Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, bring 5 cups water and the milk to a gentle boil. Add the polenta, along with a good amount of salt and pepper, and stir constantly for about 5 minutes.
-
Turn the heat down to low, partially cover the pot and allow the polenta to simmer for about 20 minutes, giving it a stir every 5 minutes; depending on the size of your polenta or cornmeal, it may take more or less cooking time to become creamy.
-
Turn the heat off, add the butter and cheese and give everything a good stir until the butter and cheese melt. Keep in mind that polenta hardens as it sits, so eat up!

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Polenta that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
