Blue Cheese Grits - x/p DePepperMan & Chile-Heads

[Guest guest]

This was tonight's side dish and it was utterly delicious. I only had a

little as I am still following the moderate low carb thing. It was

incredible. In the old days, I would've eaten 2 servings. Large servings.

 

It is far from low fat but I lowered the fat a bit by using egg substitute

and lowfat milk. I know the blue cheese has a ton of fat so this is how I

lowered it. I didn't feel as guilty.
