Pre-Made Polenta Can Be Nice

Precooked polenta can be found in the grains section of the grocery store for about $3. Slice, cover in tomato sauce, cheese, fresh basil if you have some, then bake.

It is a good substitute for lasagna. Polenta, even the pre made stuff, is lower in calories though higher in sodium compared to pasta. My blood pressure is low, so it works out for me.


It may not be super gourmet- but this makes a ton of food for cheap and it requires no prep. Don't judge me.
