I love cheese grits. I put garlic in ours. I didn't realize you Canadian's ate a southern favorite like grits!!LOL My favorite comfort food (today anyway) is soup. Especially this one a neighbor gave me many years ago. I thought potato soup was yucky until I tasted this.

POTATO CHOWDER

Potatoes, about 5 lbs.
Bacon, 10-12 slices
Onion, 1 medium
Velvetta cheese, 1 lb., diced up
Butter, 1/2 stick
Parsley (I use dried)
Evaporated milk, 12 oz. can

Fill a 6 quart (or any large size) pot 3/4 full of peeled, diced potatoes. Cover with water and cook until tender. Dice bacon and saute until crisp. Remove from skillet and add diced onion; cook til soft. When potatoes are cooked, drain enough water off so the liquid barely covers them. Add bacon, onion and some of the bacon grease, cheese and butter. Stir until cheese melts. Add parsley. Allow to cool before adding evaporated milk. Reheat when ready to serve.

Now I have to ask how you eat the cheese grits? Are they a side dish by themselves, anything put over them, etc. I like hot grits as a cereal, putting butter, salt and pepper on it.

I saw on Rachael Ray, that she put them in muffin tins and baked them. They would be less fattening that way. But I was wracking my brains trying to remember who did the meatballs that I'm looking for................EUREKA! I finally remembered. Tyler Florence! So I looked it up on FoodNetwork and here it is............... Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 cup milk 4 thick slices firm white bread , crust removed, cut into cubes, about 2 cups 2 pounds ground beef 2 pounds ground pork 1 egg 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese , cut into 10 (1-inch) cubes Heat 3 tablespoons oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat; cook the onions, garlic, and parsley until softened, about 10 minutes. Scrape out onto a plate and allow the mixture to cool; set the pan aside. Pour the milk over the bread into a medium bowl and let it soak while the onions are cooling. Combine the meats in a large bowl and add the egg and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the bread to the bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. Using your hands, gently combine all the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. Don't overmix or the meatballs will be tough. Divide this mixture into 10 pieces and form them into patties. Place a mozzarella cube onto each patty and bring up the sides around the cheese to form a ball completely enclosing the cube. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put them into the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Oh man.. oh man.. I aint doggin' ya' Lucky.. but. No fish sauce? No shrimp paste? No green or red curry? I say you dump this horrible excuse for a Thai dish and the silly idea of a "Thai seasoning" (whatever that might be, it sure aint the ingredients listed) and all.. all recipe and ... write Sorry. Sorry.. I'm not holding it against you. I can't prepare Thai worth a hoot.. well, I can at least boast to having a fair amount of true Thai ingredients on hand.. and.. Oh My Goodness!! I'm Droning!!!

It's definitely a sidedish, however, when left to my own devices, I'll make up a batch and sit and eat it all by myself. We can't buy grits in Canada, so when I go to Virginia every year, I stock up. I also love garlic in mine. It was introduced to me while there visiting my Aunt. We were all invited to a pig roast, and one of the neighbours brought Garlic Cheese Grits. I just loved them, so she sent me her recipe. The only thing I do different is chop some onion into it, on account of you can never have too many onions. LOL!

Mostly a side dish for breakfast with eggs, sausage and biscuits. Always good with pork for a dinner side dish and great to take to a fish fry. Just remember to SALT the water you cook the grits in or they will never taste right.

If we're having them for breakfast, we don't add anything to them except the cheese and sometimes garlic. Don't bake them, either. Just serve hot.

You can make them like Laurel does and add sauteed sausage, onion and green pepper for an all-in-one casserole.
