Steps:
- Place the milk, water, and salt into a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once the milk mixture comes to a boil, gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking. Once all of the cornmeal has been incorporated, decrease the heat to low and cover. Remove lid and whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent grits from sticking or forming lumps; make sure to get into corners of pot when whisking. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is creamy.
- Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk to combine. Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the cheese a little at a time. Serve immediately.

These were discovered by accident I was planning to make traditional Cheese Grits but did not have any cheddar cheese so I decided to improvise and I like these more than the traditional Cheese grits. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Assemble sandwich by smearing insides of bread slices with pesto. Arrange a layer of sliced tomato and season with a few turns of fresh pepper. Layer the mozzarella slices over the top and then place another piece of bread on top to make the sandwich. Drizzle olive oil over skillet's surface and place sandwiches on the hot skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, place another heavy skillet over the top to form a "press". Turn after 2 to 3 minutes and replace weight. The sandwich is ready when golden brown and mozzarella has melted around the edges.
- Toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine pesto ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined but still rough-textured. If you have a panini press, turn it on to warm up; otherwise, set a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Steps:
- To a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug (or larger), add the grits, water, and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir together with a fork or whisk and place on a microwave-safe plate to catch any overflow. Microwave on high power for 1 ½ minutes, then remove, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, and stir. Microwave for another 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until the grits are tender. Add additional seasoning if needed.
- In a small bowl, stir together the corn, mozzarella cheese, sugar, Kewpie mayonnaise, and remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and as much freshly cracked black pepper as makes you happy.
- Remove the grits from the microwave and add 1 tablespoon of whole milk. If it is still too thick for your liking, add more a splash at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Add the corn cheese mixture on top and microwave on high power-without stirring together!-for 45 seconds, or until the cheese is completely melted.
- Mix the corn cheese into the grits thoroughly, then top with sliced scallions. Get a good cheese pull for your photo and enjoy!

CHEESY GRITS
As a comfy side dish, cheese grits have fantastic potential but sometimes need a flavor boost. For add-ins, try red pepper flakes, fresh rosemary or crushed garlic. -Paula Hughes, Birmingham, Alabama
