This was really good! I loved fried mush so I had to try this and I did enjoy it. I topped mine with some sugar and lowfat milk for a great healthy breakfast - thanks for sharing your recipe!

Quick and easy, warm and satisfying recipe. We love this with a little bit of butter. It's easily adaptable so everyone gets what they want. At our house, some like it sweet and others prefer savory. Choosing our favorite add-ins makes this a fun, simple family meal.

*Siiiiiigh* Man there is nothing like a hot bowl of this on a chilly, rainy morning. It brings me back to my childhood faster than anything else I know. Thanks for posting this recipe. Just like my mother used to make!

Sunday nights, my mom would cook this for supper. I always loved it. My favorite way of eating it was adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of it. Thanks for posting it.

As a true fan of both polenta and my morning bowl of oats, not sure why I forget that cornmeal makes for delicious and wholesome breakfast fare. I topped mine with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and enjoyed every bite. Made for 1-2-3 hit Wonders.
