Cornmeal will make excellent polenta. No stress, just follow the directions on the package and it should be fine. If you want it to be really firm, spread the prepared corn mush into a pan and leave it alone to cool for a few hours. And you can use anything- parchment paper, saran wrap, aluminum foil, or even thick gallon sized ziploc bags- for an cooling surface. Happy dining! I can't wait for your yummy recipes. -Sea Yup, no worries. Cornmeal will make excellent polenta. No stress, just follow the directions on the package and it should be fine.

I've postponed the chard and polenta soup to later in the week, but I'll let you know how it goes. It's so weird; I'm usually so confident in the kitchen, but I'm almost scared of polenta now after several failed attempts. I'm going to be calling you and See if this doesn't work =) Carrie, thanks for the encouragement. I’ve postponed the chard and polenta soup to later in the week, but I’ll let you know how it goes.

I'm hoping that cornmeal and saran wrap will work okay for the polenta. I'm realizing I'm still a bit gunshy to try it again. As for the Tofu/Cranberry/Arugula sandwich - I can definitely post on that. I got the idea from Simply Recipes, but Elise didn't post a recipe and she used turkey, so I guess I'm in the clear to actually post a recipe.

I hope they turn out well for you. I'm dying to hear about these Toasted Tofu Sandwiches with Cranberry Sauce and Arugula- you WILL be posting a recipe, right?
