Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast Casserole: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

I get so excited for the weekends, not just because the girls do not have school and my husband does not have to work, but because I can make a special breakfast. I need to break up the cereal and milk routine from the school week and this breakfast definitely does that.

Breakfast Casserole: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

I really like that this breakfast has some vegetables in it. Trying to get the recommended daily amount can be hard, so every little bit helps.
