GRITS!

We just returned from The Atlanta Gift Market. While there, we ate at Dogwood on Peachtree Street; it was delicious! Honestly one of the best meals I have EVER had. They have a GRITS bar, yes GRITS with pimiento cheese, pulled pork grits, and beer battered fish with malt vinegar grits. Need i say more? OK I will...how about apple bacon fritters served over mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk fried boneless chicken served with green beans and mac and cheese. YUM! I have decided that my family does not eat enough grits. Below is a recipe for Jalapeno Cheese Grits, thanks to my mom, Pat Rosenthal for sharing and if you are ever in Atlanta, Dogwood is a must!

8 C water

2 t salt
