Cornmeal Mush

Submitted by bshemyshua

"This recipe came from a Mennonite community cookbook called "More with Less". With the weather getting cooler, I pulled out this recipe for breakfast the other morning. Yummy, nutritious and just good comfort food. I did a thorough search to make sure I wasn't duplicating a recipe before posting this. This is a little different from other cornmeal mush recipes I've tried because of a simple extra ingredient that makes it a little more creamy. Originally submitted to More with Less by Grace Geiser, Apple Creek, Ohio. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. :)"
