Oatmeal Vegetable Porridge

When sugar and milk became my enemies I created this oatmeal dish. I love oatmeal. I absolutely love this. Also, I needed to add vegetables to my diet. Even though I have given a specific recipe it will vary depending on what I have on hand. This is the first time I've used cilantro and it really adds. I personally sprinkle cayenne and garlic salt to the finished dish. Gary
