Nuevo Hobo Dinner
Saute green onions leftover from Easter dinner
Add can of white beans bought on sale at the co-op
Toss in rest of last summer's pesto
Chop and add sun-dried tomatoes that your father-in-law gave you when he cleaned out his pantry which you soaked since you had hot water left from tea
Stir.
Add a splash of vermouth that you bought while obsessed with Julia Child
Grate aged provolone cheese (from Italy) bought while on a cheese binge at Trader Joe's.
Sprinkle over top.
Serve with fancy bread bought for 50 cents because Zingerman's was reducing inventory
Optional: Serve kale which needs to be cooked tonight before it rots on the side.

Call for input
I hate breakfast. I really, really do. It used to be that I needed to eat something before I could leave the house, but that's not really the case any longer. I know that I should and, most days, I manage to do it.
Here's the problem: things that I used to be able to tolerate first thing in the morning? Not so much, anymore. I'm down to about half a cup of dry cereal in a little bit of milk. When I get to work, I eat some nuts (usually cashews) with my morning caffeine.
I need some suggestions for quick, easy breakfast items that include some protein. I can't eat eggs most days, and can't cope with the consistency of yogurt first thing in the morning.
What do you eat in the morning when nothing sounds good?
