I was raised in Upstate New York and never, ever tried grits or even heard of them until the Cracker Barrel restaurant came to our area and grits were on the menu.  One of you wanted to give me the opportunity to try grits for myself and for my family.  This recipe was included in the package of grits.

Let me say that these are DELICIOUS! They got my families seal of approval and a make again!  Whether you are new to grits or have been making them for ages, you need to try this recipe.

I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we all did.
