a 50 pound bag of white corn grits! Kept in the right conditions they can last up 1 year. But longer if you store them other way. I am also getting some oxygen absorbers and getting out my food saver.

Grits are easy to cook and they fill you up. Great source of iron and protein . http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/grits-cooked-corn-or-hominy-regular

Simple recipe for buttered grits!

1 cup of grits

5 cups of water

1 teaspoon salt

butter to taste ( we use a lot of real butter!)

In a large pot bring the water to a boil than lower to simmering.

Slowly whisk in the grits and stir them constantly until they thicken up.

Turn the heat to low. They will probably still bubble up every few seconds. Cook for about 30 minutes. Cook longer if they are coarser. Stir them  often so they don't scorch on the bottom.

Once they are tender and cooked add the butter and salt. Serve hot. I always serve mine with scrambled eggs on top.
