Isn’t nice to be able to have the family all together at the table and have a lovely breakfast or lunch?

It is hard to get the family all in one spot at the same time.

Especially when the kids get older.

There is always some sort of meeting, sports practice or event to run to.

In my home, with two growing boys many times my husband and I had to split up to get them where they needed to be.

They both played hockey and sometimes when they were younger played back to back at the same rink.

I loved those days.

But they were hectic and stressful too.

I was manager for both teams. I also Secretary for the Association.

My husband helped coach both teams in those days.

We sold candy, had tournaments and raffles so we all were busy in our own ways.

Then my oldest went up to travel hockey and we went out of state.

So when we could all sit down and eat at the same time it was a real treat.

Since those stolen moments mostly occurred at the start of the day I started collecting nutritious breakfast foods.

This Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Casserole quickly soared to the top of my list.

It is pure comfort food created for the busy family.

Do you fall in that category?

If so you really enjoy this casserole.

Broccoli And Chicken Cheddar Cheese Casserole is a great fallback when you make breakfast in a jiffy. This cheesy casserole with fresh veggies and chunks of cooked chicken bakes up golden and bubbly in about 30 minutes.

      I actually like broccoli. It is one of the veggies I really eat. (So picky since I like veggies raw.) but with the cheese here it is so delicious! Enjoy, Mary.
