Making My Favorite Comfort Food (Cremita) with Mami 

There’s something so calming about mama nilda love her

The bond between a mother and child is so beautiful. I can't wait to see you and Ever make Cremita.

I love how unbothered Ms.Nilda is when your dancing lollll..she's like "ok whatever let me keep on stirring" 🤣

I knew instantly when I saw the ingredients what your were making. We make this in Jamaica 🇯🇲 but we call it cornmeal porridge and we eat it sometimes with water crackers or hard bread ❤ I love seeing your mom she needs a channel too!

The 3rd gift was GOLD

Love you! Tell Mama Nilda we love her! So proud of you Adrienne!

Something about the editing of these new episodes is just *chef’s kiss ✨

Love, love, love to see you and Mama Nilda sharing your culture/great food with us!❤️

My dad is from Jamaica and my mom is from Dominica, so I grew up eating the same thing but we just call it “Cornmeal Porridge”. I like Cremita better haha. Sooo good!

I believe it was gold! In New Orleans, it was told to by my parents that traditionally we would get Mardi Gras king cake on kings day “while they don’t put the plastic baby in the king cake anymore due to some children choking” they would put the baby in the king cake and traditionally, whoever got the plastic baby had to buy the next king cake.

Try it with coconut creme or coconut milk sometime. You'll love it! Amazing how similar we do and make things across the Caribbean . I still eat it in a circle just like you do, thanks to my Mom. 😂 This was cool to watch. .... Oh and it was gold frankincense and myrrh but fun fact : the Bible never said their were 3 wise men. It just says they brought these 3 gifts so we kinda just filled in the gap I guess and assumed there were 3 men. Lol. Matthew chapter 2 for reference. . All this time I thought the bible says " The Wise men" Never thought of that till in my 30's. Love discovering new things in the Bible. Have a Great Year everyone!

This is also an african food as well..we eat this for breakfast .. for us most of the time we add peanut butter or butter or we ferment the corn meal mixed with water in an air tight container ( sour porridge) ..if thr is bread ur pour ur poyoyo(thts how we call it whr i come from) and thn add bread pieces and fresh milk...omg i miss home now...thank you for sharing ur recipe... as well

Aww I Loove your Mom! Hey Ms Nielda!...I lost my mom in July of last year and it is single handedly the toughest thing that I've ever been through. 😔I love how you love your mom. This does wonders for my soul.

This is called cornmeal porridge in Jamaica. The steps are taken in a different order but it’s the same and is eaten from a bowl

Adrian you have the sweetest mom she's just so kind I haven't eaten that for years my grandmother we make it for me it looks so good bring back so many memories of my grandmother you have the most beautiful son God bless him ❤️

I love the diary entries at the end of each episode, It’s soothing.😌

This looks so yummy! I’ll have to try my hand at this. For me, my favorite comfort food is when my mom makes ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings. If you know, you know 🇯🇲

I’m Jamaican and we make this. I had to rewind when you put the ingredients up and thought, wow this is cornmeal porridge. A few slight variations I.e we don’t add butter. But other than that it’s the same. It’s nice to see that most of of our cultures overlap without us even knowing it. ❤

Cremita makes it sound expensive😊😁...in saint.lucia🇱🇨 it's cornmeal porridge but we use coconut milk,cinnamon powder and sticks,nutmeg powder,Bayleaf,sugar....yummmmmyyyyyy😍

Happy new Year to you and your beautiful family Mama Nida so calme love her so much I'm Haitian in our culture we call it cornmeal porridge it's so good we also add carnation milk .love it .we haave. It in the morning or before we go to bed .eat it the same way you did .gracias for sharing with us.lplease bringEver James for us 😘

Boricua mamis are the best!!!!!! 🇵🇷 I’m biased lol but who could disagree look at Ms Nilda!!!! Always looking her best and throwing down in the kitchen and with the wisdom!!!!

You are not weird! I think every Puerto Rican eats there cremita that way, I know I do!!

We have the same maize meal porridge as a staple in most cultures in South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦. Difference is that the sugar is poured by preference after, same as butter, milk or whatever flavouring is optional. The porridge is the maize meal, water and salt for taste. The Xhosa people even have a sour porridge version which is a bit of vinegar for the sour taste during the cooking.

It’s the eating from the outside in, for me! That is definitely a Puerto Rican thing. ❤ My abuelita would tell me the same thing!

My grandmother who passed away use to make this for us all the time , such comfort food ❤❤❤ I'll be making this for my son now thank you mami Nilda for teaching us 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I tell u there is nothing better then mommy’s cooking ❤❤ god bless you all

We also add a table spoon of Sweet condensed milk into each bowl ❤️

I made this, so delicious!!! Thank you so much! My family is Cuban and usually we do it in a more savory way but this was soooo good!!! The smell blew me away!!!!

It looks really similar to Jamaican cornmeal porridge! Similar ingredients and everything.

Happy Three Kings Day!! The official end of the holiday season! Love seeing the family warmth on this channel and the genuine authenticity!! 🙌🏼💗

Your mom is pure elegance! Tan hermosas.

Mama nilda’s voice is so warm, and soothing! Like a warm hug from someone who makes you feel comfortable no matter who you are!

Dang the whole time growing up around puerto ricans in NYC i never even knew y’all ate cornmeal porridge as well. As a Jamaican its a staple- we add coconut milk and condensed milk and nutmeg in ours. **Quick tip: if you accidentally get lumps just pull out your blender and use it. It’ll be smooth again lol I’ve made the same mistake a couple times no matter how many times I’ve made it..im just too impatient sometimes 😂

We have something similar like this in Ghana called semolina porridge(which I’m sure other countries have as well)! We eat it for breakfast as well and it’s sweet too!! This looks really good and brought back memories of me eating all kinds of porridge’s we have in Ghana!! ❤ Love the new channel btw!!

My favorite comfort breakfast food is Cornmeal Porridge and Ackee and Saltfish with Dumpling, Yam and Green Banana!

Can we get an episode like this where you guys only speak Spanish? Maybe add subtitles for us that don’t understand in English.. 😩😆 I just love the language so much, I don’t care if I don’t understand 😂😂😂😂

💁🏻‍♀️ I love that your Mom shares such a special recipe. She is such an amazing lady. GOD Bless you & your family in “2023” Greetings from the beautiful state of 🌲OREGON. 🇺🇸

When it comes to cremita or farina my fav part is the film it creates on the top when u let it sit for a minute ughh love it lol

We love your videos when Mama Nilda is in them💕

This is what we use to eat growing up love your mom shes so humble

My Mami sometimes made cremita with flour when we didn't have cornmeal. Sometimes there were lumps but we went in on our bowls regardless! So comforting and filling for sure! And yes, to this day, I start around the edges first too. Mami would be like, "soplalo primero nena, te vas a quemar la boca!" Feliz Dia de Los Reyes!

Adrienne Sweetie, That Looks Delicious 😊 Cherish Every Moment U Have With Ur Mom & Ur Family! Because We Never Know How Much Time We Have Left! 😇 My Mama Passed Away On July 9th, 2005 & I Miss Her Every Day! 😘 Pray That Y'all Have A Very Blessed & Prosperous Day & Weekend 😇 🥰 Truly Blessed 🥰

7:55 A! You’re not alone! My dad taught me to eat porridge that way because I’ve grown up loving Taystee Wheat and Oats. Which gets really hot. So I would eat around it and then the middle once cooled off 🎉🎉❤

My abuelita use to make it for me all the time when I was a kid. She use to make so good May she RIP. Your so fortunate to have your mom to make it for you. God bless

I love this I just love growing up in a Puerto Rican household

Yum yum yummm :). The Jamaican version of this is called "cornmeal porridge." The only thing we add in addition to what you added, is freshly grated nutmeg, and we swap out the sugar for sweetened condensed milk. However, since I am vegan, I use sugar. Loved this episode, A!

In Jamaica this is our cornmeal porridge. instead of sugar we use condense milk. LOVE It. When you have this made the right way ALL is right with the world.

Feliz Dia de los 3 Reyes....on the eve, kids get a shoe box, fill it with grass and put it under their bed. So when the 3 kings come at night and leave gifts to the kids under the bed while the camels eat the grass...Frankincense & Myrrh are tree resins that burn as incense and they smell amazing....cremita is the best Boricua breakfast ever....HAPPY NEW YEAR FAM!

You're so blessed... Jesus shines through you mija

My dad who was from P.R. use to make this for us growing up. Aww! I miss mi papi! He passed almost 3 years ago. 🙏🏽❤️

That's How Most Of Us Boricuas Grew Up Eating Avena, Farina, Cremita, Majarete, etc. Spinning The Spoon From The Outside Toward The Center LoL 😆 PERFECTO!

I love this!!! It reminds me of Jamaican corn porridge. I think the only difference might be nutmeg. 😋

I also eat my harina de maíz from the outside in 🫶🏻 buen provecho!!!!

I love it with coconut milk and a little sweetened condensed milk. Cornmeal porridge😊🇯🇲

What a lovely mummy ❤️

Adrienne, it was gold..

My mom used to make this dish for breakfast and it was 😋. As a kid did not appreciate like I should and as a grownup crave it!

I am definitely loving the kitchen aesthetic

❤ your mama is a beautiful person ❤

My Mom made that cremita/ cornmeal but there was one I call Abuelita crema made with cornstarch my favorite and other one with rice flour Goya it's like custard style my Mom still living 95 years old many Spanish treats to learn tell Mama Nilda send prayer for me!

My abuela used to make this for me and told me to eat it from the outside in as well lol! Beautiful tradition.

7:34 my dad (Puerto Rican) used to make this for me for breakfast and it was my favorite! He also taught me to eat it that way as well, so I always start from the outside and work my way in. ❤ thank you for sharing!

We call it farina with the white corn meal. And I like to eat it from the edge to the center too

Love me some momma Nilda! It’s like being in the kitchen with my mom. How I miss her so much. Thank you for sharing your mom & this delicious “receta” with us. 🥰

Yes the cremita. I have same habit of eating from outside in because of same advice my mom gave me as a child…and it’s the way my daughter eats it now.

I adore you and your sweet Mama together!!!!

One of my favorite breakfast, thankfully I am able to share with my baby girl with coconut milk. So silky smooth and delish.

That looks like what we call corn meal pap. Only thing we don't put butter in it. It is a real filling meal. But I love to drink my like tea so I don't make my so thick. Love always 🇧🇧

It's so crazy to me that this is cornmeal porridge. I'm also from the the Commonwealth of Dominica and Antigua and like the rest of my small islanders we just call it cornmeal porridge. For most of us we definitely don't consider it comfort food in fact I think alot of us hated it growing up because our grandparents especially made it wayyyyyy to often. In our house we used vanilla and almond essence, condensed and evaporated milk, nutmeg,bay leaves and cinnamon(spice). It's good to learn that though we are so different we are so alike.

I had a similar version growing up however this morning I woke up wanting to try your version and it was so yummy! It came out so great! Mixing it into the warm water before cooking was such great advice! Thank you so much for helping me start my week off great! 🙏🏽

That was great Momma Nilda Happy 3 Kings Day.

Another version of this is called Funche but with a totally different flavor, more savory. My daughter still likes crema or cremita and sometimes she puts chocolate chips on top. Proud to see that Adrienne likes to showcase her culture.

Great mom and daughter relationship. Will try that recipe, thanks.❤❤❤❤

We have something close to it but it’s more on the savory side in our Haitian culture called Mami Moulen which is a corn meal dish, you can have it sometimes with brown beans mixed in or brown or black bean sauce on the side, some avocado on the side with a protein, so bomb!

Oh yes, growing up with cremita. Such a comfort food. Thanks for sharing.

So this is basically cornmeal porridge! I also love love love nutmeg in my porridge.

My father taught me to eat it the same way , since it's hot. In a circle around outside till I reach the center. 😊

My parents just recently retired and are able to spend more time visiting my sister and I . So I have been loving everything my mom has been cooking but my favorites recently have been her homemade cheeseburgers and her chocolate chip cookies. So good. Yall meal looks yummy, maybe I will try it.

I call that Arian de maíz it’s so yummy 😋 no matter how much I try to make it on my own mom’s always have that special touch that make them way better.

My family are from Somaliland and this is really similar to what we eat and it’s usually eaten when we break our fasts during the holy month of Ramadhan. We cook it the exact same way but instead of corn meal we use sorghum flour. We call it Mishaari 🌍. I look forward to trying cremita now !! X

Love Love LOVE this new channel aesthetic!! Giving me so much Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw writer vibes but with your own twist. So excited to see more!!

PAZ Y BENDICIONES PEACE & BLESSINGS. ADRIENNE AND LADY NILDA LOVE THIS COOKING SEGMENT. WHOA! TOOK ME BACK " HOME" LA CREMITA. YUM! ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS MENTION AT THE END OF YOUR COOKING SEGMENT IS GREAT👌. MOREOVER, ITS ALL ABOUT LOVE & SERVICE.

Its crazy how people of color make essentially the same thing with a twist. Your mom is gorgeous as usual!

Yo momma is everything girl

Wow I didn’t know you shared the same food as us Jamaicans. We make it pretty much the same way but call it cornmeal porridge 🥰👍🏾❤️

Oh my gosh, I love your mom she reminds me of my mom when she cooks my cremita all the time or farina. Yummy! Lol God bless you guys🙏

NGL I was skeptical but this looked yummy. I ran out and got the cornmeal and winged it. I didnt follow the measurements but followed the directions to ensure no lumps and used all of the ingredients. I loved that you can use as much or as little as pretty much anything. Thank you for sharing. This will be on our breakfast rotation for sure. It’s so easy!

Love your video adrienne love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 we from the Caribbean eat that to I am from Curaçao 🇨🇼

Happy three kings day!!! I plan on making Cremita with my ma and suegra soon! Loved this video. I felt like I was watching my family!

Adrian is a sweetheart. I met her last year in greenwhich conneticut and she so nice.

Looks Amazing!!! South African staple breakfast food - we have and make it in so many varieties creamy, sour, brown(that's made with sorghum)...

My mami used to make it like that. She would also make it with raisins and serve it cold sliced like a pie.😋💖

Adrienne's commitment to this aesthetic is astounding. She wasn't lying when she said she wants to be the Latina Martha Stewart

You and your mom are the best. I love it!

Love when you have your mama on your vlogs. 😊❤️

Your mom reminds me of my mom. That short pixi cut. The ny Rican accent. Love you guys!!!

My parents always told me to eat my cremita from the outside to the inside too. And I say the same to my son. ❤🇵🇷

My favorite comfort food from childhood is semolina pudding , my granny makes it all the time and it's the best.

No hay nada como el sabor de la cremita de Puerto Rico. Felicidades y Buen Provecho!
