This recipe is really one of those recipes I love because I can make a big batch in the beginning of the week and it lasts all week. It feels like comfort food, but it is nourishing and packed with all things good for you. I suggest that you make it ahead for breakfast to kick start your day, but I will tell you that it makes a fabulous lunch and dinner as well. Feel free to change up the ingredients with your substitutions or leave as is for a flavor rich meal that you will love. I sprinkled a little everything bagel seasoning on it as well and it was a welcome surprise! This is a great meal for quick summer lunches/breakfasts, but is a perfect comfort food in the colder months as well.
