We cook our grits, then whip in an egg, cheese, onion and garlic. Sometime chop up cooked bacon in the mixture then bake. Yummy!

It’s a bit late to wish you a Merry Christmas but I will anyway. I’m visiting family in Akron, Oh and took the train from Spokane, Wash. for the holidays. Enjoyed your putting together a southern breakfast. Though I prefer a few differences is ways of making a classic breakfast, (cause I cook the way my momma did on the farm in Idaho), it’s amazing how many similarities there are. Have a blessed new year!😜💕

[@angelahartley3212]

I remember my mama cracking one egg at a time in a separate bowl as she did not want one to crack one open with the other good ones as sometimes they were cloudy or had a reddish tint to them.

[@loveinautumn3978]

Everything looks so good and whether or not to use salt and pepper or sugar is a personal preference. There is no right or wrong way! People need to respect that everybody has different taste.

[@MyMason100]

As we do !

[@deansurratt7404]

I do feel that sugar shouldn't be put in grits until everyone has had a chance to fix them to their liking. Better yet, when u have company, don't add sugar & let each one add sugar or salt & butter & cheese to your own liking!

[@sherrywilliams409]

@@deansurratt7404 I agree. With company over you don’t know how they want theirs made. So make them plain and the ones that want sugar can add it at the table, then cheese and butter and so on. Once you’ve added sugar it’s too late if all don’t like sugar. Merry Christmas to all and thanks to Tammy for sharing your recipes especially Christmas breakfast!

[@wabbit7608]

Love grits, but cannot handle the sugar in it. Love sugar in oatmeal however.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Nice!

[@rosemarquinez1355]

One of the things I appreciate and love about your channel is that your viewers are made to feel like they are in your kitchen. There are nuances that we pick up that following a recipe won't provide. Such as starting meat, then biscuits, then grits...cleaning as you go...consistency of batters and mixes...how you hold the bowles...utensils picked and how to use them...I believe your channel is a true Teaching channel. I used to cook, a lot, and then a healthier change took place. And yes, healthier recipes do call for specific items and can require a special trip. Your channel let's me cook with simple ingredients that I have on hand. My childhood was very humble and I was taught at an early age to cook...your channel has reignited my enjoyment of kitchen creations. Just so u know, I am baking my 4th Oatmeal Cake to take to family and that Millionaire Pie has been requested. So Thank you for being you and preserving this southern art.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thank you Rose, that is what I keep trying to tell people. You have to watch, not just look at a recipe, to learn to cook. Glad you are making the recipes!

In the early 1970s my husband and I were stationed in California with the Air Force. We are from Alabama. We couldn't get decent flour or cornmeal. My mother would mail it to me and the postage was more than the cost of the flour and cornmeal. It was worth it because we were sick of eating bricks.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

My granny made biscuits, white gravy, chocolate gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, and red eye gravy for breakfast on Christmas morning. She passed away years ago, but we carry on the tradition. Country ham is so salty and to be honest, I don’t love it, but it’s a memory for me so I eat a piece or two just on Christmas morning. Watching you reminded me of when I used to help her make Christmas breakfast.
