Your menus look good! How do you soak grits?
Saryn,
Thank U - what a blessing to hear!
Christy,
In Nourishing Traditions, she says to use lime water. "To make lime water, place 1 inch pickling lime in a 2 quart jar. Fill jar with filtered water, shake well, cover tightly and let stand overnight. The powder will settle and the resultant clear liquid is lime water. Store in a cool place (it's not necessary to refrigerate) and use for soaking cornmeal by pouring out carefully. You may also use commercial masa flour which is cornmeal that has been prepared by soaking corn kernels in lime water before grinding. However, like all whole grain flours, cornmeal quickly goes rancid and develops a bitter taste, so it's best to grind your own corn."
