Grits

Can we eat grits?  I know it is a carb but I'm craving cheese grits and shrimp.  Lord, I sound like a pregnant woman...

In the soft and mushy stage why not? Its' the breakfast food of Southern champions! Welcome home! Gina

That's why we have a drawl ya'll.

Grits should be fine, really!  Just take it easy, first off, to be sure your body is okay with them.  I am not so sure about the shrimp right now -- you are still in the soft stage, right? But good ole cheesy grits, with some soft scrambled eggs mixed in ... hmmm I need to start thinking about breakfast!!

I'm so making them today or tomorrow.  Cheese, butta and maybe shrimp...maybe I'll wait a bit on those.

Try yourself some grits if you're craving them, Betty! I'd make sure they were pretty runny. I love cheese grits with plenty of butter!

And the craving thing has been weird to me since surgery... It's exactly the way it was for me when I was pregnant.

I craved olives for about a month. Had my BP checked and it was low, so maybe I was craving the salt?

Thanks Cheryl, I now have drool running out of the left side of my mouth.  Ever boiled 'em half and half?  Makes want to spank yo mama.

Lord everytime I see the word grits I can help but to say "Girls Raised in the South" in my mind.  So you can imagine my chuckles reading "Can we eat grits?"..   I don't see any reason why you can't eat grits. Load them up with butter and your killing a craving and getting some good fat in too. :)  edit: Oh and since you're cheesin' em up that's good protein and fat as well.  Not sure on the whole shrimp thing though.....?? I'll try anything once!

Now Chris... you ain't right! (But you are funny.)

Oh, yeah, grits were a staple in my household...you can add shrimp sataued in bacon crisps and then some scallions, diced tomatoes and little bit of onion...hum, good.
