Keurig Breakfast Grits

Here's one more thing you can make in your Keurig machine.  Leave it buttery plain as is or use any add ins or toppings you like.  See my 2016 Keurig blogs for more information or on how to use this machine.



Hot Spicy Grits

1.  Pre-heat water.
2.  Empty 2 packages Quaker Instant Grits, Butter Flavor into a large size mug with:
     1 tablespoon each large chunks of dried pineapple and candied ginger (health food store)
     1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3.  Dispense 8 oz. hot water, stir, especially in the bottom edges of the dish.  Cover for 2 minutes.
     Stir and add 1-2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup (from Aldi) and sprinkle with raisens.




















Candied ginger can be hot spicy.  If you are not used to it's heat factor, you may want to add in less or omit it.  Or try it in tiny pieces.  I like the hot spicy burst of flavor and leave mine in a larger chunk.  You don't need to press the lid down tight but just set it across the top of the mug.

I really like this Corning Ware Mug with it's lid.  It's worth the price.  I bought this one at Walmart.  It's great for any mega size hot drinks, hot cereals, cup of pasta or soups and works great for when you are eating in your recliner chair and watching T.V., Netflicks or a movie.  I also picked up a mug at a second hand store although it did not come with the lid.  My local $1.00 store has a light cream colored one pretty close to this one so you can buy 6-7 of these cheaper ones without lids for the price of the higher quality Corning Ware one with it's lid.

One of my next projects for my Keurig is to set up a designated area complete with mugs, k-cups and all other Keurig items in one spot.  See my 2016 Pinterest posting link for how others have set up their stations.
