Who knew that Corn Grits and Polenta are the same thing? Seriously, who knew? I sure didn’t.

Is my anti-domestic goddess showing?

Meh, it’s no surprise that I have no idea what I’m doing in the kitchen. I clean one like no one’s business, but cooking in it – that’s a whole other story!

Anyhow, like I said in my last post, Bob’s Red Mill has rolled out a new line of Gluten Free Corn Products. And who am I to ignore a good GF product just because I don’t know what to do with it! So, in comes Fiance and BCFF. Last night, we all got together and made dinner with this new found wonder called Corn Grits/Polenta.

We made Polenta Stuffed Peppers. And they were great. The recipe is a little intimating when you have no idea what the difference between simmer and boil is – but we made it through. And they turned out great.

You will notice that the recipe calls for lots of cheese and no meat. This was not going to work in our house. So we substituted the cheese with the lactose free variety, and we also added ground beef. You can take away Fiance’s gluten and even his lactose, but there is no taking away his protein. I think he’d leave me if I announced I was a vegetarian!

Verdict: Yummy. Try it. Love it.

Now my next adventure is to figure out how to make those grits recipes that I always see on shows like: Diners, Drive-In’s & Dives, and Rachel Ray. I think the first step is knowing that grits are also referred to as polenta!
