Summer Cookin' - Summer Veggies with Sun-dried Tomato Polenta

The other night (after Jeremy had made this fantastic chicken dish with rice and a light, summery pesto gravy, and just ridiculous amounts of goodness) I thought to myself that I really need to start keeping a record of some of the amazing meals we cook. From fish with caramelized onions and peaches (my recipe) to Asian-barbecued chicken on the grill (all Jeremy), we eat pretty well around here.

Especially so these days, as summer is right around the corner! I thought it'd never happen but flowers are in full bloom, the trees and the land are green, and the farmer's market starts back up this Saturday in Golden. I am so excited to go and grab some of the freshest veggies to blocks away from where I live.

I digress, this post is about the first meal I'm writing about: Summer Veggies with Sun-dried Tomato Polenta.

I have to start by saying that Jeremy is an awesome, adventurous cook. He's a lot more brazen about jumping into a recipe and trying something totally new. In this case the something new was polenta (basically corn meal). I know he wasn't too much of a fan of it, but the recipe came out great. Because out humble town of Golden doesn't sell the kind of polenta you can slice and broil, Jeremy made his from a box of instant polenta and then broiled his own hand made polenta cakes! The finished product was tasty:
