Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day. Growing up, it meant eating a bowl of oatmeal or a scrambled egg with toast before school or having a hearty breakfast on the weekends. That weekend breakfast was always my favorite, not just for the plateful of eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, tortillas and pancakes, but also for the time my family got to spend together eating, chatting and reading the paper.
As a grown-up who lives away from family, it’s rough not being able to walk down the hall to the kitchen for breakfast with my parents and siblings ,but sometimes we like to go out to breakfast together. Since I’m always on the lookout for new restaurants, here are some favorite places in Arizona that are great spots to enjoy a meal with your loved ones.
