I made this one morning in an effort to use up leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving. It's filling, healthy, and delicious! If you generally make oatmeal with milk instead of water, don't! The acid in the cranberries will make the milk separate. I tried it. It will still taste okay, but it won't look very pretty.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 apple , cored and diced
- 0.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts

Combine water, apple, and cranberries together in a bowl; bring to a boil. Cook mixture until cranberries burst and apple is tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into apple mixture. Cook, stirring continuously, until water is absorbed and oatmeal thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Top oatmeal with walnuts.

My mother-in-law passed down this black-eyed pea cornbread recipe to my wife. The first time she made it, I was completely surprised. I had never heard of it, and I've been unable to find anything else quite like it. You can fix this as a side dish to a meal, or make it into muffins for snacks. Either way, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Chef John's Roasted Leg of Lamb
I've done more than a few lamb dishes dedicated to Easter but inexplicably have never posted one for a whole leg of lamb. It's a classic Easter menu option, and when prepared using this method, it makes for a very user-friendly hunk of meat.
