Tasty Planner - Recipe - Luby's Grits by Weknicely

Luby’s Grits are grits that are wonderfully sweet and cooked with milk instead of water. The combination of sweetened grit cereal with a creamy texture was a surprising find.

I didn’t grow up in the South, I have lived in Texas for the past 20 some odd years now. Grits was never a breakfast that I would have grown up with in the Mid-West. I never even tried grits until I went on a trip to visit my Great Aunt in Jackson, Mississippi when I was 13. In fact, at that age, I don’t think I had been south of the Mason-Dixon line.
My grandparents loved road trips, and on this one we toured across the South. My Great Aunt Margaret was a wonderful cook, and one morning in addition to fresh out of the oven biscuits, were grits. I wasn’t always an adventurous eater, and but I reluctantly tried the grits. I was soon in love with grits and whenever I could I ordered grits with breakfast.
Until I tried Luby’s grits, I always put a little butter on my grits along with lots of salt and black pepper. For me grits is your breakfast side dish, and it has never been the main course. On a recent trip to Luby’s, I tried a bowl of their grits, and my eyes were opened. Here was a bowl of creamy sweet goodness, and I knew that I had to quickly go back into the kitchen and share this “new to me” find.
