Sounds yummy. Thanks for posting. My parents & most of my aunts, uncles, cousins were are from SC.

I love grits or cheese grits. DH thinks I weird since I eat grits but won't eat so many other things?

Actually my husband does all the cooking and he "sort of" follows the recipe on the bag.  He likes to use half-n-half and Gruyère cheese (not sure if I spelled that right) or if we don't have any he uses good ole' sharp cheddar.

Anson Mills and Marsh Hen Mills (Edisto Island) both sell quality grits.  Marsh Hen has gift boxes at good prices--including red, yellow and blue grits too, plus other locally grown items.

Formerly from South Jersey and have lived in Ladson, SC for 6 years---my daughter and her husband live 15 minutes from Edisto Beach and they introduced us to Marsh Hen Mill Grits and oh my goodness it is so good!!  I use my Instant Pot pressure mode and use mazzarella cheese and wow so GOOD!! I found the recipe online and printed it off.

Really the Palmetto Brand is good.  One thing for sure the South Carolinians know their grits!!!

So what is the difference between grits and polenta?

@wagirl - @SurferWife explained it so well! 

I always thought polenta was used in Italian cooking and is a yellow color. I haven't cooked with polenta much. Grits are southern and in their pure form are always white. Of course I make these all of the time! IDK about the taste; I hope someone who uses both can help.

@beach-mom --I just read what @SurferWife wrote--thanks---I just started making polenta---use the pot-in-pot method in my pressure cooker which is so easy. Also have used the tube kind and have to say, the fresh is so much better. Think I did eat cheesy grits and thought it was delicious too.
