My thoughts:

This roughly other ane of those meals that comes too ends upwards beingness much ameliorate than expected. I beloved grits too am ever looking for ways to comprise them into a dinner. They brand a overnice choice to potatoes or rice too laid upwards up quite quickly, the perfect base of operations for a quick saute. This fourth dimension I topped them amongst collards, something I don't meet cooked rapidly really often which is a shame. They are a flake tough then the boiling pace is necessary simply they added a dandy season too texture to the dish. Shiitake mushrooms mightiness seem a petty out of house simply they absorb flavors good too added a fun chew to the saute. I can't hold off to run inwards again
