Hi, boos! Currently, I’m feeling a little tired. I might be losing my mind a little bit.
I missed lunch on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, all I could scrounge up was a piece of bread, a cheese stick and honey mustard. So I had a CHEESE STICK SANDWICH. That’s right. My foodie has left the building. So has my fashionista. Although I’m tired of any word with an -ista on the end of it, that is the most accurate word I can muster up right now.
Exhibit A:
Jamfest sweatshirts are so hot right now.
But I am falling for a dope mascara:
Benefit They're Real! Mascara.
Creepy eye aside, let’s get back to the point.
Breakfast has done me a solid every single day this week.
And you know what else does me a solid every time I open a box or bag?
Love Grown Foods and its granola.
I have five luscious, delicious, wholesome bags that need a good home. WHO WANTS SOME LOVE? Sweet Cranberry Pecan (mah fave), Apple Walnut Delight, Raisin Almond Crunch, Simply Oats and Cocoa Goodness can all be YOURS!!!

I never skip breakfast either. I can’t get through the day without some fuel to keep me going.
can”t ever skip lunch. probably skip dinner
I never skip breakfast. And if I do, I’m starving all day.
I always make time for breakfast WITH coffee!
bed time snack probably:)
I can NEVER skip breakfast! (But I guess I can’t skip any meal for that matter!)
I never skip dinner… It’s how I relax after a long day!
i ALWAYS need breakfast and coffee!!
i’ll probably skip dinner- desserts the best anyway!
I’ve been rocking the messy bun for the majority of the week too!
Even when life is crazy, I always make sure I eat dinner. Otherwise I’m one gruuumpy gal when I wake up!
Love Grown is amazing! Such an awesome giveaway. (:
Although I hate to do it, breakfast is often skipped or late. Coffee is required though, decaf
I really do try my hardest not to miss a meal or else I’ll be dizzy and not a happy camper…however I wake up starving so breakfast would be the worst
I never tried Love Grown granola, and I would love to win it!
I never skip breakfast because I always wake up super hungry and can’t start my day without it!
I must have coffee and egg white oats with pb and cocoa powder everyday!
I never ever skip breakfast, can’t do it.
i usually stand behind lunch. i can go a few hours without breakfast (I KNOW, not good for me) but that means i can’t skip lunch. i’ve been wanting to try love grown for months but i can’t find it anywhere near me, bet i’d start breaking fast if i got some o dat business heeeeyyyy
Can’t skip breakfast! Impossible to power through a day without fuel in the morning.
I usually end up skipping breakfast but need to have something midday– so lunch i suppose
I never miss a meal, but I’d especially never miss breakfast!
I skip dinner when the evenings get crazy after work. If I do that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night STARVING. I’d never skip breakfast….it’s my fav
breakfast!!!!!
sorry i love breakfast food too.. eggs, cereal, oatmeal, anything!
I could never skip is breakfast… It literally is what gets me out of bed in the morning (especially in the winter when my bed is so warm/cozy). My first thoughts of the day are usually oatmeal? Toast? Hopefully I’m not the only one that debates what to eat while in bed??
Hi love!
I never skip saying I love you to my son and husband or breakfast! <3
It depends with me.. but lately I would say I never skip breakfast!
I love breakfast! Couldnt skip it!
I never miss a meal….I MAKE TIME! Fueling my body is a top priority for me!
I can hardly stand to miss any meal (I become a grumpy, headache-y b****) but breakfast is my #1!
I definitely never skip breakfast…or any other meal really! When life gets crazy I do like to have some quick things I can pack for an easy lunch that can be eaten on the go (e.g., apple, Food for Life english muffin, carrot sticks, string cheese, etc.)
Hands down…breakfast! The world would end the day I forget to eat breakfast.
Skip a meal? You crazy!
I always make time, even if it’s just a protein bar and a piece of fruit!
I tend to skip dinner. I’d rather have a snack for dinner and eat a killer lunch!
I sometimes find myself only having coffee for breakfast these days. No fun
. Especially since I’m on decaf! But I do mix a little hot choc mix in there to make it good. Dinner, however, I never skip! Otherwise I’m up eating at 3am when I’m feeding my little one.
I never skip breakfast, its my moment of peace to start the hectic day!
I never skip a meal! I get too hungry!
I also wanted to tell you that I just started following your blog and I read a few of your older blog posts. You have really helped me understand the meaning of balance, which I have been struggling with for years. I wish there were more blogs like yours out there! Thanks for everything.
I never skip breakfast! i go to bed in anticipation of breakfast!!! YUMMMM!
I’m with you, I hardly ever skip breakfast. Well, I rarely skip any meals haha, but breakfast is usually non-negotiable!
I never, ever skip breakfast anymore. If I do, I become a cranky, miserable wench by mid-morning, and no one needs/wants to see that!
I never skip a meal, I love them all!!
oOoo, I could never skip breakfast! I am far from a morning person, but I make sure to wake up a little earlier to sit down and enjoy my morning meal! (Then it’s off to work…ew)

I love love love the Sweet Cranberry Pecan – always trying to recreate it at home since it isn’t sold near me!
I tend to skip dinner, I’m not a big meal fan, I usually have small snacky meals!
I never skip breakfast. It is always the yummiest
I never miss my evening meal (supper). Sometimes I skip breakfast cause I just don’t feel like it and sometimes I have to work through lunch. But, supper is the time I eat a ton to make up for the stressful day.

I never skip breakfast .. I usually have organic oatmeal with some blueberries in it and a scoop of protein. I just started trying those steel cut oats.. They are good, just have to plan ahead and cook them (there not instant)
I pretty much never skip a meal ever. I think the only meal that is at all likely to go out the window is breakfast if I sleep too late, but I can’t remember the last time that happened.
I never skip breakfast! I always wake up hungry
I’m like you, I cannot skip breakfast. And if time does not allow for lunch, ill just snack.
I never skip breakfast either, but just like you, definitely snack through lunch, and maybe dinner too.
I can’t skip breakfast. I’m a grumpy gal if I do!
Like you, I never skip breakfast. Gotta have it!
I love Love Grown! I hope I win!!
I never skip dinner.
all of them! i can’t afford to skip any meal!
I skip breakfast. I know it’s important to eat it, but I’ve never been a breakfast lover, so it’s easiest for me to skip that meal.
When I was in school, I was able to skip breakfast from time to time, and was never hungry right when I woke up. Now, I ALWAYS eat breakfast, and it is always healthy. But lunch and the occasional dinner have been snacky when necessary…but that is a rare occasion, I hardly miss a meal!
Breakfast is my rock! I am lost without it.
Breakfast is the best. I could eat Bfast foods for every meal. So yeah…I would never not eat it!
I never skip breakfast! I can’t start my day without it.
I tweeted!
Um I don’t think I skip any meal but DEFINITELY not breakfast! No matter how later I’m running, I alwaysss grab breakfast!
I already follow you on twitter but I’ll tweet you too
Breakfast is my savior. Seriously. Without greek yogurt, granola and banana in the morning I wouldn’t be able to function. I love that it revs my metabolism and keeps me full way past lunch (since lunch tends to get skipped if it’s a busy work day).
I could never skip breakfast. It’s my favorite meal! I’m like you, lunch would be the first to go.
I’m with you – I never skip breakfast, but find myself snacking through lunch sometimes.
I never skip breakfast! It’s so imporant and I love it. It’s my favorite meal by far.
I am going to follow LoveGrownFoods on Twitter, but my tweets are protected, so I’m not sure you’ll see it. My name is @taaiiitttt.
Happy Thursday!
My stomach generally dictates my daily activities so I tend to not skip meals, but I’ll say lunch, because breakfast is sometimes snoozed through on weekends
Breakfast is my go to meal for sure. Who would want to skip that first cup of java?! Not this girl !
Honestly, I could skip every meal and just snack all day long. I’m a snacking junkie!
I never skip lunch! Actually Brunch is my favorite meal
Following on Twitter!
I could never ever everrrr skip breakfast!
Breakfast is probably the first thing I skip when I’m busy. I never skip a workout!
I never ever ever ever ever ever skip breakfast! I wake up ravenous every morning, so I have no choice! Plus breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day. NOM
I have never been sooooo busy I skip a meal! That’s a concept I just don’t get…. I need my food, and when I’m busy, I need to break to eat even.more!
I’m with you on breakfast, absolutely love it!
I never skip breakfast! I find that if I skip breakfast, I am tired and cranky all day long. I make sure to grab at least some cheese if I can’t grab anything else!
Love.
I totally agree with you, I can’t skip breakfast! Lunch and dinner can always become snack-like, but breakfast has to stay!
I never skip breakfast. Mainly because I turn into Angry Bear and am worthless until that bear gets some food in it’s belly!
Ooo…I hope I win!
Breakfast! I always try to eat breakfast
I can never ever ever ever ever skip breakfast! Or my coffee for that matter!
I NEVER skip breakfast; it’s my favorite meal of the day!!
I never ever skip breakfast!
I have to eat lunch!! Breakfast I can usually get away with not eating (although I always try to eat it!), but lunch is a must! I am a teacher and I need lunch to get through the day with my 8th graders!
ps. never tried this kind of granola? does that make me an outcast?!
I never NEVER miss breakfast. Sometimes I even have two breakfasts just to be sure I have the meal covered…like today. I’m enjoying breakfast #2 right now!
I don’t think I could ever skip any meal, but if I had to pick one, it would be breakfast. I wake up starving every morning so if I skipped it, I’d probably be pretty cranky until lunch!
I never skip breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love all three! It’s true!
Same with me, breakfast is the one meal I NEVER ever ever skip! Need to rev that metabolism & Break-the-fast, plus its the most delisious food of the day
My bfasts and dinners [and desserts] have been awesome all week, lunch on the other hand has been less than beautiful- a snack plate… But still satisfying!
I never skip bfast, I’m ravenous in the kitchen in the morning- which makes it hard some days when my impatience gets the best of me and I don’t want to wait for anything to cook… Thank goodness cereal is always a winner in my mind ;P
I never skip dessert. It’s important to treat yourself!
Awesome giveaway! When life is going a million miles per hour, I never fail to drink COFFEE!! Meals will come and go, depending on my schedule, but I seruously cannot function without coffee
I never skip meals, although my schedule is so wonky that my usual meals fall at pretty strange times. Still, though, gotta have the first meal of the day because I always wake up hungry no matter what time it is!
I never skip breakfast! occasionally I get busy and forget to each lunch on time, but I rarely skip it completely.
These days, it’d be breakfast. If I don’t grab at least something in the morning I’ll starve at work! And I’d wake up early just to make sure I have time to get a nice breakfast in before the craziness ensues.
I always make sure to eat breakfast! I would turn into a total sloth if I didn’t.
I make sure that I eat dinner, always! I can skip breakfast or lunch (never both though!) but I am cranky in the evenings if I don’t eat dinner.
I never skip breakfast but only because I’m addicted to cereal and don’t want to miss my chance to have it!
I never skip breakfast because it will determine your satiety and energy levels for the rest of the day
i’m with you-bfast is a must–it gets me out of bed most mornings
I never skip breakfast! Aside from it being the most important meal of the day, it’s also my favorite!
Uhhh…I am strictly not a miss-a-meal lady. I can eat lunch later, but there has to be one.
I never skip breakfast even if it is a little late, I have to eat something or I wouldn’t be able to make it through the day.
I never skip breakfast either!! In my opinion I could skip every meal except breakfast and be just fine
Probably not the best of ideas, but hey it would work I guess!!
OMG I need to get my hands on that mascara… your lashes look awesome! And I never skip breakfast either! I’m fine snacking for other meals but breakfast is necessary in my book!
I agree — I never skip breakfast!!
Does Happy Hour count as a meal…..?
I can easily skip breakfast (never hungry in morning?) but neverrr lunch or dinner! My appetite increases as the day goes on!
I echo commenter 104 above! A tequila a day keep the doctor away… right? right?
i’m all about breakfast though… alllll about it. so much so that i could eat breakfast foods for any meal. so this granola would come in handy
I like to use organic (or not!) corn chips with melted cheese and salsa! Quick…not necessarily the healthiest…but it makes me happy!
i’ve been trying so hard to not only EAT breakfast, but eat breakfast AT HOME. I’ve been saving tons of money but now swinging back Bruegger’s every morning for a bagel+coffee. So bring on the granola, boo!
I literally cannot bring myself to skip breakfast..nor would I ever want to! I could eat breakfast foods all day long
i never skip dessert!!!!
I NEVER skip breakfast!
um… that mascara.. AMAZING! i need it now
breakfast! its the best meal of the day.
Skip a meal… whaaaa? I don’t know if I could, haha. But if any were to go it’d probably be dinner. I’d rather just crash into bed than make myself something to eat. Hope you get some sleep soon!
skipping meals is NOT an option for me, no matter how fast life is going. i’ll put life on hold before skipping a meal.
I pretty much always skip breakfast, which I know is a terrible habit. I never skip lunch though. It’s my favorite meal of the day.
Definitely breakfast. I will cry and/or pass out if I don’t eat in the morning.
I NEVER skip breakfast but i may pass lunch if i wake up too late!
I never skip dinner. EVER. I can’t sleep if I’m hungry, but I also can’t stay up late unless I have a good solid meal.
I’m following @lovegrownfoods on twitter and i tweeted about this giveaway! I LOVE love grown granola!
Hate to skip any meals! But if I did lunch would probably be the one to get looked over.
I can’t skip any meal ever because I am always hungry haha but the most important one to me is breakfast! If I don’t eat it I am completely starving and grouchy and cannot start my day!
Hmmm, on a really busy day? I don’t skip snacks! They count as a meal, right? I pack little treats for myself as I walk (back and forth) across campus.
I never skip breakfast ’cause I’d be staaarving the whole day!
I always eat something at the end of the day (dinner v. late night snack).
I CAN NEVER skip breakfast…I love it too much. haha
I never skip breakfast either. I’m all about the cottage cheese drenched in maple syrup and granola!
Breakfast is a MUST. I wait tables, so I tend to miss lunch often, but I make up for it at dinner
I never eeeeever skip breakfast, or I am at risk of eating my own arm off.
I’ve eaten breakfast my whole life and could never go without! It also happens to typically be my fave meal of the day
Following!
I never skip breakfast…it’s the best meal of the day!
Definitely lunch. I get easily swept away by work stuff and have to snack instead of have a big meal!
I never skip dessert!!
my breakfast always stays, but only because it’s less likely that i’m busy by then! dinner is most likely to go, because i’ll snack away the afternoon when i’m stressed and ruin my dinner!
i can never skip breakfast, and it must involve peanut butter! and to be honest, dessert never gets missed either…
can’t ever miss breakfast
Girl, I never miss ANY meals! But if I had to pick one to nix, dinner.
I definitely make sure to never skip breakfast!
Never ever miss dinner!
NEVER EVER skip breakfast! My favorite meal of the day
i could never miss breakfast!!!
never miss breakfast!! i am usually always hungry when i wake up and love breakfast foods (peanut/almond butter, eggs, yogurt, waffles, ahhh so many!)
I NEVER skip breakfast, favorite meal of the day. Lunch is my least favorite…it’s not that I skip it it’s just that I will graze right through it!
I never skip breakfast. Even when I have to be out the door by 5:30, I make sure I wake up early enough to eat breakfast. Otherwise, I get cranky.
I never skip breakfast!
never skip breakfast! even breakfast for dinner!
I never skip any meals when I’m busy, because I still get hung-ry!!
Hope I score some ‘nola!
I don’t think I’ve skipped dinner ever in my life. I like my breakfast, but I have done without and the sky didn’t fall. I’d have to say, though, that when I’m busy – especially if I have to work an awkward shift like 11-7 – lunch is almost certain to be skipped. I’ll sip a cappuccino on my break for a boost and then EXTRA enjoy dinner. :]
I can’t skip breakfast either!
I can’t skip breakfast!…with a side of java of course
Thanks so much for this opportunity!
I definitely never skip breakfast, but I agree, I could totally snack through lunch!
I never skip ANY meals!!! My life revolves around eating!! LOL
The only time I’ve ever skipped breakfast is when I got my wisdom teeth pulled!! But in all fairness… I never ever miss any meals : )
I never skip breakfast, normally I tend to skip dinner if it’s a cray cray kinda day!
The meal I never skip is dinner.. It relaxes and calms me to stop the whirlwind and concentrate on one task: making something delicious and nutritious!
I also tweeted about this giveaway!
I never skip breakfast. Even if it occurs at lunch time – I will eat breakfast food everyday! =)
I’ve skipped dinner several times in the past. Mostly because of being at work. I’d just come home late and stuff something in my face before going night night!!
I’ll definitely snack through my lunch or even dinner, but always munch breakfast. there’s too many good breakfast foods to skip out!
BREAKFAST!! While i was dealing with disordered eating issues i thought breakfast was the devil. I couldnt imagine wasting calories so early in the day. Now that i am (thankfully) past that awful stage in life, i could not bare to give up my breakfast! My mornings are so wondeful for me… eating breakfast and savouring food and all the great things it does for my body… all while drinking a hot cup of joe and collecting my thoughts and goals for the day. It’s seriously the best!!
breakfast start my day!! i rarely skip other meals either…but they are more likely to be off-schedule than breakfast =)
i HAVE to do breakfast unless i want to be a zombie for the entire day!
I never skip breakfast either. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything because I would be thinking about food all day.
Since my schedule changes daily, breakfast is at different times or non-existent. But I never skip lunch!!
I never skip lunch. I can only ignore my hunger for so long!
Your lashes look amazing–they are so long!
I can never skip dinner. I’m too hungry by the end of the day.
I NEVER skip breakfast. I really couldn’t if I tried. I wake up hungry and ready to dig in!
I NEED BREAKFAST. IE: I literally think of what I want to eat before my feet hit the ground in the morning. Taking out the dog before I eat is my personal, daily sacrifice…and no wimpy breakfasts like a yogurt or a banana will do…I need weight and sustenance!
)))))))))
Breakfast, always! I seriously would be one crabby girl without it.. And wouldn’t focus on anything. That’s asking for a bad day.
Breakfast is usually the first to go for me. I almost never skip lunch or dinner.
Breakfast. I need it. Ya know?
I never skip lunch! If I’m too busy for breakfast, I just call lunch “brunch”
Never a dinner skipper but I tend to be a lunch skipper, whenever things get crazy busy I keep putting lunch off until I realize it is about 5 pm.
I somehow always seem to skip lunch. It’s terrible. I need to stop doing because inevitably I am always starving come dinner time and then I eat way too much.
I never skip breakfast! Doing so makes me cranky and feeling off balance for the rest of the day.
I never skip dinner, but my breakfast and lunch times get very random!
Definitely can’t skip breakfast! I don’t think I could concentrate in the morning without something in my stomach!
I can’t skip breakfast unless I wake up after “breakfast time” and then I have to eat lunch! (the woes of college life)
breakfast is my jam, no matter how fast life is coming at me.
Never EVER breakfast, but possibly lunch… only if snacking was involved both mid- morning and afternoon! I definitely feel privileged to not have to skip meals and never take for granted the fact that I’m able to eat quality meals every day.
Same here, lunch definitely is the first to go, it is so easy to work work work and skip it accidentally!
breakfast for sure! without it i’m a lost soul
breakfast always gets in my belly!
Hmmm. I don’t skip any meals (I become a grumpty biotch!) but I’d have to say good ol’ breakfast. Always gotta start my day on a high note…aka with food.
Breakfast used to be the easiest meal to skip, now I cannot function without it! Agreed lunch is easy to snack through and on most busy days I find myself doing just that.
without a doubt, breakfast! i dream about it at night so skipping would crush my soulllll hahah
I definitely never skip breakfast either!
I will never, ever skip breakfast. I look forward to it and it gets me going for the day.
I never skip breakfast, except maybe if I sleep late, then I will just have some kind of a breakfast/lunch hybrid
I can never skip breakfast!!
I’m just like you- never skip breakfast but have been known to graze through lunchtime without a proper ‘meal’
Breakfast is a must..handsdown!
I very rarely skip breakfast. I always end up in a super bad mood when I do!!
never skip breakfast! I can skip lunch or dinner (meaning have a granola bar or something quick rather than sit down meal) but NOT bfast! I need something substantial to get me going
Breakfast, definitely.
Love your blog..and name;) I meet very few kaileys that spell it the same way I do! I never skip breakfast. If I do it sets me up for a day of very unhealthy eating. I am much more likely to nourish my body properly throughout the day if I start my morning with a nutritious, hardy meal.
I NEVER skip dinner. I can’t fall asleep with my tummy rumblin’!
