Today was a productive/lazy Sunday. We did some chores, went for a run (3 miles) watched the Columbus Crew (Pro Soccer) win the MLS Championship. Good weekend for Columbus sports! Brady’s parents and brother came over to watch the game, and we had dinner before they left.

For dinner, I gave them the option of risotto or polenta, two unfamiliar things. They chose polenta and I was excited to make it for the first time. I used the Cooking Light recipe of Two Cheese Polenta, but made some modifications.

Two Cheese Polenta

modified from Cooking Light.

• 4 c. skim milk (it called for 1% but we only had skim)
• 1 c. water
• 1 1/4 c. corn grits (polenta, I used Bob’s)
• salt and pepper
• 3 pieces of light Cabot cheddar cheese- cut up (I didn’t have mascarpone)
• M1/4 c. parmesan cheese

Boil milk and water together and then slowly add polenta. Cook, while stirring, for 2 min. and then add cheeses and serve!

Plus… we had BBQ chicken pizza that was going to be an appetizer, but never made it.

And a salad with pepitas, apples and feta.Also, some acorn squash baked with a little maple syrup.

We had pork tenderloin too, but no pic. Sorry. I actually did not try it, but the marinate we used (lemon pepper) smelled really strong!

I am up for an early morning workout then a two day week ahead! Yay for Thanksgiving week!!
