This sausage and grits dish is great and flavorful. You can also use mild sausage and less hot sauce if you prefer to avoid the extra spice. The recipe can also be prepared up to the baking stage, and refrigerated or frozen until ready to finish.

- 1 cup quick-cooking grits

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage is crumbly and lightly browned. Drain off grease and place sausage in a bowl. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in grits, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes until grits are tender, or follow package directions.

Grandma's Caramel Frosting
This frosting recipe was the one my Grandma used on top of her oatmeal cake, spice cake, and banana nut cake. I also like it on a yellow or white cake. You do have to use at once because this does stiffen as it cools.
