Island Oatmeal (Pina Colada Porridge)
"After trying all the different porridge combinations from the British leg of ZWT III. I thought I would create my own for the Caribbean leg. This is quite sweet so no additional sweetner is needed. If you don't want it too sweet, use half juice, half water for cooking. For the toasted coconut I put this under the grill (broiler) as I put the porridge in the microwave and they were both ready at the same time."

I modified this recipe a bit. I used crushed pineapple in juice instead of dried pineapple and juice. Also, I omitted the shredded coconut, but added some cottage cheese. The combination of pineapple & coconut (extract) was so delicious, and I will definitely make this again! -
This certainly was quick and easy this morning before I dashed out the door! Will definetly make again. -
Oh my, this is fabulous. I'll be making this so much, I'm going to use up my currently almost-full bottle of coconut extract really, really fast!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
