     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?
