Creamy Polenta
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/creamy_polenta.html
From EatingWell: September/October 2008This easy polenta takes only a few minutes of stirring before it's left to cook on its own to creamy perfection. If you have leftovers, chill them overnight in a greased pan, slice into slabs, brush with canola oil and broil until both sides begin to crisp. Serve as a side dish at supper or for breakfast with maple syrup or honey.
