Cheddar Cheese Grits
"My favorite way to eat grits. This makes a wonderful side dish to ham, fish and seafood, beef, or most any main course. I bet that even those of you who aren't crazy about grits will enjoy these.:)"

Pretty good. The directions were nice and clear for a Yankee who had never made grits before. One the advice of our southern native boarder I added some black pepper. They came out just a little on the runny side, but quite tasty. I think that next time I'll zip it up a bit with some herbs, use ham broth instead of water, or maybe use a mix of Parmesan and cheddar instead of just the cheddar. A good starting point recipe to work on as I add grits to the dinner rotation.

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
