Father’s day brunch is usually filled with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausages, and other usual brunch fare, in amounts that exceed normally healthy standards. And that’s okay, especially since these yummy foods aren’t obliged upon us every day. Dad’s health, however, may be an issue. If so, and if smaller portions of these brunch favorites are not an option, there are a variety of menu ideas out there that can cater to your father’s diet and offer a tasty variety that says, “I really love you, Dad”.

If you’re lucky enough to live near health conscious and local or organic farm savvy restaurants, be sure to check their menus for some great Father’s Day brunch ideas that you can incorporate into your own Father’s Day Brunch.

At Big Sky Cafe in Webster Groves, MO, there are quite a few choices in their two part Father’s Day Brunch. I have to share their menu here. Their cornucopia of gluten free, organic, natural and local foods make this menu healthy and mouth watering. If you live in the St. Louis area, be sure to make reservations.
