You know the old adage about how the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Well, it's absolutely true—at least for Ladd Drummond. "He honestly would rather have a plate of delicious food than any material possession in the world," Ree says.

Ahead, we're sharing all of our favorite Father's Day brunch recipes and ideas to help you delight your very own Marlboro Man with something delicious and Dad-approved come June. Each dish on our list is so good, it doubles as a bona fide Father's Day gift. Take the grilled doughnut kebabs we're highlighting, for instance—we're pretty sure he'll have never seen anything like them (we certainly hadn't). And who says you have to save the extra-filling stuff for Father's Day dinner? We've got breakfast-ready grilling recipes (hello, breakfast pizza!) and midday-appropriate Father's Day desserts galore—just take a look at that giant Dutch baby pancake drizzled with Nutella. Beyond yum. Oh, and don't forget a beverage! We've got several options here, including Ree's Spicy Cowgirl coffee—it's the stuff of legend at this point—and a summery blueberry-basil mocktail he'll want to sip all day long. Here's to making his day as soon as he wakes up!
