There’s now a book trailer for NO GRITS NO GLORY, the first book in the Southern Ghosts Series!
Grits Recipes from the chilly South!
In the USA, the Southern states are known for their breakfasts. Eggs, bacon, grits, sausage. With a glass of orange juice and of course, the human staple: COFFEE!
But we’re also known for having grits for breakfast. Now, for those of you who don’t know what grits are, they are made from corn and have a similar texture/taste to polenta.
In fact, for my readers in the UK, I have given them the “grits vs polenta” comparison so they basically know what I’m talking about when I refer to grits recipes.
Many people try plain grits once and hate them for the rest of their life, but grits don’t have to be boring!
You can do anything with them, as corn is versatile. You can make corn grits, cheesy grits casserole, even a Cajun Shrimp and Grits casserole.
Back in 2013 when I released Book #1 of The Southern Ghosts Series, No Grits No Glory, I did 30 days of grits recipes on my blog as a lead-in to the release date.
Today I’m here to tell you that I’ve combined all those recipes into an easy PDF cookbook and it’s FREE for you. Click below to get your 30 days of grits recipes!

Hi all,
For the rest of November, I’ll likely not be blogging much. Too much writing to get done!
Wanted to share this though – Grits is being featured on the Book Suburbia blog along with a great grits recipe!
Hi all,
I’m guest blogging over at my Twitter friend Tracey’s blog today – come have a glass of tea and join in!
We’re talking book setting :)
Welcome to 30 Days of Grits, Day 15!
Today’s recipe is an easy one, much more so than some of the complicated casseroles I have posted on this blog.
Cheddar Creamy Grits
2 cups milk, 4 cups water, 1-2 cups quick grits (add more or less to make ideal consistency), a cup and a half of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 tsp salt
Combine water and milk, bring to a boil. Add cheese so the mixture gets blended and cheesy. Add grits and salt, reduce heat and stir/simmer for 6-9 minutes. Enjoy!
