Polenta for Breakfast?

 

Yes Please!!

 

So one of the reason I love to make cornbread is so that I can have a piece with warm milk and maple syrup for breakfast the next day.

 

That is what this warm breakfast cereal is based on.  First I boiled 3 cups of water with a pinch or two of salt, once boiling whisk in 1 cup of Polenta (also known as Corn Grits), I used Bob's Red Mill brand.  Simmer for 10 min. whisking often.  If it seems to be getting to thick cover for the last five minutes.  When there is one minute left stir in about 1/2 cup of Sweetened Soy Milk*.  Garnish with your favorite hot cerel fare.  I love mine with a dab of Earth Balance and a drizzle of Maple Syrup.

 

 

A healthy whole grain breakfast with the added soy protein.  It also reminds me of the corn fritters my Grandma used to make me!  So good, this will be a staple breakfast in my house from now on.

 

 

* I like to use Sweetened Soy Milk in hot cereal and tea because then I don't need to add additional sweeteners.  I always use the enriched soy milk for the calcium and vitamins.
