Gouda Grits with Asparagus & Crab Sauce are super creamy, cheesy and topped with lump crab and fresh asparagus.
About these GRITS (and they aren’t just for breakfast either), I love to use them for dinner time meals. And when I make them, I always add MILK and Cheese – it’s a family requirement, meaning my kids won’t eat it any other way! Yes, I know they are spoiled. But once you taste them you will see why.
If you have been to my blog before, you know how much I love cheese, but I love cooking with MILK just as much! There’s just so much you can make with MILK! I don’t know about y’all, but I use milk in my daily cooking and in so many dishes from breakfast, to dinner, and in countless desserts too, like my Creamy Banana Pudding Cheesecake Parfaits! It’s all about the delicious CREAMY texture it adds – This is why I LOVE MILK just like I love cheese.

Most of you also know, I am a Florida Girl and I love to use locally sourced ingredients made from the heart. Florida is home to more than 100 dairy farmers who, for generations, work each day to produce a fresh supply of wholesome, quality milk. It’s such a treasure to know there are hard working families that care so much about the quality they are sending into our homes straight from their farms.
