What is great about Polenta is that is can be versatile to cook with too. Here is an easy to make recipe from the folks at Fork and Beans that brings you the comfort of a home cooked meal, but a super fast solution for snacks or mealtime.

For those of us on a low carb diet, this can be a good alternative in small amounts because, according to Medical News Today, it is rich in complex carbs, a good source of fiber, and it is gluten free, and a lot of other pluses!
