I love to cook and eat. And sometimes there are things that I want and I know I just can't go out and buy it. It just has to be home cooked. So that’s where I come in. We will cook and have you a pro in no time. With fun doing it. As they say I got it from my momma!!!!!

How to:

Chop onion, basil & tomato. Add to bowl put bacon and 1 tablespoon olive oil mix well.
Cook your grits the same as the box instruction. Change half of the water needed with heavy cream. (I.e. if it calls for 3 cups of water. Change it to 1 1/2 cup water & 1 1/2 cup heavy cream.) once grits are done add the cheese mix well. Put top on and let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
When serving take the grits add to plate and put some of the butter sauce from the shrimp pan on top of the grits. Then put shrimp and tomato mixture.
My SIL has been cooking this dish in her cast-iron skillet led faucet, a skillet I desperately need to get for myself, but keep forgetting too. I hear the Lodge brand is the best, do any of you have a cast-iron skillet you love?
