Italian Sausage and Greens with Gorgonzola Polenta

We had this recipe the other night and we fell in love with Gorgonzola and Polenta.  Think upscale cheesy grits.  Mmmm.  My mouth is watering now thinking about it!  So what is polenta you ask?  It's super easy to make - and really similar to the texture of grits - combine 4 parts liquid to 1 part cornmeal.  Whisk until smooth and season.  Endless possibilities here folks!

The salty kick from the Italian sausage combined with the crunchy green broccoli and creamy polenta made for the perfect bite.  And the best part is this delicious dinner was on the table in 15 minutes.  For real.  Perfect for a busy night... aaaaaannnnnnndd in less time than it takes to cook a frozen pizza!

Pork Tenderloin with Broccoli and Gorgonzola Polenta

This was one of the first recipes I made in our new home.  It didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped so I was just going to skip posting it.  But, for better or worse, right?!  This meal wasn't bad, it just wasn't the fantastic thing I'd hoped it would have been.  The reason?  The red wine made the pork tenderloin look purple.  Weird color.  Maybe next time I'll try white wine instead, haha!  And let's be honest, I was just having one of 'those days'.  It probably could have been a four-star dinner and I still would have found a way to pick out all its flaws.  Don't you just love that?  Let's be real.  Why are we so hard on ourselves?  Am I the only one who feels the need to be perfect? The quest will drive you crazy. Trust me.  Let's just take a moment to thank the good Lord that we don't have to be perfect. AMEN.

I shredded the meat and was able to get past the color.  And once I did, I realized this was a pretty tasty meal!
