Occasionally I would meet up with a fellow farmer who graciously delivered my products to a restaurant in DC that we both serviced. The illusion pushed away the visceral disgust I felt every single time I heard the word grits. Prior to the Age of the Internet to prove me wrong, I argued that the fancy polenta chubs laced with sundried tomatoes, basil, and garlic I bought at European grocer was not Italian grits. Everyone stared in horror as I loaded the mushy substance in my bowl with brown sugar, cream, and raisins, but the horror was all mine as I took that first and last bite as everyone else at the table burst into laughter. Miserably, I shuffled through the line and welcomed what I thought was Cream of Wheat, the breakfast of my childhood winters. It had been a bone -chilling shift, kind of like how one would feel after standing out at a winter farmers market in January. Working on a crew made up coworkers from the Gulf Coast (including the cafeteria staff), I queued up for breakfast our first morning on the jobsite. As distasteful as the thought, my first real experience with the southern staple wasn’t much better. Just the name conjured up the idea of a mouthful of sand at summer vacations at the shore.

Both were cooks by trade and taught me all about being sassy in the kitchen! Granny Tag was a city girl, while Granny Macgrew up in the country. Growing up, I was heavily influenced by my mother and grandmothers, who were as different as night and day.

#Kiss my grits full
All of my dishes are full of flavor, and some are unapologetically cooked with butter. Most of my recipes can be made in less than an hour and many are under 30 minutes from start to finish. The easier it is to make a recipe, the more fun it will be. I'm a firm believer that cooking should be simple and fun.
