We love grits around here. I cook the grits according to the recipe. Then I add a bunch of cheddar cheese to it. We top with some garlic salt, pepper, and butter/margarine to taste. It's a yummy side dish. I've also thrown the leftovers in with some beans and quinoa before.

Some people like them sweet too, but not us.

This is a specialty in our house.

Cook them according to the direction, but substitute Swanson's Chicken Broth for the Water. I also add whatever cheese I have in the house (butterhase if my fav.)

You can serve with eggs and ham or bacon. I love to serve it with sauted shrimp and mushrooms on top.

Try this recipe:

MICROWAVE POLENTA

Combine:

2-1/2 cups water

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 teaspoon sea salt (less if using table salt)

in an 8-cup glass measure or med. glass bowl. Cook on high for 5 min. Stir, cover loosely w/paper towel, and cook 5 minutes longer.

Remove from oven, uncover, and stir in

2 tablespoons butter

a pinch of fresh-ground pepper

2-3 tablespoons cheese (fresh-grated parm, goat cheese, sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack) or additional butter

Let stand 3 minutes; serve hot.

I often make this with the addition of chevre goat cheese and chopped green onion. This is comfort food at it's best.

or try this one:

Creamy Soft Polenta (Linda Carruci)

1 1/2 cups polenta

5-6 cups chicken stock or broth

1 tsp kosher salt

2 ounces Italian Fontina, diced or shredded

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. In a 3 quart saucier combine the polenta, 5 cups of the chicken stock, and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Stir, cover, reduce heat to the lowest setting and leave it for 8 minutes. Stir with a heat proof spatula and taste. When it's done the polenta grains should be tender, but firm, not mushy. If it's not done, stir in a 1/4 cup of the remaining stock and stir over low heat until it's absorbed. Continue to add stock and stir until done. You won't necessarily use all of the stock but add enough that it's loose enough to spread. The cheese will tighten it up some.

2. Remove the pan from the heat, add the fontina cheese. When the fontina has melted, add the parmesan. Taste and add salt if needed. If it's too tight, add a little stock or milk.

Any number of dairy products, cream, milk, or cheese, will keep polenta soft and flowing. Otherwise, as it cools, it firms up considerably. This one, I've spread the leftover in a small dish and cut into triangles that I've crisped and spooned bolognese over, sprinkled a little more parmesan. It's taboo probably, but I reheat it just as it is, as well.

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.
