We love supporting small family-owned businesses. Being in the food industry ourselves a few years ago with our bakery we know how hard it is to be in that industry. Getting your company out there and your product in the hands of others to try is challenging. Well today we are super excited to share and review a family-owned business.

We normally don’t make grits. We like to save enjoying them when we go out to eat somewhere that is known for their grits.  Now we get to enjoy that restaurant taste right in the comfort of our own home.

Frankly, nothing beats a good home cooked meal made with wholesome ingredients.

Now let’s get to cooking!

This shrimp and grit bacon recipe is packed full of flavor and makes a hearty, satisfying meal with a dash of heat from red pepper flakes.

This comfort food classic is so amazing. Bacon, shrimp, spinach? What’s not to like?

The grits are what make this meal so good. We got the grits from a family company in South Carolina.

Here is more about them from their website:

The Stauffer family grows NON GMO heirloom variety’s of corn on their 18th century plantation in Pauline South Carolina. We harvest our corn, hand select and mill our corn on site with a pink granite stone mill.

Make sure you get yourself some wonderfully delicious grits! They sell cornmeal too.

We love supporting smaller businesses, especially in the food industry as we know first hand how hard that business is. Please show them some love xoxo

It is hard to find NON GMO so we are happy to have found a supplier!

When you have grits you need something creamy to go with it, right? We made creamy spinach.

We love creamy spinach especially made with coconut milk. We have been enjoying this recipe for years and our family loves it too.

Only need 3 ingredients and made in minutes. The easiest spinach side dish that tastes incredible.

Delicious and nourishing dinner recipe made in under 30 minutes.

We made with grits with coconut milk instead of using cheese to keep it dairy-free. Of course you can toss in some cheese if you like.
