VEGETABLE OATS UPMA

Vegetable Oats Upma

 

My dear friend asked me to post oats upma recipe.  So, before posting the recipe I wanted to try it out in my kitchen and get it approved by my biggest critic (husband).   I tried this upma today morning… and got thumbs up for the taste and texture.  I used Quaker Multigrain Oats but can be made with regular oats as well.
