Butternut and Ricotta Polenta with Crispy Brussels Sprouts

I've been on a serious polenta kick around here lately. I think it's a combination of chilly weather and busyness. Polenta is a big warm bowl of comfort and it's also easy to make and cooks pretty fast. And, for even more fun, it's wonderfully versatile so I can change up the flavors and not get bored.



It started a couple of weeks ago when I had some leftover beef stew but no more potatoes.
