Ingredients

• 3 cups vegetable broth

**Grits are a type of coarsely ground cornmeal. Corn flour is a gluten-free, dairy-free alternative.

Directions

• Reduce the heat to low and add the grits.
• Stir the mixture until the grits are completely combined with the broth.
• Reduce the heat to low and allow the grits to simmer for 10 minutes. (Tell your kiddos it’s a good time for a snack break!)
• Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter, chives, parsley, and garlic powder.
• Serve the grits hot. Be sure to remove the excess grits from the pot with a slotted spoon – no soggy grits here!

Recommended Sides

• Crispy bacon (for the adults!)
• Roasted vegetables (Just chop them up small enough so they’re toddler-friendly!)
