I love grits. I like to put my over easy eggs on a bed of grits. We have a Southern cuisine restaurant that serves a cajun hot grits side dish that's very good. Being as I really enjoy grits, it is a given that it is very high in sodium. 
do you guys make your own? is it instant grits? i have made polenta plenty of times, but i think it is different, yes????
I use quick 5-minute grits from Quaker. I grew up on the stuff. It was a regular breakfast item.
I fixed grits at the cabin a couple of years ago. It was a new item to everyone there but me and my wife.
Now it's a regular breakfast item down there.
I pulled my grits from the pantry to make certain I represented the product I use and now I'm all confused.. I don't know what made me think it was high in sodium. It has zero sodium though I have always salted it. I'll be eating grits again!!!!

The Cajun grits I spoke of are very good. I'm guessing at their recipe but it's regular grits with a mild cheddar melted in and some hot Cajun seasoning and some finely diced peppers.
I think I've tried every type of grits available. For a quick breakfast, instant grits are fast and easy. The best instant grits flavor is the one with Red Eye Gravy And Country Ham.
.....or make your own Grits with Ham & Red Eye Gravy

I was weaned on something my Grandma called grit puddue. It's grits with butter, a couple of medium eggs, a slice of cheese, and bacon crumbled into it. Cut all that in, let the cheese melt and the egg yolk cover everything... made properly, you can hear angels singing when you get a spoonful on your taste buds.

isn't it more of a breakfast thing? and that sounds more like polenta to me....sounds like something i would make. i think grits is a little more ground down cornmeal than polenta.....i think.
I think it's ground down white hominy corn
Grabbed from the net: Grits are made from dent corn, which has a higher starch content than other varieties, giving grits their creamy, soft texture. The mature kernels are processed to: Remove the outer hull, Dry, and Grind into smaller bits.
I just found this.
The difference is that grits are made from white corn (or hominy), while polenta is made from yellow corn. In a pinch, you can substitute polenta for grits and vice versa—just be aware that polenta has a coarser texture, so your results will be slightly affected.

Today was really creative, we had left over Pita bread from eating gyro inside a gyro kit a little while ago, so I cracked a few eggs inside the skillet, using a non cook spray, I opened up two egg shells over the pan and got the rest of the ingredents, I accidently forgot about the egg shells were still in it, but other then that was pretty yummy.
