Question: Have you tried any of the polenta or cornmeal recipes? Do you like them? Should I keep posting them?

Yes and yes! I make my weekly meals off your friday post. We love Polenta.
I made this for dinner last night and OMG! It was deeeeelish. I didn’t have chili powder so I sub’d cayenne and I won’t do that again but it was so good anyway. One of my fav’s so far!
