| | Wanting a healthy dinner and craving a dish I do not often cook (Cheese Grits) I looked for an idea. I came across a recipe for Cheese Grits and Greens. Grits aren’t just for breakfast, they can be a great addition to many dinners. Cheese Grits and Greens 1 lb. mixed greens, such as dandelion, mustard and collard greens, trimmed and well rinsed
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
8 (or more) cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grits
8 oz. shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste
Directions
Chop greens coarsely, and, with water still clinging to leaves, put in large pot.
 Steam over medium heat until wilted—a few minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and, when cool enough to handle, press greens to remove excess water.
 Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic 2 to 3 minutes, or until fragrant.
 Add grits, and cook according to package directions. Stir in shredded cheese, salt and pepper, and continue stirring until cheese is melted throughout.
 To serve, divide greens among 4 plates, and spoon grits mixture over top. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
 Although this is a dinner recipe I bet the leftovers for breakfast will be great with a fried egg on top.

| Vlap- I have a question...are you a full time cook or do you just like to cook? If you just like to cook then you should start a part time catering business. Who knows, you might end up with your own show one day, i.e., AddictiveCooking!

| I cooked professionally for 10 years in such establishments as Olives and the Ritz Carlton. Now I am cooking for Publix, doing cooking demos and showing people how easy it is to make a tasty hoome cooked meal.
