 Broccoli, Kale & Sun Dried Tomato Quinoa Breakfast Casserole

While some people can happily skip breakfast, that has never been me.

I'm not sure what the reason, but I wake up hungry. After coffee, I am always ready for breakfast.

Since I get up around, 5 am most days I am typically eating breakfast before 6 am.  Usually, everyone but Skye and I are still asleep.

This means banging in the kitchen to make breakfast just won't do.

Often, I just have a salad that I've prepped on the weekend for breakfast.

Unusual? Yes.

But I crave vegetables in the morning.

Another solution is a casserole that I can make ahead, like today's Breakfast Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli, Kale and Sun Dried Tomatoes.

I love how I feel after starting my day with this nutrient dense breakfast.

What is your favorite breakfast?
