This was our breakfast.
Breakfast
Not very colorful but it’s eggs from our chickens, bacon from the pig a friend raised for us, grits from the corn we grew and . . store bought bread.
Remember the corn that I had so much fun growing? I ended up with about 4 quart sized zipper bags of dried corn on the cob.
Glass Gem Corn
Every now and then, when I have nothing better to do, I scrape the kernels off the cob.
Corn Kernels
I think it’s so pretty!
Corn
On the mornings we want grits, I simply dump about 3/4 cup of corn kernels in the Vitamix and grind it very coarsely and cook it as we do grits.
Grits
And then we have this. Yum! Grits . . I put butter in mine. Vince puts cheese in his.
Grits
Can’t beat home grown grits, eggs and bacon. The only reason we didn’t have homemade bread is because Vince has been off for about 2 weeks and he goes through bread faster than I can make it. So I’ve been keeping a loaf of store bought bread here as backup.

That corn is beautiful! I had no idea grits was just ground corn- it’s not a common thing here in WA, although I do think I have made it once before just to see what it tasted like.

Your corn is beautiful! Now just like your dinner last nt I’m envious of your breakfast ~ certainly looks much better than what I ate for breakfast!! I know that I will have to make a better effort for my lunch or dinner! Your garden, own chickens/fresh eggs, canning & actual cooking w/ great & often out of the ordinary equipment are truly an inspiration!! Thank you for sharing!

Your blue corn and your glass gem corn look so pretty. How do you make grits from plain ground corn??
