Laura,

If you believe you have childhood memories of jadeite, then we’re just going to roll with it. I hope you give grits a try. They are true comfort food for us.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Loved your story about finding your grits! I am a transplanted Northerner who has been in beautiful northern Alabama for a year, but I have not tried cooking grits yet. This recipe convinced me to give them a try. (I have had them in restaurants and enjoyed them!) By the way I love jadeite dishes and I admire the bowl you used in this tutorial. I am convinced I have memories of jadeite from my early childhood but none of my relatives recall having had them.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. I agree with you. I am 67 and I grew up eating grits with my 5 simblings and they were great.

In reply to Janet Schiermeister. Janet, Maybe I didn't explain myself well. The point I was trying to make is this: while crawfish are considered a delicacy by some Southerners,many North Dakotans would sooner eat a grasshopper than a crawfish.

Hey Jackie! I love grits and even tho I have not made the casserole yet, I know I will enjoy that too. But I had to write because you see, I am from North Dakota and we folks don’t cotton to grasshoppers! In our fields or our meals.

In reply to Pete DeVinne. Pete, Milk adds creaminess, for certain. Half and half adds even more.

Here is something I learned from an old grit master some time ago. I stopped by a diner in Sanford, FL and ate the best grits of my life so I had to ask what their trick was. He told me he exchanges half of the water with milk! That easy and what a difference it makes, give it a try and I’m sure you’ll love it.

In reply to Ginger. Hi Ginger: I too am a Southern Belle, not too far from you (Pensacola, FL) I was raised on grits, raised my children on grits, they are raising their children on grits. I now live Indianapolis, IN. No real southern food here, before my daddy passed away, he would send me China Doll rice, Alaga Syrup, fresh salt water MULLET UMMMM!!! I ate like I was at home. So good to talk to somebody who knows what I'm talking about. Marje

Donna,

You are a bona fide grits lover! I think you’ll like the casserole. People who don’t normally “think” they don’t like grits will eat it.

In reply to Kurt Halls. Kurt, perfect grits are awesome, but not everybody knows how to make them! Make sure to put the salt in the pot when you cook them. For some reason you can never seem to get enough after they're done. I always add more water than the box calls for and I cook them longer, til they're creamy like Jackie Garvin suggested. Happy eatin'!

Here’s another Southern saying that I just love: ” he’s so lazy, he wouldn’t work a pie factory a’ tastin’. Merry Christmas from Alabama!

Gonna bake this Christmas morning. Can’t imagine anyone not loving cheese grits. I live in Montgomery, Al. The hospital I work at has great cheese grits. They always put me in a better mood to start off my work day. Gonna swing by my local WD for some Dixie Lily grits. One of my good friends lives in Saraland so she will definitely be hearing from me if WD doesn’t stock them.
