Shrimp & Grits Casserole

With May here and summer fast-approaching, I’m sure your calendar is filled with tons of important dates. One of my favorite ways to entertain is to prepare a wonderful, stress-free brunch and graduation is just the exciting occasion host one. There can be alot going on during the end of the school-year, so keep the celebration simple with my delectable yet easy Shrimp and Cheese Grits. This will entice your taste buds and impress your guests.  And don’t worry, no one ever said brunch meant spending an entire morning in the kitchen. This scrumptious dish is a time-saver as you can make it ahead of time to surprise your family the next morning. After all, the purpose of brunch is to sit down and delight in your company.

Celebrate Graduation with a Make-Ahead Brunch

Shrimp Cheese Grits Casserole

This post was from awhile ago…but making for Christmas gang also!  I am exhausted! I had 30 wonderful kids with me all weekend as we all went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  My daughter, Haley, invited 30 of her friends from Wash U in St. Louis to come experience Mardi Gras for the first time.  Many had never even been to the South so of course I had to have lots of food!! We had 5 king cakes and I cooked our classic Louisiana dishes that feed a crowd. I made Shrimp and Cheese Grits from Freezer Friendly Meals, ahead of time and froze so I didn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen when everyone got there.  I also had to make our favorite appetizers kids love to dig into – Hamburger Dip and Super Salsa…both with only a few ingredients and so easy. Of course they were gobbled up! It was a whirl-wind weekend full of fun but good to be back in my routine too!
