Food Week: Monday dinner

Something about a southern girl/ Make me feel right/ In a Mississippi morning/ She's an angel in flight/ In a blink of an eye/ She'll be out of your sight/ Something about a southern girl

I might live in northern Indiana and I might have been raised in Cincinnati but I was born in New Orleans and a part of me will always belong to the south.

Tonight, I decided to bring her out.

Lemon-Garlic Shrimp and Grits – YEE-HAW!

Y’all, let me tell you these were good. Mark even liked this dish (it “grew” on him, he said).The garlic-lemon sauce with the shrimp was amazing and I loved the Parmesan in the grits. And this meal clocks in at 370 calories. Can I get another yee-haw? YEE-HAW!

The only thing that would have made it better would be a smidge more salt in the grits and a smidge lot more cayenne on the shrimp. This southern gal likes her food spicy!

Have you ever had grits? Do you like them?

    Hate grits - barf-o-rama . . . I think it's a texture thing, no, it's a flavor thing! Love the shrimp though - yum! Yee Haw!
