My Ode to the Southern Brunch
Oh how my soul longs for thee
eggs scrambled, bacon crispy
mimosas that sparkle and shine
shrimp n grits in the tomato brine
oh how i wish that i could dine….

Before Covid i was planning this huge Mothers Day Southern Brunch and it was going to be the talk of the town. Beccause no one, and i do mean no one knows how to whip a southern meal this side of Junebaby , and i am so excited to share one of my favorite dishes….Shrimp N Grits.
