So @Jen inspired me with her low-carb oatmeal recipe last week, and I decided that I really would like to make low carb grits! I thought that was truly impossible 🙂 But the miracle of cauliflower appears to provide an answer… This is what I found: > **[Low-Carb Cheese "Grits" - lowcarb-ology](https://www.lowcarb-ology.com/low-carb-cheese-grits/)** > > Low-carb cheese "grits" are twist on a classic southern recipe. Smoky gouda and bacon combine with low-carb ingredients to make a copycat dish you'll love. Here are the ingredients for two servings if you go by the recipe: 6 ounces raw cauliflower 1 slice bacon 1 teaspoon butter 3 tablespoons hemp seeds 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon cream cheese 1 1/2 ounces of smoked Gouda shredded 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika Pinch of garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste Now, based on what I know we can eat for breakfast, I figure one portion would require 5 ounces of cauliflower, really, which means that the recipe would call for 10 ounces of cauliflower. If you keep everything the same, that would give each serving a value of 6 carbs, which is quite reasonable for low-carb grits. I really like the rest. The feedback on the recipe is pretty good. What do you think, should we give it a try and report? ---

Give it a try! What got me lowering my carb intake was a) discovering that there were low-carb versions of _every_ food imaginable (no need to give anything up or feel deprived as long as I was willing to cook), and b) seeing the results on my BG of no spike with almost no effort on my part (no complicated bolus calculations or detailed timing). I hope you like them! ---

My wife makes a great low carb pizza with cauliflower rice. I don’t know the recipe though 😉 ---

I personally wouldn’t call it grits, however my house loves cauliflower, and what can go wrong by adding cheese and cream. Sounds really good. I would only worry about the teenager hunger abatement staying power if that was the main part of the meal.
