I originally blogged about the secret ingredient ::POLENTA:: on Monday.
First I blogged a bit about polenta to get you all excited about it, then I waited for the entries to come in. In the meantime, I had all this polenta to use up, so I made Five Flavor Polenta.
We got some really great entries and I am so excited to try them all!
The entries:
Caitlin from seebriderun.com with Sweet Polenta Hot Salad with sauces and Grilled Chicken Salad and Polenta Croutons.
Jess from seejessrun.com with Messy Polenta Pizza.
Shawna from gettingfitandhappy.com with Mexican Polenta Napoleon.
Megan from megansmunchies.blogspot.com with Black Bean Pumpkin Polenta Chili.
Krista from kristaskravings.blogspot.com with Polenta Shepherd’s Pie.
Shannon of tri2cook.blogspot.com with Chocolate Polenta Cake.
Heather of hangrypants.com with Pumpkin Polenta with Spinach and Garbanzo Beans.
Erin of caretoeat.net with Grilled Polenta with Tomato Cheese Topping.
Maggie at thesaladgirl.com with Polenta Stuffed Mexican Acorn Squash.
Christie at whatiateyesterday.wordpress.com with Creamy Blue Corn Polenta with Meat Sauce.
Melissa of rainforestgurl.blogspot.com with Polenta Lasagna.
Beth from biz319.wordpress.com with Garlic shrimp on sundried tomato polenta.
Jenn from eatingbender.wordpress.com with Egg McPolenta.
I hope I didn’t miss anyone’s recipes!!!
The winner:
I had a realllly tough time deciding on the winner and I didn’t feel right selecting since I feel like you are all equally my blog friends, so I had PB and my roomie (both excellent cooks!) decide… For them the first place winner was easy to decide… they loved Megan’s Black Bean Pumpkin Polenta Chili recipe!!!
Congratulations Megan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
