Reading the recipe, I felt it would be a bit bland. I do not do WW..so added chopped turkey, carrots, onions and homemade Pesto...delicious. I do think, next time, I will cut back on the amount of polenta. It is a bit much I think.

    I really enjoyed this. It was quick to prepare, and Tish's directions were very clear. This seems like a flexible recipe, too...I'll probably try it in the future with different veggies, just for the fun of it. Thanks for the recipe!

    I just loved this dish! Although, I must say, I did leave out the mushrooms--they don't like me too much I used carrots, onions, and cauliflower in the pie as well, and left out the cheese and butter. Oh, I also used broth instead of just plain water, for more flavor since I left out the butter and cheese. I think it came out very well; in fact, I was so hungry by the time it was done, I couldn't even wait the thirty minutes for it to cool All the same, it was an excellent meal. Thank you so much Tish for a new favorite meal!

    This was nice. I used soy milk instead of regular (I was just out) and instead of all broccoli I used a mix. I think I preferred the mix over straight broccoli; it gave it nice texture. I also used 2 small garden tomatoes instead of a roma. Nice main course. The flavor of the dried mushrooms was very strong. We like that, but it was very noticeable. The kids ate some; my picky one only ate the veggies out of it. I served it at room temp. and my husband said he thought he would prefer it hot. Thanks for something good to try!
