Soul Food. Yes, it truly is good for the soul. Comfort. Family.
I've been on a Southern Dish kick lately and my poor family is enjoying the new recipes they are tasting. Today was a simple but hearty breakfast Grandma would have been proud of.
Grits slow cooked on the stove. I added half & half for a creamy texture then tossed in a bit of shredded cheddar. (Here's a simple grits recipe.)
While the grits simmered, I used up some leftover roasted veggies to make an omelet. Gram's logic of bacon fat makes everything better, I placed a dollop of bacon fat in small cast iron pan before adding the veggies & eggs. The fat browned nicely, adding a smoky flavor.
For serving, I scooped some of the cheesy grits into a bowl. Chopped up the omelet and placed it on top of the grits.
Oh, yeah!
I left for work with a happy feeling deep in my soul. Thanks, Gram!
