So we suggest gathering your family around the table to celebrate Pops with a grand Father's Day brunch. Treat him to a meal full of home-cooked food fit for a king. While he might just be happy with the simple things in life, this is the one day of the year that is all about him, so why not go all out?

For those who like to take a walk on the savory side, our Breakfast Enchiladas or Sausage-Potato Frittata are sure to be a home run.
