["Start this recipe by making up a batch of my Cheese Grits:", "Bring the water and salt to a boil in a smallish saucepan. Add the grits to the boiling water using a whisk. Using the whisk ensures that you don't get lumps in your grits.", "Now cover the pot, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the grits according to the package directions.", "When the grits are done, stir in the black pepper and garlic powder. Now, if you want to use fresh garlic go ahead. However, since we usually have Cheese Grits with breakfast and I don't like to get a hunk of garlic in my mouth at that time of the day, I'll stick with the powder. Thank you for understanding.", "Next, add the grated cheddar. Some people want to get all fancy with the cheese and use stuff like Parmesan, sharp Provolone or even Bleu cheese. However, to me anyway, grits are homey, comfort food and messing around with all that fancy-ness is just fooling with an already good thing. Just stick with the cheddar.", "Dump in the cheese and stir until blended.", "Everybody say ""Yum.""
