From reading (and re-reading) favorite bedtime stories to coaching little league and magically making scraped knees all better, there's a long list of reasons to be grateful for dad.

And for all those moments of selflessness, nurturing, and care, it's only right to spend an entire day making sure dad knows how much he's loved and appreciated. What better way to show dad a little love than with an extra special Father's Day breakfast, brunch, or after-dinner dessert? Whether you're celebrating first thing in the morning or planning an afternoon cookout with the family, any one of these recipes is guaranteed to keep dad's spirits high and his belly - and heart - full all day long.

1. Chilaquiles With Fried Eggs

Starting dad's day off on the right foot is easy to do with breakfast in bed, and these chilaquiles are the perfect comfort food for the job. We suggest making the morning special with extra sprinkles of queso fresco and jalapeños or his favorite hot sauce.

2. Popover Pancakes on the Grill

Dads are known to never pass up an airy, crispy, tender-in-the-middle popover pancake, but nobody wants a hot kitchen first thing in the morning. Enter: popover pancaks on the grill. No overheating the kitchen, less mess to cleanup, and the perfect vessel for fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

4. S'mores Donut Sandwich

All the essentials of a good s'more are represented, from melty chocolate and gooey marshmallows to graham cracker crumbs and the promise of sticky fingers and smiles.

5. Pull Apart Pigs In a Blanket

If quality time is the only thing on dad's wishlist this year, make the moments last with shareable snacks that are fun to eat and full of flavor. These pull apart pigs in a blanket check both boxes and pair perfectly with dad's famous chili for dipping and a couple rounds of his favorite board game.

10. Stuffed Peppers With Eggs and Sausage

Minimal cleanup and plenty of fresh air make outdoor cooking a no-brainer for Father's Day brunch, so we suggest having a few grill-friendly recipes ready for the occasion. These cheesy stuffed peppers are a savory combination of sausage, eggs, onions, and mushrooms...and a delicious reason to get the grill going early!
