Hey Wesley, I was looking for the best recipe for Keto Hamburger Buns and doing a search on your vids, I can't see that you've one a video on them yet. Am I just not finding the video or am I making a recommendation for one in the future?
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!
James, this may be the sweetest comment on any video I’ve ever had. So great to see such love and support for your spouse. Best of luck to the both of you! 👍🏻👍🏻💜💜
James may I suggest that she make a YT channel that’s just her keto recipes? I would like to subscribe & have alerts, but don’t want alerts for non-keto videos. Just a suggestion…
That was just what I was going to ask him if the corn extract would help it taste more like grits. Love my Wes. Wish he would sing again he has such a wonderful voice. His show on the food network could be Wes Shoemaker the singing Keto chef.
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!
"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.
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!
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!
There is another UA-camr, 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!
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!!!
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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!
It does! For a 12 oz bag of cauli rice & ½ a cup of almond flour's batch worth of grits, I add 1/8th of a tsp of Amoretti sweet corn extract. Also, some cream and some cheese.
@@sherryrethwisch9589 I shared my keto sweet cornbread muffin recipe with Steve over at Serious Keto, and I always use sweet corn extract in it. It's the best!
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
They are VERY smooth - which was nice! I always purchase finely ground almond flour from blanched almonds, but I’m curious how the texture would be with a more roughly-ground almond meal. I may try it and report back!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I love me some grits and I totally agree with the Sugar comment 😂😂🤪🤣😂😂 I have both types of almond flour, I may have to do a little bit of creating!!! Thank you for this one, I am still intrigued
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. ❤️
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 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.
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.
@HighfalutinLowCarb I really appreciate you! I just got your cookbook from Amazon and searched your Amazon list. I didn't really need or already had the items on the list, but I used your link to add some ghee to my cart to pick up the affiliate link and got the large lupin meal and a couple of other things. I know the ebook went through but hope the other items did!
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.🙏
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.
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 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.
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!
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
🌺🍍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.
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.
Your dry pan at the beginning in the almond version made me think that maybe lightly toasting the almond flour before adding the water might give a nuttier flavor to the grits. I find just baking up some ricotta cheese works great as a grits substitute. Many recipes on line. Some use egg but it really isn't needed.
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
I just found you this past week on UA-cam & 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'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.
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.
If you haven't yet, try sweetening this with Bochasweet or allulose. No minty cooling effect like sugar alcohols, or bitter aftertaste like stevia/monkfruit. And Bochasweet is 1:1 with sugar. It goes great on my grapefruit.
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. ❤️
I agree with you on the salt, pepper, butter, and/or cheese! My husband and son add LOTS of sugar and butter🤯 I work at Cracker Barrel and it drives me mad when people order sweets to go in their grits! I’ve heard everything…maple syrup, grape jelly, chocolate syrup (from the sundaes), the apple dumpling topping🧐, flavored tea syrup, molasses, everything! In my opinion if ya wanna make em sweet then why not just make cream of wheat?!
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?
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.
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…
Cauliflower "grits" just tastes like cauliflower to me. I've tried toasting chia seeds. Close, but still too watery and too "grassy". I'm walking to the kitchen right now to try the almond recipe. . . . . . Well, those were really good! Did not expect a slightly gritty texture, but it was there. And I put some in the fridge and they reheated really well. I did have to cook them longer than the recipe said to get the right thickness, though.
Try adding a little Amoretti sweet corn extract (it's expensive but can be used very sparingly!). Like, I use an 1/8th of a tsp. per batch of grits and it's enough.

Thanks so much for sharing your skills & thoughts w/us mister~ Sam in AZ
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.
We love your videos! Can you do a burger bun battle?
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.
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!
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!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Wife and I are trying to make keto work AND we love grits!!!
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 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!
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 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.
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.
@HighfalutinLowCarb I really appreciate you! I just got your cookbook from Amazon and searched your Amazon list. I didn't really need or already had the items on the list, but I used your link to add some ghee to my cart to pick up the affiliate link and got the large lupin meal and a couple of other things. I know the ebook went through but hope the other items did!
Great job, Wesley. I love Your honesty and trying so many recipes. YOU ROCK!!!
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.🙏
So excited to find this video and can see shrinp and keto grits in my future! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Hope you like it!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I'm sure I will. I trust your Southern roots.😁. Already added items to the grocery list for this weekend! 😋
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.
I love that movie... my cousin vinny. I liked your other grits clip and am curious about but haven't had the chance to try grits... as an aussie.
You are such a joy to watch. I appreciate ALL your battles. So adorable!
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!!
Soooo looking forward to trying this. I still love my yeller grits and really miss them.
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.
YAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!! I love grits and can't wait to try these!
I made the Lupin Grits and they ARE delicious!! I will try the almond flour recipe next time. Thank you .
I have NO IDEA how I missed this video especially when I LOVE GRITS!!! I will try this.
I have been using the ground lupin for “grits” for a long time.
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!
Yeah!!!! Your on with a new video!!!! Happy to see you
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!
This is why I became a patreon! Can't wait to try them, thank you!😊💗
Thanks for the support, Jody! 💜💜
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
You gotta eat em like we do in Galveston, Texas. With smoked Gouda cheese!!!
🌺🍍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.
I bought two bags, so I’ll try it as written couscous-style!
I like the idea of the almond flour grits, because almond flour is a staple in my keto pantry, less extra expense.
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.
I've been using hemp hearts in place of grits
The almond flour was amaizing for grits
I loved grits with lots of salt and a little bit of bacon and bacon grease. Yum
Yess! Yum! 💜
Grits have been one of the hardest things I had to give up THANKS so much going to try ASAP!!
Your dry pan at the beginning in the almond version made me think that maybe lightly toasting the almond flour before adding the water might give a nuttier flavor to the grits.
I find just baking up some ricotta cheese works great as a grits substitute. Many recipes on line. Some use egg but it really isn't needed.
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!
Though a true southerner, I've never liked grits too much but on occasion I make them, I use butter plus bacon grease
I'll be trying the almond flour for sure!
Since I have almond flour I’m gonna try the almond flour recipe, and I may add a cornbread extract. That might help with the corn taste
Love, love, love this review!!!! You have a new follower!!!!!😍
I just love your personality!
Finally a recipe that lives up to the poster on his wall.
I just found you this past week on UA-cam & 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🥰
Highfalutin, what if you combine these recepies by mixing hslf & half of each and see what it tastes like??
I did while I was cleaning up and it was great! The texture of the two combined was nice!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb It would be cool if you did a series of these types of combos!😀😊
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.
We like the ground lupin for grits but you may could try the flour instead of just ground beans for the smoother texture .....
Awesome video....thank you so much🧡🧡
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.
If you haven't yet, try sweetening this with Bochasweet or allulose. No minty cooling effect like sugar alcohols, or bitter aftertaste like stevia/monkfruit. And Bochasweet is 1:1 with sugar. It goes great on my grapefruit.
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. ❤️
I agree with you on the salt, pepper, butter, and/or cheese! My husband and son add LOTS of sugar and butter🤯 I work at Cracker Barrel and it drives me mad when people order sweets to go in their grits! I’ve heard everything…maple syrup, grape jelly, chocolate syrup (from the sundaes), the apple dumpling topping🧐, flavored tea syrup, molasses, everything!
In my opinion if ya wanna make em sweet then why not just make cream of wheat?!
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
I'm from the UK and my American bf keeps mentioning grits and now I will attempt them keto style 😁
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?
Girl my mouth is crying right now because i want some sweet grits like my grandma makes em!
Wes what was the other brand that you didn't like of the lupin bean flour
I didn’t care for the Lupina brand of lupin flour. VERY “earthy.”
I've been looking for a low carb ice cream recipe. I didn't find one in your video library.
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.
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…
That would be a FANTASTIC breakfast (or a weeknight “breakfast-for-dinner.”) My family is full of hunters, so I love me some good deer sausage!
Cauliflower "grits" just tastes like cauliflower to me. I've tried toasting chia seeds. Close, but still too watery and too "grassy". I'm walking to the kitchen right now to try the almond recipe. . . . . . Well, those were really good! Did not expect a slightly gritty texture, but it was there. And I put some in the fridge and they reheated really well. I did have to cook them longer than the recipe said to get the right thickness, though.
Try adding a little Amoretti sweet corn extract (it's expensive but can be used very sparingly!). Like, I use an 1/8th of a tsp. per batch of grits and it's enough.
Some shrimp over those cheese "grits" yum!!!
