Creamy Polenta

I ended up having to take my son back to the doctor today.  He just wasn't getting any better, after being on the antibiotic for 2 1/2 days.  They gave me a stronger antibiotic.  She told him in 24 hours he would feel like a new man!  I really hope that she is right!

I struggle with side dishes almost every night.  My family does not agree on vegetables, unless it is corn on the cob.  I like most veggies steamed or sauteed.  Husband, not so much.   He has a select few that he likes, but they happen to be the ones I don't!  So when I can find something that suits us both, it makes it into the rotation often.  This Polenta is one of those we both love!

2 cups Milk
1 cup Chicken Broth (or 1 cup water, 1 bouillon cube)
3/4 cup uncooked polenta
1/2 tsp Salt
3 oz reduced fat cream cheese

Simmer milk and broth together over medium heat.  Gradually add polenta.  Cook for approx. 20 minutes, or until thick and bubbly, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat, stir in salt and cream cheese.

We eat this a lot with pork chops, but it would go well with just about anything!
