Chili Polenta Bake

Dinner· Recipes

FacebookTweetPin
2 Jan

Tonight’s dinner is super easy and can be made vegetarian or not. I needed to use up some polenta and had a few cans of chili – combine for a easy, tasty recipe!IMG_3716

Ingredients: Polenta roll (prepared), 2 cans of vegetarian chili, spinach and shredded cheese.

Directions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice polenta and place on the bottom of a pan. I used a polenta roll with sun-dried tomato and garlic.IMG_3705 Cut or tear spinach leaves and place on top of polenta. Top with two cans of chili and spread evenly. Sprinkle it with cheese. Bake until hot and cheese is melted.IMG_3707

It didn’t transfer to a plate very gracefully, but it was tasty! Well, it was delicious according to Ben. I didn’t eat it because I used meat chili and wanted something else anyways.IMG_3721

Before dinner I had some fruit. I’ve been craving fruit all day!IMG_3708

I made a huge salad for myself with tons of veggies, hummus and a veggie burgerIMG_3712

and toast with spreadable feta on the side 🙂IMG_3719

Now Ben and I am watching Lost. Can you say addicted?

I’m also wearing my warming neck pillow I got for Christmas 🙂 Thanks Mom!IMG_3724

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But think about if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its niche. Awesome blog!

      Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

      Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or some thing. I feel that you just could do with a few % to pressure the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent weblog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

      I admire you for getting out there today in the wind! (I’m in NoVA) Tomorrow I need to get 8 miles in and I’m dreading the cold/wind already! However, my marathon training is just beginning just as yours is about done.
      The chili/polenta looks fantastic!!

      Lost is evil. I decided to try the first season last year, and before I knew it I was completely addicted and couldn’t stop until I was completely caught up. Madness!

      I’ve never had polenta…feel like I’m missing out now.

      Oh, I admire you for preparing something separate for Ben. I need to be better about preparing separate meals to satisfy different palates!

      Your neck warmer reminds me of one my mom made for herself – out of an old sock and rice – just heat it up in the microwave!

      You know I have never cooked with polenta. I don’t know why – it always look so good, and I need to find some with sun dried tomatoes and garlic. I think I would love it.

      I love those neck warmers. I think they use to sell them at Origins, and they were filled with lavender or something. Smelled amazing, and perfect for a cold winter night in Maryland. Stay warm my friend and thank you so much for my birthday card. So sweet, and yes, it was funny. 🙂

      Happy New Year Monica!
