Tried grits for the first time – tried it straight with no additives
except a dash of salt substitute, to see how it tastes. Great stuff.
Does anyone have favorite things to add? Fruit, honey, sweetener, etc?
It seems at least as good a base for experimenting as oatmeal.

I've actually never heard of grits being used with sweet stuff in it.
I LOVE grits though, but I eat them with margarine and salt. Very
yummy.

I'm not a real big fan of grits, but I've had them with butter, sugar or
maple syrup before. Yes, I would prefer them sweet. But there is a
restuarant in town that is supposed to have great grits that have bits of
bacon and cheese in it. There are apparently tons of ways to serve grits.
I would think that just about any thing you could think of adding to
potatoes you could do the same with grits.

I love grits. What I do is mix them (dry with a little farina, another
of my fav. cereals). Actually, I don't mix literally, they get mixed
as they bubble and thicken. I love mine with Splenda or Equal and eat
them with the Smuckers sugar free syrup at only 1/4 cup=20 cal. I make
a huge bowl in the microwave. The large portion I make has 275 cal.
Grits and farina probably aren't as good for you as oats for example,
but they sure are good. Remember to stop the microwave and stir a
couple of times or you'll get clumps. I have it down to a science
though exactly when to stir and how long to let them cool. I like them
pretty thick. Walmart sells quick grits and farina real cheap if you
buy the GV brand. Their oats are also cheap....about half the price of
Quaker. dkw
