These look yummy. I have often heard of people using polenta in baking, but have not tried it myself yet. I think I will give these a go. Thanks!

Just got back from a trip which was very hard to eat but made it just fine. I will try this recipe and carry along next time, sounds good. All recipes are so much appreciated because I see everyone else eating and I have to just say no and sit and wonder what I can eat that is tasty. Thanks
