Help with Grits recipe
Hello All,
Someone in the office was raving about grits cooked with cream cheese (and no orange/cheddar cheese) she was served at a bed and breakfast in the south. We poked around on the web some, but couldn't find any recipes. We found some that called for cream cheese, but they invariably called for cheddar cheese (and all kinds of other stuff), too. Is anyone familiar with grits with cream cheese? Thanks. Rick |

Just make the grits according to package directions and add a few ounces of
cream cheese whens it's nice and thick? They may also use ham or chicken stock to make the grits. That's what I'd try. *smiles* Barb |

Was it sweet or savory? Cyndi |

It's an interesting thought, a bland creamy mush accented with more bland creamy mush. |

What you then have is brick-o-grits. Slice it into 1/4" slabs and dip in scrambled eggs. Fry in bacon grease........Waste not want not. -Ginny |

>creamy >mush. > >From: Dave Smith Think grits with a creamier slightly tangy butter. I can see it. I bet it's awesome with poached eggs & black pepper and can probably even be touted as *healthier* *laughs* Some times people wanna add too much to side dishes- especially starchy ones which I think are often supposed to be a bland-ish backround to the main sauces/dishes of the meal. Mexican rice is a good example. A lot of recipes are chocked full of tomato, bell pepper, corn, peppers, heavy spices- sometimes even black beans, etc and it overpowers the more delicate flavors of say a chile relleno or a seafood enchalada rather than compliment them. The rice should also be able to provide a cool (but not tasteless) backround to the hot n spicy dishes. I think of grits similarly. Whether dressed with just butter & fresh black pepper, or eggs, or sausage country gravy they are better as a side dish if they aren't loaded with lots of other strong flavors- unless the grits are the *main dish*. Just my perspective *chuckles* YMMV Barb |

You go get him Paula! *giggles* Barb Anne |

Try making grits with heavy cream or half and half instead of water,
or a mixture of the two. It's very rich and doens't need any butter. I've never heard of using cream cheese. |

I did notice she didn't eat a bite. Have you seen the shows where Gaida interacts with her aunt? She did a couple segments with her. Something just struck me oddly watching them together.. like it was really *tense* and sweet lil Gaida with her soft curls and gentle voice was about to break out into full-tilt bitch mode. She didn't, of course, but I definitely saw a side of Gaida that surprised me. Barb Anne |
