This was yummy!! I exposed my family to polenta for the first time and it went over well. = ) I love the fact that I could make it ahead and save myself a lot of rush at dinner time. I sent this out the door with my dh along with some shrimp marinated in Italian seasonings, so all I had to do was fix a salad and dinner was done. Fast, simple, and tasty.....you can't ask for much more, except someone else to wash the dishes! Thanks, Charmie. Reviewed as part of ZWT 4 Summer '08.
