  1. These were wonderful!
     
  2. I used a combination of parmesan and cheddar cheeses and pesto instead of the basil. I pan fried it and served it with marinara sauce. Absolutely delicious!
     
  3. I really liked this, but no one in my family would eat it. They are picky.
     
  4. This was yummy!! I exposed my family to polenta for the first time and it went over well. = ) I love the fact that I could make it ahead and save myself a lot of rush at dinner time. I sent this out the door with my dh along with some shrimp marinated in Italian seasonings, so all I had to do was fix a salad and dinner was done. Fast, simple, and tasty.....you can't ask for much more, except someone else to wash the dishes! Thanks, Charmie. Reviewed as part of ZWT 4 Summer '08.
     
  5. Will make this again - baked in oven and loved the way it turned out nice and crispy!
