Cheesy Grits

 

Teaching high school is super fun and interesting. I get to meet all different types of people and children. This year I had a student from Mississippi and I asked her what food she missed the most from home. She told me that all the food is delicious in the south but the thing she missed most was grits and hush puppies.

I thought that we should give them a try. I am still yet to try hush puppies but grits are one thing that Matt and I have always wanted to try since we love the show Hart of Dixie. We loved that goofy, cute show until it got canceled! Anyways, we have tried several different recipes and this one was our favorite so far. You should give this a try!
