My sister caught the last part of the Grits Pie recipe on your TV show and asked me to see if it was on your web site. Thank you for having it there for us. Love your web site. We met you and Michael in Jackson, MS on March 28, 2009. Loved your show there too. Thank you for having the courage to be there for all of us. Belender Moore & Burndean Tollison

I also saw this on her show. I have many it a few times. I have used fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, and fresh pinaplle juice in place of the vanilla. The best was the one with lemon. I also put some zest in. My family loves this pie so much that I now make it for Thanksgiving.

My wife saw this on your show and told me about it. We looked it up and tried it. Now, my wife doesn't eat grits, but she loved this and so do I and everyone else that has tried it. I'm introducing it to a small group tomorrow night and expect similar results.

I stumbled across this recipe while I was in the hospital. I wasn't allowed to eat and the only channel I could get to come in was the cooking channel...the horror. tongue laugh I can't wait to try it. It looked wonderful.
