Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, though I never eat it during the week and I'm too lazy to make it on the weekend. We used to pick up donuts and things from fast food or semi-fast food joints, but that just didn't satiate my taste buds. We tried Waffle House and Diners, but that became too expensive.

There is nothing like a home-cooked breakfast. I've recently had the pleasure of making my own ham, egg and cheese sandwiches on an english muffin since we moved into the house, but for Father's Day I figured I could do a little more for Travis on Father's Day (as an honorary soon-to-be Step Father) for being such a positive influence in Nicholas's life. He'll be off this year, so I'm definitely shooting for a breakfast in bed.

The hard part will be deciding which one of these 10 breakfast recipes to serve for Father's Day. As an anti-vegetarian, aka he hates vegetables, breakfast is actually one of the meals here I can sneak them in. I may not be able to swing the avocado, but most veggies can be masked by slicing, dicing and shredding them.



Skip the avocado and Travis would have no idea that Chili Breakfast Bowls are actually vegetarian. He just sees chili, some form of one of his faves...potatoes and eggs with cheese. He does like corn, so other than the avocado, the vegetables are hidden in this recipe.

Believe it or not, Mr. Meat and Potatoes likes green peas. If only I could master the poached egg, I could make this Poached Eggs and Sweet Potato Hash recipe. I've tried making poached eggs a few times, but even the Gordon Ramsey videos haven't worked for me. The good news is, you can always make an over-easy egg in the frying pan.

The cast-iron skillet is your friend. I actually don't have one, but it's on my list. When I score a cast-iron skillet, this Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Grits Bake recipe is on my to-do list. It's like a breakfast pizza in a skillet! Lots of greens in this recipe from spinach to green onions and fresh herbs.

I can't say that I've ever brought Mediterranean flair into my breakfasts, but the thought of fried egg, garlic, olives, pepperoncinis and sun-dried tomatoes on a roll, has my mouth-watering over this Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich.
