Cindi Loohoo is my wife and she is AMAZING! She started KETO a couple years ago and not only does she look great, she has mastered a LOT of KETO dishes. Thank you so much for featuring her recipe. I love my princess and you made her feel really good. I appreciate that my brother! She deserves it! You are a hit!

I especially loved the My Cousin Vinny clips. That movie is just as funny today as ever.

When I do my cauli & almond flour grits, I add just a tiny bit of Amoretti sweet corn extract. Really takes it up a notch!

I laughed out loud when you said “it’s gritty” and you didn’t miss a beat. 😂😂 So dang cute! 🥰

"I'm not mad at that" hahahahaha! Love you, Wes!

"Yall!" Seal of approval for Cindy Loohoo. Making this RIGHT NOW. Follow up in 3.2.1.... Holy moly, so GOOD! Butter or with bacon is the way to go. Thank you Wes for daring to go there.

I love that you have placed grits high on the “must keto this” list. 👏👏👏

Even if you weren’t sweet as sugar, cute as a button and extremely talented, not to mention a good southern boy, I would still have to watch you for that pretty little green saucer!

Perfection! Fish and grits are on the way!

Wesley, if there is anything that I absolutely trust your taste on, it’s grits. I’m a native of LA (lower Alabama) and have missed grits on my keto journey. Thank you for bringing both of these to our attention. I’ll be trying soon.

The lupin grits are much improved by a longer cook time, I now do mine overnight in my tiny crock pot. They scratch my grits itch for sure, and I have missed grits so much!

I LOVE your comments about grits, they ring sooo true for me...napalm, grit consistency not too thick not too thin, s&p... You are a true grit fan!!!!

I'm a southern girl and ohhh this just made my heart so happy!!

There is another RU-vidr, I Don't Sugar Coat who has a lot of Lupin based recipes. She makes a 'grit' recipe using ground lupin and simmers it for about 50 min, it makes a difference!

I love the cheesy polenta from IBreathImHungry. The recipe calls for parmesan cheese but I've made it with cheddar because nothing is better than cheesy cheddar grits. 😂😊 For those "not southern" peeps, traditional Italian polenta is really just coarsely ground corn grits and traditional southern grits are made from hominy (lye corn). Since corn/hominy are definitely not low carb, you can find a low carb recipe for polenta or grits you like and make it your own depending on the flavors you want. I like adding amoretti corn flavoring to the polenta/grits along with cheese. Who the heck isn't down for some shrimp and grits, polenta with bolognese, grits and red eye gravy. Make my southern heart go pitter pat. ❤️

Oh my, the grits clips from "My Cousin Vinny!" LOL What a great movie. My favorite lines are when New York lawyer Joe Pesci refers to "the Yoots," and the late, great Fred Gwynne as the judge, says "Yoots? What are yoots?" I need to watch it again. Thanks for the reminder!

I love the way you say “the almost weekly web series”. :)

I think a combo of the 2 would be perfect, with salt n pepper and cheese. Thanks Wes, love it when you non sweet items

Wonderful having you back!!I love grits and will definitely will be making the almond version

I found your channel 3 days ago, and have literally been bingewatching ALL your recipebattles😂😂 I LOVE your honesty and humbleness, but also that you explain about the different products and ingredients that you use. I live in Denmark and many of the finished products don't exist here and is impossible to get, and unfortunately I can't shop at your sponsors either, but still, I find your channel EXTREMELY useful to help me find inspiration for recipes. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I've been trying to start keto back up but I've been procrastinating because I hate to give up childhood comfort foods. I have got to try this! Thank you!

Oh Wes, lol, I am a Northern girl and one of my favorite breakfast foods growing up was Cream of Wheat (made with milk and a splash of vanilla). Well, the first time I went south I found grits at a breakfast buffet. Hmmmm, looked like Cream of Wheat to me so I took some and added milk and sugar. It was coarser than CofW but tasted just as yummy. I since have come to love grits with cheese and I especially love Shrimp and grits. I do have your cookbook and look forward to trying your recipe!!!

Grits were something that I really missed when I went keto. My Dad was from Arkansas and he taught us to mash up our bacon and eggs with our grits. Now I use either riced cauliflower or miracle rice. It's close enough to satisfy my cravings. My favorite meal no matter what meal of the day it is.

I've never tried it but, there is a 'corn' extract on Amazon. I wonder if that would help any of these in a teeny amount? PS It always brightens my day exponentially to see your cute little face and videos. Keep 'em coming, my friend!

Here I am highly skeptical (because my family is from New Orleans and you can’t just substitute whatever for grits) but just watching because it’s you and I enjoy your videos but your face while trying them says it all. Now I’m gonna try these!

Great job, Wesley. I love Your honesty and trying so many recipes. YOU ROCK!!!

I was truly judging the almond flour grits!!!! I mean really judging lol... i love my cauliflower grits... but now i must try the almond flower grits, The look on your face lol.. love it

Finally a recipe that lives up to the poster on his wall.

“Youts “! Love that movie!… and sugar??? I saw somebody do that one time and thought they’d lost their mind, but I guess some folks do.

I just found you this past week on RU-vid & am so excited!! I love your videos & just ordered your book! Thank you for all you do, I made the lasagna last night & it was amazing! Can’t wait to try a few more this week to change up our menu🥰

I found your shrimp and cauliflower grits several years ago and it's still my wife's favorite thing for me to serve! I'll have to try these grits recipes. Thanks!

i was not raised on grits. i recently tried some while on vacation in south carolina(i know not keto but when on vacay.lol) i enjoyed them. thank you for these . will definitely be trying.

Wesley your video is perfect timing for me. I have been craving grits. I wonder if these would set up in the fridge after cooking. One of my favorite things to do with leftover grits is to refrigerate over night, slice and saute until golden brown.

So thankful I found this! 🙌 My old school southern fried mama moved in with me in 2020 when all the madness began and thanks to her deep South mostly carb cooking (+ working from home/lockdown/isolation) I gained almost 50lbs in a year! 😩 Trying to learn/cook keto/low-carb with her has been next to impossible so far, but hopefully a grits option will help.🙏

Thanks for the salt, pepper and butter shout out. Everyone says, "huh?" When I tell them how I like my grits. Granny & Papaw taught me, no sugar in my grits. It's not keto but Picante sauce is good in them too. I've done cheesey grits with shrimp....yummy!

i use to make a big pot of grits take a bowl out for i meal and the rest goes into a meatloaf glass pan and into the fridge. the next day i slice it and fry it in butter and then eat that with syrup.

This is why I became a patreon! Can't wait to try them, thank you!😊💗

You are such a joy to watch. I appreciate ALL your battles. So adorable!

omg Yes! I needed this in my life thank you!

I made the grits with the lupin beans and mannnnn let me tell you this is the best idea since slice cheese. I'm in love! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Ya know, your really good at this! Your presentation is smooth and very professional.

Another awesome video! Love the fact that both of these recipes doesn’t call for cauliflower. I love cauliflower, but only prepared and cooked a certain way.

Love, love, love this review!!!! You have a new follower!!!!!😍

I spent a couple of months subbing as director of a day care center years ago and thee cooks would bring me grits and eggs for breakfast. I felt like a queen, they were so good. I have almond flour in my freezer, it is a very good day, thanks, Wes!

We love your videos! Can you do a burger bun battle?

I had forgotten the grits bowl I used to make in the winter, this I will have to try this winter. Thank you for comparing the almond flour, your honest reaction was important because I can get almond flour almost anywhere and save the lupin flour for saving on shipping next time I make a online purchase.

Love me some grits with over easy eggs and sausage all mixed up together!! This will be a must try! Thanks for 2 fantastic results!

i miss grits when going low carb. i'm so tired of cauliflower. i'm definitely trying this!

Soooo looking forward to trying this. I still love my yeller grits and really miss them.

Thank you so much for this recipe. Wife and I are trying to make keto work AND we love grits!!!

Thank you for all you do, Wesley. I would love to see you do a Keto take on Cheese straws.

Yes! GRITS! I do miss my grits. I used to have a small bowl every morning.

🌺🍍Aloha Wes... Love all your videos, mahalo for all you do...🌴🥥 I've been making the ground lupin beans according to package directions occasionally for about a year now & they are light & fluffy & are a great replacement for couscous... It's also great with anything you spoon over rice. I hadn't thought to experiment with a grits replacement, but will now.

Grits have been one of the hardest things I had to give up THANKS so much going to try ASAP!!

Yeah!!!! Your on with a new video!!!! Happy to see you

I have been using the ground lupin for “grits” for a long time.

I worked at a high-end restaurant in FL & came to LOVE Chef Jason's "Louisiana-Style Grits" recipe~ seriously, some of THE best eating, ever. He never would tell me the entirety of components,~he was kinda selfish that way=)~ but they did have butter roasted baby crawfish/andouille sausage/aged white cheddar(just a little)/black pepper(lots!) and what I believe may have been some dry mustard, fresh thyme & Vidalia onion. I have re-created them at home, & gotten pretty close. I love to serve them w/a New York Strip steak & a crispy fried over medium egg- super hot pan, lots of butter & perfect timing on that~ as I'm sure you know. *Thanks so much Wes~ I'm excited to try both versions of these, & my husband will be especially thrilled if they work out. He's a big fan of grits, to say the least, & hasn't had them since going low carb. Thanks so much for sharing your skills & thoughts w/us mister~ Sam in AZ

I made the Lupin Grits and they ARE delicious!! I will try the almond flour recipe next time. Thank you .

Awesome video....thank you so much🧡🧡

I loved the taste of Keto Focus's Grits. That being said, I am not crazy of the texture. I got to thinking, my mom would soak fresh beans overnight. Lupin is a bean. I soaked the ground lupin overnight, I drained them and followed the recipe and this is GRITS!

I love this!! I have really missed grits! When you said Cyndi’s name I immediately thought of Whoville! (I so hear you about the napalm-I laughed til I started coughing!!) Thank you!!

I have tried to cook lupi n beans for chili, because of low net carb counts...honestly, you can cook lupin till the cows come home, and they don't soften. Love you, keep up the great work.

OMG I love that you sampled My Cousin Vinny. One of my favorites. I can totally relate. As an Italian NYer, I was that person at one point! (and am still kinda the same) haha

I love grits!!!! especially garlic-cheese-shrimp grits or bacon, cheese, green chili grits! I will NEVER give up REAL grits…can’t do it

Glad you mention how dangerous grits can be. When i was 6, my aunt was serving grits to us and as she passed over my hand on the table a drop fell on my hand. I carried the scar for 50 years. At 66 i still can show you a shinny spot where it was. Our family never used milk or cream in grits so not sure if i would like either recipe, but I'm willing to try.

Great video and thank you for all you do! The look on your face sold me. :) I feel like each of those are going to taste different in their own way! I can see my using the creamy one has a breakfast with maybe some cinnamon and low carb sweetener (sugar) and the cheesy one with my dinner.

I have NO IDEA how I missed this video especially when I LOVE GRITS!!! I will try this.

Love your videos! I want to say that I love using actual lupin flour for baking, I also make hummus from the whole lupini beans, but I cannot get over the texture of lupin *meal*. I have tried soaking it overnight and then cooking it for 3-4 hours. It DOES NOT get any softer.

Just picked up the book for my hubby as a Christmas gift! 😁 Wes, you ain't had a grit without grape jellay!! Love from Arkansas! 🌈❤️

Though a true southerner, I've never liked grits too much but on occasion I make them, I use butter plus bacon grease

The topic "does sugar belong in grits?" can end frienships 🤣

So excited to find this video and can see shrinp and keto grits in my future! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

YAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!! I love grits and can't wait to try these!

You might try putting that lupin flour through a blender beforehand. That ought to be more similar to the fine grain of the almond flour - and so end up smoother like the almond grits.

You are not kidding...we ain't freaking with sugar in our grits and you know it 😋

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ First off... I LOVE your channel!!!!! Also, I have really really REALLY missed grits on Keto! Thanks so much for doing this EPIC battle!!!!!!!!!!! You are my go to for fair and honest opinions when it comes to all the recipes you test for us! #siftkids

Great video. Thanks.

i been using the almond flour recipe after finding it on another channel. (maybe Cindi's) I love em with a couple eggs over easy on top of em, but as you said the only issue is the small portion size

Thank you so much! I REALLY miss grits!

Grits with cheese and butter and a couple of fried, over medium, eggs. Yum yum. But also, I eat grits and leftover white rice with milk and butter and sugar. Yum too ! Is it any wonder I'm looking at Keto recipes ? Lol

I loved grits with lots of salt and a little bit of bacon and bacon grease. Yum

I like a gritty texture to my grits. I make almond milk in my almond cow, dehydrate the pulp and mix it with the regular almond flour. To make "grits". Heaven!

Mmmmmmm grits,…. stiff with salt and cracked pepper mix in with my egg yolks! Or just with cheese Super yummy can’t wait to try the one without lupine flour thanks Wesley! YOU ROCK!

I love your work, thank you! I want to try the almond flour version, cauliflower and beans aren’t too good to my tummy. Cheesy (and sweet buttered 😝) grits are the best and I do miss them! I wonder if you could lighten them up with almond milk instead of heavy cream or sub out half?

I've made a recipe for paleo "malt-o-meal". Not sure about the nutritional facts towards if its lower carb or not. paleo malt o meal 1/4 cup almond meal 2 TBsp coconut flour 2 tsp ground flax seed 2 TBsp nut butter, I use unsweetened almond butter cinnamon to taste 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (Or I have found that unsweetened apple sauce works awesomely!!) Mix together and add 1-1 1/2 cups of hot water stirring till it reaches the consistancy you want.

Havent watched it yet, afraid to LOL dont mess with me over grits now!! I dont know if I can come back from that hopeful high🤣🤣 Edit: ok I watched and while I am still scared to have hope, I trust ya and have to try them, I MISS MY GRITS!

How would the almond grits be with a couple easy over eggs on top? Maybe with some smoked deer sausage for breakfast? Haven’t had grits in a couple years…

There is no diet worth giving up my grits with bacon, shrimp, sharp cheddar cheese, cream and butter. I have received many compliments.

I like to add in some sweet corn extract to the lupin flour grits- have not tried the almond flour as of yet- will have to try that too... thanks!

I like the idea of the almond flour grits, because almond flour is a staple in my keto pantry, less extra expense.

Interesting. I have been eating steel cut oatmeal. I’m going to try the CindyLooHoo recipe and maybe add a tablespoon of the steel cut oats for the texture. Thanks for the testing. ❤️

The almond flour was amaizing for grits

I'll be trying the almond flour for sure!

I just love your personality!

Highfalutin, what if you combine these recepies by mixing hslf & half of each and see what it tastes like??

"I only put salt butter and cheese in my grits". Amen! I can't wait to try this I miss grits!!

I'm definitely a butter and sugar grits person. Never tried cheese grits.

Thanks Wes

Grits are back??? Yeah, baby!
