Recipe:
Polenta Pizza Crust

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water  
  • 1 cup water mixed with 1 c cornmeal  
  • 1T Italian seasoning

Directions

Bring 3 cups water to boil. Slowly add cornmeal mixture and seasonings. Lower heat to low and cook until thickened.
Pour into desired dishes to make "crust". The thinner the better.
Place in fridge and allow to set for a couple hours.
Heat oven to 400 and cook "crust" for 30 minutes. Turn over and cook another 30 minutes.
Crust can be left in fridge covered until ready to use. DO not bake until ready to use or will soften too much.
After cooked... top with desired ingredients return to oven and cook until toppings are heated through.
I will add cheese to the "crust for a different taste...or change the seasonings.

  2. Your meals look so yummy and not at all like diet food. You're doing a fab job Trish, I see in your tab that you already lost 10+ lbs. Thats fanastic!

    I'm trying also but what seems to hinder me the most is the time it takes me to cook =( Need to figure out how to prepare food quickly that both my boys and I will eat. Having to prepare several meals is just not something that I will do.
