Down Home Southern Cooking

You all know what tonight is - New Food Night.  So for all you people who sat around eating a boring hum-drum Tuesday night meal wondering what we having tonight - wait no more.  

Tonight's new recipe was Creamy Cheesy Grits - a recipe from the Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond. I had never had grits before. Nor had Chris or Gary.  Annette, however was happy to have them as she grew up with grits.  Don't they look yummy?  Bits of bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno made with chicken broth and half and half - simmer and simmer. Looks like soup here but it thickens up. 


What do you have with grits?  Well, ham of course. Annette fixed this with brown sugar Karo sauce. I love ham.   




And to keep it simple - biscuits. (We cheated and just popped a can open for this), 




Doesn't this look good?  How many of you are wishing that you had made a reservation at our house for new food night?  


And for dessert, you ask? Pudding - chocolate of course. As you can see, Chris could not wait to dig into his dessert.




Grits were very filling and here I am two hours later thinking - 'man, I don't know if I can move'. That's how you know it's a good meal. 

After discussing how the dishes were all prepared (well not my pudding.  Not much to say about that - pudding mix, milk and top with whipped cream  LOL) we discussed next week theme.  We know what it is but you will have to wait until next week to find out.
