Savory Breakfast Quinoa Bowl

All I have to say is- YUM! MEGA YUM!

If you feel like a lump in the morning, you need to wake up to this beauty; she will get you going!

She'll say," Wakey, wakey, eggs and quinoa!"

Savory Breakfast Quinoa Bowl

1/2 cup quinoa

1 minced garlic clove

1 cup veggie broth (or water)

2 shredded carrots

1 cup cooked rice

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cups chopped kale, ribs removed and diced (or spinach)

1 medium tomato diced (or 1 cup of baby tomatoes)

1/4 cup diced cheese chunks (I use cheddar or smoked gouda)

1-2 tbsp fresh herbs like parsley or thyme (if you've got 'em)

eggs cooked how you like

In your favorite sauce pan, bring the quinoa, garlic clove, and veggie broth to a boil.  Add the carrots. Cover and turn down to low for 15 minutes. Once the quinoa is done, add the cooked rice to warm through.

Sauté the onions, mushrooms, and kale/ stems with olive oil. Cover to steam the kale. Add the tomatoes to warm through.
Add the cheese chunks to the quinoa rice. Add herbs.

Cook a 'dippy egg'. (how I prefer my egg for this recipe)

Serve in a bowl layered with quinoa rice, veggies, and topped with the egg. All you need is a drizzle of hot sauce, and its time for breakfast!

Use your favorite veggies- peppers, broccoli, and roasted cauliflower are FABULOUS too.
