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.

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.

Minnehaha Cake
The cake is named after an Indian Princess. Minnehaha means Laughing Water. The cake is beautiful and is a great Christmas cake.
Trio of Mushroom Soup (Cream of Mushroom Soup)
Had this cream of mushroom soup at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island during a wedding; came home the next day and recreated it to the best of my abilities. After tasting it and then adding the cream, I decided in the future to just remove the cream altogether! It is a fantastic soup that works well on cold winter days.
Fresh Fruit Flan
This fruit flan recipe was given to me by a great cook and great friend. In some countries, such as the U.K. and Germany, flan is not a baked custard dessert but instead similar to a fruit tart, made with a cake-like crust, custard filling, and fresh fruit on top. This recipe is a riff on that style of flan, made with a cream cheese filling reminiscent of what we in the U.S. call a fruit pizza.
