[@Shavier777]

I made this today with almond milk. Came out delicious 💕. Thanks you!

[@lucymeza3973]

This is like farina porridge😋 this is perfect since I have a bag of cornmeal waiting to used. My kids will love this. Super easy to follow this recipe.

[@keamoussaoui13]

I was thinking the same thing it looks like cream of wheat. That's what Farina is called here.

[@haitianbeautee7692]

I love me some porridge. I add butter as well it gives it a rich texture. I also add coconut milk in mine. You’re kids are just the cutest. 😍 They gave a whole speech for that porridge. Lol

[@moniquetieja9071]

I'll have to try it with coconut milk

[@harvestqueen1479]

If the kids like it, it must be good! 😊. I've been wanting to make cornmeal porridge for a long and glad I bumped into your video. Seems easy to make and I'm gonna try it. Thanks 😁

[@KetzK11]

Thanks! Making it right now with blue cornmeal! 😋 P.S. your kiddos are so cute, what a blessing!!❤🙌💜

[@iyarawellness57]

I'm a grown woman and never made cornmeal porridge. The technique really is to keep stirring. Your video was very helpful thank you. I made it today and it came out perfect.

[@normam6293]

Such cuties. Currently about to make my cornmeal porridge 🥣

[@chrisduan9360]

[@bakinhpuse]

I like a little bit of salt in my porridge as a Jamaican my mama use to boil a big pot of cornmeal porridge for us every day in Jamaica now am growing and i still makes my porridge

[@kimmyescada5470]

I think I'm going to try this way with no water added. I do like my porridge creamy as well.

[@createthebalance]

You are a life saver!!!! I’ve been trying to make porridge of this consistency forever and it turns into lump! 😩 thank you so much!

[@ThatNurseCanCook]

Glad i could help!

[@ElizabethFlores-qk3ej]

Gracias esta deliciosa la preparé y le encantó a mi niño

[@maddieperez8939]

Made this today and it was delicious. I used Quaker corn meal because it was all I could find. I have a feeling it will be even better with the Goya once I can find it.

[@lizirie]

Great recipe, look so creamy! I am using cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla flavor in my cornmeal porridge too :)

[@satiricalsartorial]

[@doogieRN1]

Hey Helena!! Thank you for this, I am going to try to make it with Coconut Milk and Almond Milk half of each. I have been trying to compile your recipes to have variety of meals to make for my Mom who is Jamaican. I loved it when she made this and this seems much easier to do, have most of the ingredients will do this for tomorrow's breakfast and give another go on making fried dumplings, they were too hard this morning...🤦🏿‍♀️😓

[@stephanierivera8281]

This video is engraved in my head. Best video to learn how to make it! I don’t add nutmeg or almond extract. I add sugar and cinnamon on top when done. Such a great comfort breakfast !

[@HerAccountabilityCoach]

Omg 🎉 thanks for the video you make this look easy … I trying it in the morning

[@cindysthilaire9889]

Just made and was just as described. Thank you!!!

[@ThatNurseCanCook]

[@brandonplays702]

I also have to have porridge with Jamaican choice water crackers! It makes it so much better!

[@MsLuva24]

Looks yummy and I'm going to try it with Hint of Honey Vanilla Almond milk. I'm trying to be a vegetarian which is not easy. I hope cornmeal porridge gives me lots of energy at work. Also, your voice is soothing.

[@user-lk2vs5qs5p]

[@candantri]

Just made this after seeing it on Instagram. So yummy. I didn’t have almond essence so I opted to make it with almond milk. Besides what it called for I added extra vanilla extract, some butter, and cinnamon. Yummy!! This is a keeper.

[@fattygirl4eva]

So cute. I did not like porridge of any kind as a child. Now as an adult I could eat it everyday.

[@cammillz5065]

That porridge must be really good 😊 them kids fell in love all over again 😂

[@rosaleelee7868]

Your children are so beautiful, and that porridge looks so delicious

[@BriaLoveElias]

[@redelicious78]

Try it with vanilla flavored almond milk

[@MariaOrtiz-jk4dm]

Just add all ingredients into pot mix well before u put it on the stove. Once on the stove medium heat stir until done

[@bahiyyah19]

[@tmc1373]

Does it taste like malto meal?? I'm looking to make malto meal because it's getting too expensive to buy.

[@angelaalmader]

What does it taste like? Never had it before.

[@musanamomo5658]

❤

[@t-alimichael3363]

Porridge ready ye hot. 1 luv 🇯🇲

[@tttv6834]

What brand vanilla extract do you use ?

[@paultontucker101]

Regular meal in Jamaica

[@BoBo-kb4ig]

Good vid

[@faegrl1506]

it’s the “i wish she was a millionaire” for me 😭🥺

[@missmewiththatone1]

next time try it with raisins

[@melaningem-in-i20]

What other milk can I use?

[@eemendes4]

What if the cornmeal I bought looks grainy? Idk what I’m doing lol

[@ThatNurseCanCook]

Still follow the recipe, make it, then blend in a blender for like 15-20 seconds. That’ll make it nice & smooth.

[@ricardoarballo5376]

I got The PAN Cornmeal. Let's see how it works for this recipe. 😬

[@nba1ish]

What can I use if I don't want too use regular milk ((almond milk??

[@kass8892]

Yeah you can use any milk you like

[@sandrabyfield6481]

If you add coconut milk to it it will taste much better

[@kikipurple5465]

Generally porridge isn’t healthy😂. However you make it sugar is the main ingredient. Preferably I love the Jamaican style. Which includes water, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract and both coconut and condensed milk. They really pack the flavor and is super creamy and rich.

[@freelancerray3725]

Porridge isn’t healthy??,lol where you got your facts from?😭

[@mattsvoid]

@@freelancerray3725 I mean it’s packed with sugar. What did you expect? Do you use stevia sweetened things instead?

[@robbiebritish3491]

They make it that same way in Mexico and Thailand crazy how food actually has no region we all make the same things just different names

[@freelancerray3725]

@@mattsvoid obviously it depends on the type of sweetener and porridge your using and making😭😭,you could generalize burgers being unhealthy but it’s wild saying that with porridge lol

[@ArabellaRosee]

We have one like that too w/ regular oats.. she’s using the fine cornmeal which is why it looks different! ☺️☺️🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

[@teetot5276]

What else can you sweeten porridge with besides sugar?

[@karenbarr5305]

Sweetened condense milk

[@smorris7864]

If you diabetic use your sugar substitute plus cinnamon

[@adannajonathan8385]

Do you need to add almond absence?

[@ThatNurseCanCook]

It can be omitted if you don’t have it but it does give it a nice flavor

[@vashnitracey8629]

RASTA..BLSS..21GOD

[@jupiterscorpio4206]

Just use a whisk

[@theriawilliams818]

🤔

[@eddiecruz1454]

U didn’t even say the heat of the stove
