Breakfast in bed isn’t just for the moms in the family.  We often think of breakfast in bed for moms on Mother’s Day, but I am betting that breakfast in bed for dads would surprise and please them.

If you (or the kids) aren’t really into cooking, you can still treat the dad of the house. Make a quick trip to McDonalds or Arby’s and pick up dad’s favorite fast-food breakfast. Have you ever tried Hardee’s biscuits? Recently my nieces served me a Hardee’s country ham biscuit, and it was delicious.  Or treat dad to breakfast at a restaurant with an all-you-can-eat buffet.

If you have more time or culinary skills, you can fix a simple breakfast at home.  Food blogger and cookbook author Jenny Flake offers simple breakfast-in-bed ideas for dads on this YouTube video with treats like a strawberry yogurt parfait (no cooking needed) and an easy omelette.

You might also include on Dad’s tray other items he would enjoy: the morning newspaper, a hand-made Father’s Day card, a picture of you making the breakfast,  and a flower.  (Dad’s appreciate beautiful flowers too!)
