Notes

How to Sotre & Reheat these Cauliflower Grits
  • Fridge: Keep any leftover grits in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll stay good for about 3 to 4 days, so go on and make a batch ahead if you're planning for the week!
  • Reheating: Warm them up in the microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat. Just add a splash of cream or milk to bring back that creamy texture.
