🍲 Grits (Salted, Not Sweet! 😉)

Let’s go ahead and settle it now: Real ones know grits ain’t supposed to be sweet. 😂

We grew up on bowls of hot, buttery grits—sometimes with eggs, sometimes with sausage or shrimp, but never with sugar. A pinch of salt, a pat of butter, maybe even a little cheese... that’s home.

Served early in the morning with gospel playing low, or late at night when you needed something to stick to your ribs. Grits were always the answer.

🔥 How to Make Classic Grits (Savory Style)
Ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned grits

4 cups water or milk (or a mix)

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

2–3 tbsp butter

Optional: shredded cheese, pepper, or a splash of cream

Instructions:

Bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, for 20–25 minutes.

Stir in butter (and cheese if using). Serve warm.
