oh yeah! everybody loved this. I didn't use the optional veggies. there was just a little left over that the kids ate for breakfast. I used cheddar because I had it on hand. YUM! Thank you! Made for Aussie swap 3/11.

I liked the polenta part, but for some reason the mushrooms ruined it for me..which is odd, because usually I love mushrooms. I'm not sure if I'll make this again, but if I do, I'll make it without the mushrooms next time. [made for Aus/NZ Recipe swap #22]
