made this for dinner. it was ok, not the best but not bad either. just average.
I thought it was really good! The goat cheese adds a nice tang. Maybe you just didn’t add enough seasoning?
Honestly, I found it kinda bland too. Not sure if I’d try it again, you know?
This was just what I needed! So creamy and delicious!
Super easy to make. My kids actually ate it, which is a win for me!
I’m glad your kids liked it! My little ones are so picky, but this might be worth a try. Thanks!
Y’all, this is real good. Goat cheese is bomb! 😍
Absolutely! Goat cheese really takes it to the next level! 🧀✨
Not bad but it could use more flavor. Tried adding garlic, which was better!
Too mushy for my taste. I thought polenta was supposed to be firmer.
I never tried polenta before and I am surprised! This is simple and tastes delicious! I’ll make it again!
I’m not really into goat cheese. Can you use mozzarella instead? This look nice tho.
This is the perfect side! I served it with grilled chicken. Yum!
I think you forgot to mention how long to boil the water… ? I just winged it.
This was too bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning. Might try adding garlic next time.
Polenta? Isn’t that just Italian grits? Can you even call this a recipe??
Absolutely loved this recipe! So creamy and full of flavor. I added some sautéed spinach and it was perfect!
How can you ruin a dish with cheese? It’s good but not amazing…
Cheese makes everything better! Maybe you just need to add more flavors next time?
I added some roasted vegetables on top and it was a hit with the fam. Thanks!
I don’t get why people like goat cheese. It’s kinda weird, tastes like a barn.
I get what you mean! Some people just can’t handle that strong flavor. But in this recipe, the creamy polenta balances it out really well. You might be surprised!
Goat cheese is amazing! It has a unique taste that can elevate any dish. Maybe you just haven’t found the right recipe yet!
Made it twice this week! Love the flavors!
