Inner kid and the polenta
![_dsc1713.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRxe1pTRaEn8XKYhfNBA3URtTYgxTeetnmEhFHQwkDq3G/_dsc1713.jpg)

Being an adult and a bratty kid at the same time is a tough mission, but in the end, I have to come along with myself.

Even when an inner kid is rolling and kicking with legs against the floor, screaming for cookies, and refuses anything that comes in healthy form.

Then I have to get a proper welder and convince this sugar princess that having a few extra vitamins won't hurt! 

**It's a habit, a bad habit that I developed again within time, and yes I do enjoy melting that sweet sugar in my mouth but I will rather choose that light feeling after a meal than a bloated belly (it annoys, really).**

Polenta coarsely ground corn grits, pretty boring in itself but if a little spicy up, it can be a great meal!
Rich in carbohydrates, and does not contain too much gluten, to which I have obviously been very sensitive in recent months.

**BUT I LOVE BREAD!**

But I also decided to take a break from it.

Replacement? Well, polenta, of course, baked with spinach and cheese and leeks, and that's all.

I honestly never knew how to measure the water and polenta ratio, so this is deductive for a tray measuring 36x28cm.

Half stick leeks, 8 frozen spinach briquettes. About spaces, a few evenings ago I was in the rush (ofc) for some instant yummy meal, so I simply cooked polenta and spiced it with shallot, I liked the taste, a lot!

So shallot, salt, and pepper are the stars, turmeric doesn't influence a taste too much if only a pinch is added, I needed it for yellowish color this time.

Boil the water, add a spoon of olive oil or butter (I had butter), join the spices, and stir until it's creamy and thick.

Spinach preparation is piece of cake, crystalize the leeks first, then add yet frozen briquettes, and simmer at a moderate temperature.

Mush the cheese, if you can find one that crumbles more, homemade the best - **damn, I remember my mom made awesome cow cheese (drooling a bit now)**, this I had is feta, more creamy, but still able to keep the chunk form while baking.

A bit later, everything is mixed up, chees added, now hop in the tray and bake it while having a bath and second coffee, have no idea how much time simply said.

Keep in mind that polenta is pretty low on fats, so oil the tray well and decide the level of crunchines.

Smoking hot! #foodporn moment

Smells really homey, crunchy layer and creamy chees, and spinach. This could be easily prounanced as fake burek, has the taste.

Take care not to have it on a plastic board, it won't melt, just rickets consequences.

Cool it off a bit before cutting, it won't take long.
Next to it, two hard-boiled eggs and a spoon of [ajvar.](https://www.ajvar.com/en/)

A sweet treat, one apple, two spoons of peanut butter, and strawberries on the top, **I've been good kiddo!**
