Hey there, fellow grits enthusiasts and skeptics alike! I’m Chantel, the heart and soul behind “Simply Grits”. Born where the tea is sweet and the sunsets are even sweeter, I’ve grown up with a love for all things comforting and hearty – especially when it comes to breakfast.
My passion for cooking, particularly for that Southern staple, grits, started in the cozy kitchen of my childhood home. Some of my fondest memories are of my dad, apron on and spatula in hand, cooking up grits and eggs for me on the weekends or whenever I needed a little extra comfort. Those warm bowls of grits weren’t just food; they were bowls of love, and I swear they had the magic to make any day better.
With “Simply Grits,” I’ve turned this heartwarming legacy into a food blog that’s all about celebrating grits in all their glory – morning, noon, and night. From the traditional to the downright adventurous, I’m here to show you that grits aren’t just a side dish; they’re a way of life!
As for the great debate on how to best enjoy grits – sweet vs. savory – I proudly stand with Team Savory. There’s something about the rich, comforting nature of savory grits that just speaks to my soul. But don’t worry, sweet grits lovers, I’ve got plenty of recipes for you too!
At “Simply Grits”, you’ll find recipes that range from classic, buttery breakfast bowls to innovative dinners that’ll make you see grits in a whole new light. Each recipe is crafted with love, a bit of humor, and the hope that it brings as much joy to your table as it does to mine.
So, whether you’re a long-time grits aficionado or just starting your grits journey, I invite you to pull up a chair, grab a spoon, and join me in my celebration of all things grits. Let’s cook, laugh, and create delicious memories together!
With love and a sprinkle of salt,
Chantel Gibbons 🥄🌽💛
