Some of you might remember my "hope I don't offend you southerners" post of a week or so ago, about eating grits. Well I learned a lot in that thread, lol. So this morning I made my grits, and fried up two pieces of bacon and two eggs over easy. Broke up the bacon, put it and the eggs in with the grits, "mooshed" (I think that was the word) it all around, salted it... o.m.g... B) Delicious!

It's mornings like this where I don't miss my gluteny cereal. :lol:

Thanks to all of you who suggested it. ;)

Yay! So glad you liked it! I never did the jelly on top thing, just my Granny because she had a major sweet tooth. That's my favorite breakfast. Mooshed is best :P

Turning into a southerner here... :D Just had it *again* this morning. B)

Now, I do need to branch out because I don't think two eggs and a couple strips of bacon every single morning is good for me. :rolleyes:

I love grits. Now can anyone tell me why Crackerbarrel will not say their grits are gluten free. I would love to go there and have their bacon, eggs and grits and maybe the apples on the side. It would feel almost like before I had to be gluten free. I even have a girt card I can't use.

I agree. A little grated sharp cheddar cheese would round that out.

And instead of "mooshed", I'd say "schmushed"! .... :)

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

The Silver Diner, in northern VA. Not sure if it's a chain or not. But they've recently added a couple of gluten-free items (such as Van's waffles) and labeled others as Gluten-free (grits, for example). I talked to the manager who assured me that the eggs are cooked only on the egg griddle, and the bacon is cooked in the oven in the bacon pan. So far I haven't had any problems. The potatoes are a no-no though because they're fried on the same griddle as the bread things, like pancakes, etc. I didn't ask him how they toast the Van's because I eat them at home a lot so haven't ordered them out.

Yay for grits, eggs, and bacon. B)

I saw a bumper sticker that said "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as soon as I could." They must have discovered grits, too.

Try garlic cheese grits as a sde dish with pork.

Lol at the bumper sticker. :lol: And I guess technically I do live in the south since Virginia is a southern state. Even if Northern VA is like a state unto itself. ;)

ymmmmmmmmm garlic cheese grits! {putting pork on my next grocery list}

I always eat at the Silver Diner when I visit my hometown! I was so excited when I saw the gluten free options last visit! :)

As for Cracker Barrel I have actually eaten grits there and not gotten sick. That is not to say it is safe just that I personally didn't have issues. I believe I read once that because grits themselves are subject to contamination in processing a lot of restaurants won't list them as gluten-free. That is what Denny's says at anyrate.

I'll admit that I couldn't wait to try this "schmoosh" breakfast and had it for supper last night. I was disappointed tho, cause the grits were pretty tasteless. Next time I'll add more salt and more cheese.

Plus, I wish there was a way to get like quadruple yolks, as the runny part is the very best part of the egg!! ha ha

Yes, grits themselves are kind of bland. That's what all that fattening butter or cheese, and salt is for. :P

Isn't that the way it usually is? All the good-tasting stuff isn't particularly good for us. ;)

edited to add that if I ever get high blood pressure I'm going to be in big trouble. I sure do love my salt. :ph34r:

Raised in NOVA and it IS a state unto itself! Nothing Virginia about it. :P

Good to know. I may give Cracker Barrel a try. I use to live in Virginia, pretty state. I am a true southerner now that I live in Alabama. Cracker Barrel just happens to make good grits,with butter and salt added of course.

I've never seen one that said "South", but I've seen many that said "Texas".

Bought some Farmland thick sliced bacon at Walmart yesterday to go with my eggs & grits. Have been eating this breakfast at Waffle House for years, but was just diagnosed celiac Oct '10. Will have to forgo the bacon there though since they toast the Texas toast on the same grill. Same is true for their hash browns.

BTW you can tell when the grits are the proper consistency by throwing a spoonful against a wall. If it falls to the floor add more water. If it runs down the wall cook the grits longer.

Just an update. I went to my local Cracker Barrel and they said their grits come in bulk and they didn't have a label to show me so I couldn't check it. I guess Cracker Barrel is out.

Ginny, I'm just buying the Quaker grits in the round box, the five-minute kind. Not specifically labeled gluten free but the ingredients are: "white hominy grits made from corn" plus some vitamins. That's it. I haven't had any trouble at all from eating them.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
