Polenta
We made an Italian recipe of my Italian Grandmother�s. When I was a kid she used to make this and put it on the dining room table and all of the kids would pull up a chair and a fork and go to town. We used to make shapes out of what we didn�t eat. Meaning we�d scrape away the food into pictures.
I have only good memories eating this food. It�s Italian food so cheap you could feed an army on very little money and they�d never be unhappy with it. Rick had it today and liked it well enough to go back for more.
This recipe minus the salt and the sauce and sausage on top can be made into an excellent breakfast with syrup and butter served on top in a bowl with a bit of half and half drizzled on top. Excellent breakfast.
