Absolutely wonderful breakfast, & I even see myself making it for a quick & very satisfying supper some night when I'm not wanting a whole lot of anything! Followed your recipe right on down, including the coconut! You really know how to dress up a bowl of plain ol' oatmeal, & the recipe is a great keeper! Thanks for sharing it!

This brought the tropics right into my very cold kitchen! I used crushed pineapple because I had it on hand, 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut, and topped it off with a little skim milk. I highly recommend the coconut in this because it really adds to the flavor and texture. This is an oatmeal I wouldn't hesitate to serve in winter or summer!

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
