Personal Notes:
This could've easily gone in "Baby, It's Cold Outside," but we had cheesy grits all year long. I'm giving credit to my great-grandma because my first (fading) memory of cheesy grits is from her kitchen, but mama made them and so did my grandmothers, aunties, and everybody else in the grits-making universe. I know some people like maple syrup or sugar in their grits, but my fam went savory with ours: crumbled strips of bacon, too much butter, and cheese, cheese, cheese. Breakfast is served!
