It’s finally been cold here in the bay so I can finally indulge in one of my favorite meals, savory cheesy lemony oatmeal.ย This recipe is based on my BFF’s shrimp and grits.ย Every time I visit her in New Jersey she asks what do you want to eat and I always say shrimp and grits.ย It’s so comforting and made with pure love.



She was recently visiting me and was going to make it for me but we just didn’t have the time so after she left I kept thinking about it, but didn’t have grits.ย I did have some steal cut oats and made my own version with what I had.
That’s the beauty of this recipe as cooking the oatmeal in vegetable stock gives you a good base on what flavors to layer on.ย I stuck with the classics and added some crispy kale for added texture.
Taking that first bite is so satisfying as you have so many textures and flavors mingling.ย It’s one of those very umami meals.ย I hope you make it.ย If you do don’t forget to share it and tag me at #rezelkealoha on Instagram and Pinterest.
