A Superhero's Breakfast for Father’s Day

Who's my hero? That's a great question... Well, I think my dad is my hero, because he's someone I look up to every day.  -Tom Brady

There are many titles for fathers in each language. Some in English include dad, daddy, papa, or pop. While these titles may be the most commonly used, one of the most fitting ways to describe your dad or father figure just might be “superhero.”

Superheroes are those who have the capacity to go above and beyond to accomplish anything for the people they love and care about. Sounds just like Dad, right? From helping you with late night science fair projects after a long day of work, to throwing a ball in the backyard, walking you down the aisle and one day being the best grandfather in the world, dads seem to be able to do everything.

Give Dad a break this Father’s Day and make him breakfast in bed. Get the kids involved and follow the three recipes below to whip up the perfect treat for dad.
