I am 100% a creature of habit when it comes to my food. If I find something I like, chances are I will probably eat it atleast 5x a week… kinda like the time I made kale chips everyday for a month straight (now, I can’t even be in the same room as kale! ICK.), or my current obsession with having carrot pasta for dinner nearly every night (that, I don’t’ think I will ever get sick of. It’s just too damn good).
…& now, the newest addition to my food-routine is this uber yummy gluten free grits recipe. Maybe it’s my southern roots, or my Pop Pop’s obsession with this hot cereal growing up, but I have always been a fan of a good bowl of grits.
Back in my hay-day, when I could eat whatever the eff I wanted without gaining a single pound (tear), I ate my grits loaded with butter and a good deal of S&P. Now, I can’t quite get away with that, so I have modified & came up with a healthy & super delish version of one of my all time favorite breakfast treats.
It’s totally my new brekky jam, & will soon be yours too. Trust!!
