G H I

Good Day!  It's time to work on our evening meal---let's take these letters of the alphabet to plan our eats.

G = Grits!  Yes, It's time for some Southern grits!  Grits with Shrimp!  Definitely, a delicious dish for brunch or dinner.  What are grits?  Grits is nothing but corn; corn ground into grits; doesn't matter if it's white or yellow--you can purchase grits either instant, regular or old fashion.  I prefer regular grits cooked with cream.  I begin the grits with water, stir, stir, stir, stir continuously!  adding cream as needed.  This makes the grits smooth and creamy!  

Okay, now, add cheese, bacon and anything else that would add to the grits tastiness. 

H = Havati Cheese will be the one I add to my grits.  Havarti has a mild flavor similar to a Monterey Jack. Slightly acidic, the taste is buttery and ranges from somewhat sweet to very sweet. It often appears on sandwiches, in fondue and on salads.

I = Iced Tea  Yes!  That's a good meal!
