Pumpkin Sage Grits



a colorful addition to a meal of  roasted chicken and home-canned beans



6 servings cooked grits

1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

3/4 c. canned pumpkin

1 t. dried sage

salt, to taste

Cook grits according to directions on the package. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted and completely mixed. Add pumkin, sage, and salt. Mix well. Serve warm.

Recipe notes: This is one of those recipes that is just interesting enough that you have to try it, but different enough that you aren't sure you'll like it. I can't speak for anyone else, but my family loved it. Even my grits-hating husband reluctantly admited that he liked it. You can add more sage if you like, but I'm not a big fan so a subtle hint of sage was plenty for me.
