Grits

A favorite in our home is Grits, Cheesy Grits with butter and a little salt and pepper. When we lived in Georgia, Grits was served in many restaurants, especially Cracker Barrel, have you ever been to Cracker Barrel? Loved that restaurant. There aren't any Cracker Barrel's her in California, and there aren't any Waffle Houses either~~~and Chic Fillet, I think there is one, but it is very far away. I remember at the Grocery store in Georgia, like Kroger or Publix the shelves would have a variety of Grits, here in California at Albertson's and Ralph they have maybe one box all the way on the top shelves, sometimes there are two. I always manage to find that box and my family just loves having Grits for or with there breakfast. We mix in Butter and Cheese and some salt and pepper:)


....and don't get me started on Pepper Sauce for the Greens, I have to make my own. We did bring a bottle home with us one time when we were in Georgia...LOL. Oh and one more thing, (maybe two more things)Avocados are served in every restaurant here in California, I don't remember Avocados being very popular in Georgia, even though, they always had them at the store. Okra, can't always find that here either. In the freezer, but my husband loves the fresh. ....and when I buy greens the cashier will ask, what are these again....I always say Collard greens, turnip greens. They don't sell too much of that here, but we buy it up! I love both Georgia and California very much, they are both very different but both wonderful in their own way.

P.S. What do you call that metal thing you put your groceries in?

I call it a grocery cart and my husband calls it a buggy:))
