5 Minute Dinner – Creamy Polenta Bowl

A few nights ago I was hungry for dinner yet had no clue as to what to make. While staring at my pantry I came up with this easy to make and oh so comforting meal. The best part is that you can customize it with ingredients you have on hand. This bowl warmed me right up and kept me full all night long!

Creamy Polenta Bowl (for one)

  • one serving corn grits / polenta (I use Bob’s Red Mill polenta)
  • 1/4c [nondairy] milk
  • 1/2c water
  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2c broccoli florets
  • Earth Balance
  • Parmesan cheese
  • garlic powder and Italian Seasoning

Combine all ingredients from corn grits through broccoli in a bowl and stir. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir again. Heat through until grits / polenta is cooked all the way through. Stir in seasonings and Earth Balance. Top with cheese and hot pepper (optional but encouraged!)
