Couple of quick notes:
Salmon: I used canned salmon but you could totally use fresh. Just make sure to cook it first before mixing with the other ingredients.
Grits: I used instant grits but I still cook them for longer than the recommended time. I prefer my grits super creamy and not grainy.
Eggs & Toast: This meal could totally be complete all on its own but if you want the recipe for my Cream Cheese Eggs click here.
