I've never really had grits or cornmeal (that I'm aware of), but I do love polenta, and love the addition of the maple syrup flavor!

I have to give this a try now (and I love polenta, so I am sure this will be a hit)! Thanks for posting the recipe! And I always make smoothies for my baby girl. It's the ONLY way I can get veggies into her.
