Do you know how some foods take you back to a special time and place? This is one of those dishes. The very first time I had this dish I was in Kansas City. My precious Mother-in-law served them at Easter with leg of lamb. Oh the creamy rich texture of the grits with cheese just melted in my mouth. I definitely went back for seconds and maybe thirds. That was probably 20+ years ago. God Bless Gamma Kelly and thank God she introduced us to Cheese Grits! I know she is looking down from heaven and happy to see us enjoying her great recipes. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
