This dish is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for lunch during the week.

I'm not a big fan of orzo, so I used quinoa instead. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer, so this recipe is perfect for me.

Overall, this was a good recipe. However, I found that the dish was a bit too oily for my liking. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

Overall, this was a good recipe. However, I found that the orzo was a bit too mushy for my liking. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
