2 cups water
1/2 cup quick grits
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat margarine
2 tablespoons chopped green chiles or picante sauce
1 egg, separated
1/4 cup skim milk
non-stick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bring water to boil in heavy sauce pan. Stir in grits. Return to boil, then reduce heat, partially cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add cheese a little at a time until it melts. Add margarine and chilies. Stir well. Beat egg yolk with milk and stir into grits.
Whip egg white until stiff and fold into grits.
Pour into a 5- x 5-inch casserole dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 45 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I haven't had grits in years and these brought back good memories for me. Thank you for the easy recipe.

The green chilies gave the grits a nice touch of heat (we used "hot" green chilies). The texture was good and even using lower fat products yielded a lot of good flavor that you don't always get.
