About
Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm Debi, the founder and creator of Quiche My Grits®, and its sister site named Easy Party Dips. When I started this journey, I never dreamed this little corner of the web would become a full time business for my family. 😀 Now, here we are...creating recipes you love and loving every minute of it!
Pull up a chair and sit a spell! This blog is all about sassy southern food that's fun to eat, and even more fun to make! Each recipe has been tested thoroughly and includes tips and suggestions to help you make it perfectly every time. 😊
My Experience
- I'm the former co-owner, manager and operator of a local Café where I was ServSafe™ certified, which means that food safety is important to me. Managing a restaurant taught me how to juggle 50 things at once, which is a vital skill for a recipe developer and content marketer.
- Being a café owner inspired me to try new things, ultimately branching out to cater weddings and events. I've catered every type of party imaginable, and gathered plenty of ideas along the way.
- I published a cookbook entitled 'By Guess and By Golly' in 2013 that was based on my family's treasured recipes. My roots are southern, and go deep into the Appalachian mountains where my great-grandmother made house calls as a local midwife and herbalist.

Everything I publish is straight from the heart. Most of my recipes can be made in less than an hour and many are under 30 minutes from start to finish. All of my dishes are full of flavor, and I unapologetically cook with butter. (Now, that's sassy!)

Southern Roots
The Blue Ridge Mountains are my home, and constantly inspire me by their beauty and rich Appalachian history.
Growing up, I was heavily influenced by my mother and grandmothers, who were as different as night and day. Granny Tag was a city girl, while Granny Mac grew up in the country. Both were cooks by trade and taught me all about being sassy in the kitchen!

How Did This Blog Get Its Name?
Quiche My Grits® is a southern thing. Ever heard of 'Kiss my Grits' that was made famous by Flo on the TV sitcom, Alice? Well, substitute 'quiche' for kiss and you've got a fun little pun with a whole lotta sass!
