Hands down my favorite Southern food is grits. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I freaked out a bit because I wondered about my favorite Southern Soul Food. I was so relieved when I realized it was naturally gluten free. We literally have this on a monthly basis. It does great with Steak, Ham, or Shrimp! I like to serve it with this Gluten Free Homemade Bread Recipe. Be sure to “PIN” this great recipe so you will have it when you are ready to make it.

I’ve been afraid to buy grits, not knowing if they are contaminated in the field with gluten the way oats are. Are they gluten free?
Yes they are
