Rating: 5 out of 5.

These are not large servings so if you are hungry eat two. You can also add gnocchi or potatoes if you want any extra starch, we had done both and the gnocchi is my favorite.

A tablespoon of yogurt gives it an extra richness, the cranberry sauce makes you feel like it’s thanksgiving, and the pomegranate seeds are just delicious with the pumpkin and peanut butter flavors. Add one, or any combination of these toppings, or try some pepitas as well.
