An Ode to Dad: Sheet Pan Berry French Toast

An Ode to Dad: Sheet Pan Berry French Toast

An Ode to dad

You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

This weekend, we get to celebrate dads everywhere and with that, many of us are gathering with family and friends in a first time for a while. If you’re still trying to decide what to do and make, we have some great ideas for you, below.

From a fun brunch to Bloody Mary Bar, you can make some items in advance so you have more quality time together. Isn’t what the day is all about?!
From all of us here at Eat Cleaner, and to our favorite dad (mine), enjoy your day in the best health!
