Here's from one grits lover to another.
In short, how do you do it?
I haven't had grits in a long time.
I also love fried grit patties.
They're like grit hash browns.
If your tips and tricks for making grits aren't to tricky and can be done in the toaster oven and or the microwave oven?
Please share.

I'm the same way. I'm glad this topic came up because while I make grits for our breakfast fairly often I haven't had polenta in ages so I'll need to correct that very soon. Since we're talking about corn. I have to say the corn on the cob has been exceptionally yummy this summer. I love the stuff!

Oh, I love everything with corn; tortillas, pollenta etc.

One of my dreams/fantasies is to have a little angel on my shoulder so we could just go aisle by aisle in the grocery store, and the little angel would tell me everything that is there. (smile)

Hi,

No interest in polenta, otherwise known in the South as cornmeal mush. (smile) I am really interested in the pasta. Happy to know gemelli is included. I'll be looking for them. Thanks.

Hi Dianne:


So, I gave you a little misinformation. The pollenta we bought isn't microwavable, however, there are three types of pasta you can microwave. Rotini, elb ow mac, and/r gemmelly. Gimelly is like a twisty pasta. You only microwave them for one minute. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the misinformation.

Linda,

I have had microwave rice in a pouch. I heard about pasta, but, didn't know where to look for it. Is all that other stuff you mentioned in pouches like the rice? Thanks.

There are so many things you can buy now that can be microwaved. You can buy quinoa, rigatoni, instant rice, brown and white, basmadi and jasmine and even pollenta. Amazing, especially on these hot days when you don't want to heat up the house.

You could also use canned salmon instead of the tuna.

I didn't know you could do Mac and Cheese this way.  I am one of
those people who thinks that the microwave is for reheating
leftovers and warming coffee.

My Husband's favorite: I invented this recipe because it uses stuff
I can stock up on and I can make it in a half-hour after a busy day
or before a busy evening.

For a change, try some of those flavored tuna in packets.

1 box Kraft macaroni and cheese
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup hot milk
ΒΌ cup butter
2 cans about 10 oz tuna packed in water
1 pkg highly flavored tuna (2-3 ounces optional)
1 can peas
1 can Pringles or equivalent amount of chips

Microwave the macaroni in 2 cups water in a greased, covered dish
for four minutes. Stir, turn and microwave another 4 minutes. DO NOT drain!

Stir in the sauce packet and hot milk. Stir in the optional butter,
preferably melted.

Add the drained tuna and stir. Add the drained peas and stir.

Crumble the chips in a zip-lock bag. Sprinkle on top and press down.

Microwave now uncovered, for 4 minutes.

Notes: If you use another brand of boxed mac and cheese such as
Cracker barrel, you may need to reduce the liquid, especially if the
sauce packet is gel and not powder.
