As long as I live I have never skipped breakfast; I strongly believe that breakfast is one of our most important meals; it sets you up for a good start of your day. Funny enough, I have never been a person of a very elaborate breakfast; when I grew up, my mother always prepared us a whole wheat sandwich with cheese and a glass of milk; that was a traditional Dutch breakfast. Later, I preferred my cold cereals with milk or yogurt or oatmeal and a glass of fruit juice.
I love oats and I love grits; especially the coarse ground cornmeal as that adds another texture, you know me and texture. I decided to make both, and it should be warm, hence this breakfast porridge.
