The béchamel gives this fantastic sausage-mushroom lasagna a distinctive touch. To reduce the amount of fat in this meal, I like to use low-fat milk, part-skim mozzarella, and ricotta. The distinction won’t be apparent.

It’s really good; quick and easy. I did not have fresh cranberries so I used dry which worked out well for me.
This is absolutely delicious. Changed nothing and will definitely make this over and over again.
This is now my standard recipe for oatmeal. It is delicious, a world that probably is rare used to describe oatmeal!
delicious and easy recipe, especially with brown sugar and cinnamon added. Cranberries and apples are such a great combination. Thank you!
Myself, 5yo, and 3yo all really liked this. We didn’t have fresh cranberries, but did have craisins, so we used a 1/4 of those, and almond milk instead of water, which was fine with the dried cranberries. I left out the nuts.
My 3-year-old likes it too! I subbed orange juice for about 1/4th of the water (1/2 c) and just used a dash of nutmeg. I also drizzled a tiny bit of maple syrup over the bowl before serving! Fast + delicious = make again material!
Delicious and tasty. I would add apple sauce next time to add some more flavour and natural sweetness. Also great for cold mornings.
Very good. If you don’t have a fresh orange, sub some of the water for orange juice. I cut way WAY back on the nutmeg (just a dash) and the sugar and nuts (too many calories).
