Turning food into french fries instantly makes them more appealing..case in point? This baked millet polenta fries recipe.
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know I’m always talking about how the texture of food totally changes everything, and can turn a food you normally wouldn’t touch into one that you crave (see Sweet Potato Spaghetti). Polenta is simply cornmeal that’s boiled into a porridge like consistency, and then cooled into a log shape that can then be sliced. Boiled and solidified cornmeal doesn’t sound exciting, but the texture and consistency of that stuff makes it just heavenly.
This recipe is made with millet instead of the typical corn. (I’m not a huge fan of corn, although I do have it on occasion, and when I do, it’s always organic, to avoid GMOs). If you can find organic corn polenta, you could use that, although cooking times may vary.
Millet is a whole grain that resembles quinoa when dry, but when cooked, tastes much different. It can become fluffy like rice or creamy like polenta, depending on how much water you use to cook it. And when you dry roast it prior to cooking, it develops a delicious nutty flavor.
This recipe for baked polenta fries is easy to make and would make a fun side or even a healthy party appetizer.
*NOTE: For most healthy people, a small amount of millet here and there can fit into an overall healthy diet. However, for people with thyroid issues or iodine deficiency, it’s best to avoid millet, as it may produce goitrogenic effects and cause issues with the thyroid. (source).

I help busy women lose weight or clear up their acne by developing healthier eating habits, based on a plant-based paleo diet.
As you may be aware by now, cauliflower can be anything, including cauliflower oatmeal. This relatively easy to prepare and quick recipe may become a staple in your morning rotation.
Matcha tea offers a plethora of benefits, but if I'm honest with you, it tastes a little too much like grass to me. While I can't get it down as a hot tea, I do love it as an iced coconut matcha latte. I can drink one every day!
