It's really easy to make yourself, and when you make it yourself, it seems to have a better texture than those tubes, plus you can control what spices go into it. I made a polenta lasagna a few nights ago, and made the polenta with half chicken broth/half water, a few cloves of garlic, some cayenne pepper and salt. I poured it into 2 loaf pans and refridgerated. They solidified into nice layers for the lasagna. For the filling I did tomatoe sauce, kale, roasted red peppers, olives and cheese. It was seriously amazing! I LOVE polenta!

I tried this recipe today and added a thin slice of turkey kielbasa to each one. I LOVED it, though my husband wasn't thrilled with the polenta. :) Hi Roni,

The polenta is pretty bland so I topped it with a mixture of black beans, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, black olives and ff cheese. I garnished mine with a smidge of ff yoghurt and cilantro...these were YUMMY! Thanks for the super idea Roni! I went the Mexican route with these.

Those look yummers! I love looking at all of your creative creations. I had been meaning to make the zuchinni ones, but ended up using them for something else. Tonight I think I'll make the tortilla pizzas. I use flat-out brand tortillas and I've been making them forever now. (And since I'm not going out...I can pump up the garlic powder, which makes them spectacular! Who doesnt love garlic?) It's one of my fav meals- I'll post a picture on my blog tonight. Polenta is something I've always been intimidated by...I love corn meal though, maybe I'll try this someday! haha Oh and your son is adorable. I wish I could babysit for you!! Roni!

I though of maybe adding chives or green onions but my daughter won't eat anything grenn and speckly! Also, I'd like to try a wonton version of a jalapeno popper or stuffed mushroom. I thought those might be a good alternative to a fried appetizer. Also, try adding roasted red peppers to your homemade hummus. It gives it a nice taste and a pretty color. A few ideas for you-

Add polenta in a thin stream and whisk it until it's mixed in. Then cook over medium heat, still whisking, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer. Every 10 minutes, uncover and stir for a minute. Cook about 45 minutes total. You can serve it warm right away, and it has a creamy consistency like thick grits or cream-of-wheat. Or, if you let it get cold, it will solidify and you can slice it and fry it like you do for the pizza bites. Hope that helps! Bonnie –
