Grits

I have acquired the taste for a number of southern and Tex-Mex foods in the 37 years I have lived in West Texas.  Among one of my favorites for breakfast is grits.  Usually I fix grits on a weekend morning, and like to eat them with cheese and butter.  

I was just thinking about grits this morning as I watched Daybreak Today on KCBD http://www.kcbd.com/, when In the Kitchen with Chef Jeff came on.  And lo and behold, he was cooking grits http://www.inthekitchenwithjeff.com/#!recipe-backup-/coc9.  Specifically, he was cooking grits and andouille sausage. I decided for sure I wanted grits for breakfast.  While I happened to have andouille sausage, I had bought it for jambalaya, and decided not to use it for breakfast.  But the idea of frying up some onion and garlic to add to the grits sounded good to me. So, in addition to butter and cheese, the grits I had today had onions and garlic in them. And they were very, very good.  I will have to remember to do that again.  Chef Jeff suggested smoked cheese.  I did not have any, but I often buy smoked cheese.  I can see how that would add to the recipe.  Yummy!
