    Around the holidays, I crave quiet moments. I've found that as a mom if I want them I've got to create them.

    One way I do this is to plan ahead.

    Once upon a time I would have cooked eggs, waffles, pancakes or some other dish that required hands-on time for a holiday brunch.

    These days, I stick to casseroles, muffins, and pastries that can be made ahead and frozen.

    Because getting protein in the morning is important to how I feel (and how my children behave), I'm a big fan of savory breakfast casseroles. This Breakfast Quinoa Bread Pudding is an amazing option! With 25 grams of protein a serving it will keep you going until lunch time.

    Even better - you will have time to savor your morning coffee instead of scrambling to get breakfast on the table.

    • 1 onion chopped
    • 1 red pepper chopped
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
    • 4 ounces fresh spinach chopped

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2 ½ quart baking dish with oil. (You may also use individual ramekins.)
