Blogging is all about people. People, who we manage to get in touch with and who are there with us.
Blogging is all about people. People, who we manage to get in touch with and who are there with us. Life is beautiful, but sometimes each one of us has a worse day. This is when I love blogging most, as I can share a piece of me over here and then reading sweet, supportive comments is something so beautiful. This is how I met Cynthia, she left a beautiful comment under one of my posts and then she kept leaving them. Meantime, I became a mom and it was a crazy period of my life, it still is actually as Mia is soon to be 2 years old. My life has changed and there were times that I really needed support. And I got it from a lot from you and Cynthia as well.
Now it’s Cynthia’s special time, she became a mom to Luke, third tiny bowl. He’s beautiful and he will rock his parents’ world. Congratulations!
Original recipe comes from The Guardian.
Recipe
You will need (for 2 people):
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup polenta
- salt and pepper
- 50g butter
- 100g cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 small onions
- few mushrooms
- thyme
- spinach leaves
Heat your oven to 200*C. Place small onions cut in half, mushrooms cut in help on a baking tray covered with a paper. Sprinkle fresh thyme and pour an olive oil over it. Bake for about 20 minutes.
Place water and milk in a pot and bring it to boil. Add polenta, salt and pepper and mix for about 15 minute over a medium heat. Add butter and mix it in, then add grated cheddar and mix it in as well.
Place polenta in a bowl and mix in baby spinach leaves, as many as you like. Decorate with mushrooms, onions and a bit more of cheese.
Enjoy, Marta

This polenta looks like everything I want — creamy, hearty, full of savory goodness from the mushrooms, just perfect! Thank you so much for taking part in this, Marta. Your kind words have touched my heart so much, just like your beautiful words about Mia over the years have always made me so excited to have a little one of my own. I’m so grateful to have met you through blogging so long ago now — truly one of the best things about blogging 🙂

It’s incredible. I feel like you were just giving birth to little Mia and that I just “met” Cynthia. That was super fast! And I too am grateful for the blogging community, specifically the food blogging community because I find it to be so full of people who just love and enjoy life.

Love polenta! And it pairs so well with mushrooms. And cheese, of course. Terrific dish — thanks.

Polenta for breakfast is my favorite! I usually only make it when we have leftover polenta from the night before, and I like to put an egg on it. There’s something so hearty and satisfying about it, like having dinner for breakfast!

I just wanna say that this is such a WONDERFULLY TOUCHING & HEART-WARMING creative idea & gesture ! This is going to make the parents of ‘B3’ so HAPPY ! It’s stuff like this that encourages me to continue blogging (even though I often feel like saying, “yeah, that’s enough, time to stop …”). Yet I soldier on. And yeah, oh how I wish-wish-wished I could have been part of this magical sharing moment too !!! Great job, take care & nice meeting you … georgie @ http://www.icookstuff.com 🙂

This bowl looks absolutely perfect. It’s so nice to read how many other food bloggers/moms there are out there. Your photos are amazing and I’m about to go deep on your blog!!

I really need to say this… just recently I was having a terrible day, I mean a really terrible day where I questioned nearly everything about me, my life, my goals, my needs, my projects. My writing and my blogging came top of it all, making me feel really depressed and good for nothing. That precise day you left a sweet comment on my blog. You have no idea what it meant to me. You have no idea how much it did me good. So thank you very much for that on a day when I really needed it <3.
Now, as for this recipe: Polenta is my biggest frustration. WHenever I see polenta I always think it looks sooooo good, so delicious, I wanna dig in and eat. But I hate polenta. And it is frustrating, because here I am looking at these pics and drooling about them, knowing I would probably need to make it mashed sweet potatoes instead of the polenta buahahahahah!!!

Oh Marta this pictures are lovely. Such a cute little bowl, I love how you’ve styled this. I have a box of polenta in the back of the cupboard and no idea what to do with it! You’ve inspired me. What could I use instead of mushrooms? Would bacon work? x
