Greetings y'all 👋

This morning I made myself some Keto cheese grits and eggs, so obviously I’ve been thinking about the 80’s show Alice. Remember the sassy waitress named Flo? The one whose catchphrase was “Kiss my grits!”.

She was a hoot.

But low carb Southern cheese grits, let’s talk about it.

I’m not Southern, but I do have a long history of loving cheese grits. I used to eat them in this great brunch place in the West Village called Cowgirl. Add some crisp bacon and a runny egg on top and you were in cowgirl heaven.

💬 But what are the carbs in grits?

Normal grits are made from cornmeal and have an average of 30g net carbs per serving. Not great. They are made from cornmeal, so they aren't even a little bit Keto. No point trying to put lipstick on a pig. Grits are very unfriendly to low carb dieters.

💬 So how are these cheese grits Keto?

We are going to use low carb almond flour in place of cornmeal in this Keto cheese grits recipe, so our version has just 3g net carbs. Muuuuuuch better. Phew!

🥣 Ingredients

This recipe has just three ingredients:

• almond flour
• water
• cheese

But these Keto cheese grits can be as dressed up or as dressed down as you like.

🍳 Low Carb Additions

• Proteins: Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Pulled Pork, Cajun Shrimp
• Vegetables: Green Onions, Cherry Tomatoes, Spinach, Pico de Gallo, Avocado, Jalepeno Peppers, Garlic
• Cheeses: Cheddar, Colby, Goat, Manchega, Parmesan

📖 Instructions

1. Add 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup water and ½ teaspoon salt to a sauce pan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and mix to melt and combine.

And that’s all she wrote. 👵

In less and 10 minutes, you’ll have a cheesy, creamy bowl of Keto cheese grits with only 217 calories and 3g net carb. Add a few eggs and you’ve got the perfect low carb breakfast or brunch. Now I know that there are Keto diet naysayers out there.

But for them, I have just three words: Kiss. My. Grits. 😁

Ok, chow for now!
