Gluten-free oatmeal surprise!

We are snowed in this morning.  Ok, well, sort of.  Basically there is no school today but the roads don't look all too bad.  When it's cold enough to snow, I always want to make oatmeal.  Although when I make oatmeal for myself, it's a bit healthier than I make for David.  This mornings recipe is for him.  He hasn't tried it yet, it's still cooking, but I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say!  I also like to make a big batch of oatmeal that way he can warm it up anytime he wants a snack. 

So here's what I made:

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats (I made 3 cups worth)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 TBSP Kraft's new white chocolate delight (found by the cream cheese)
I made the oats to the directions of the bag.  Since it is "old-school" oatmeal (basically it has to cook on slow for 20 min); I added the vanilla, brown sugar, and white chocolate right as I turned the temp down and added the oats.  That way everything has time to cook nicely together.  I think it would be nice to add a couple tablespoons of strawberry preserves!! White chocolate with strawberry preserves oatmeal??? Seriously? OH YES!  I don't know that David would be as fond as I would for it though.  Maybe next time. : )
