This was a quick Saturday night dinner when I just was out of ideas. It was quick in the way that I had the polenta squares and pesto in the freezer from big batches that I had made previously. The kids really liked the “bread”. 😉
My freezer is my friend when it comes to homemade meals in short timeframes. It is nice that I have stuff on hand that will produce healthy-ish meals for the family. Doing the preparation in one fell swoop instead of everytime I go to make a meal means I am more likely to cook than order something from a restaurant. We rarely eat out in our house. Why would we? I can make restaurant quality meals and Brian can pair it with a great wine. Win, win!
Basically, mix up the pesto round with a big can of crushed tomatoes and a tablespoon of honey. Reduce it down so it is nice and thick – about 15 minutes. Meanwhile grill the polenta on a stovetop griddle OR broil in the oven. I brushed the polenta with a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
Eat!
Thanks Stacy, because of you I am going to have to invent the Virtual diet….LOL
I’m glad that Brian doesn’t post more about wine choices or I would have join a virtual AA…
HHHHmmmmmm I might be onto something here…..*grin*
