21 Days of Giveaways: Love Grown Granola

First thing's first - congratulations to the winner of 2 packs of SoftWrap Minis from La Tortilla Factory - #5, Linz @ Itz Linz! You rock! Email me you address so I can get those coupons mailed out to you!

It's true. I really want to be a Love Grown Blogger. Unfortunately, I missed the recent application process for becoming one. Until I become a Love Grown Blogger, I can still show my love for their granola! All the flavors are delicious (I haven't tried chocolate yet because it is unfortunately not sold in Cincinnati yet), plus they are healthy and better for you than other granolas. 

Funny story about Love Grown. I was in Kroger (a local grocery store here in Cincinnati) a couple years ago with my parents and I saw the big Love-mobile (not sure what you call it) with LOVE GROWN written all over it. I knew this was granola I had been wanting to try, and I knew that bus meant there were samples. 

I went running into the store, only to find that Maddy (one of the creators) was just packing up her stuff and putting more granola on the shelves. My mother asked if she had been sampling, and she replied that they had just finished. My mom asked if the granola was vegan (it was not because of honey - I was a vegan at the time) and said she should make some vegan granola. Maddy was really sweet and talked about how some vegans eat honey and others didn't. After that, my mom decided to buy a bag of the apple walnut granola (Maddy was excited!) and we left. 

Weird, huh? 

Anyways, I love this granola. And guess what? One lucky reader is going to win this insanely awesome prize pack from Love Grown! You will win:

-Two 12oz. bags of granola. You can choose what two flavors!

-One mini bag of each flavor

-Coupons, clings, & magnets 

I sure wish I could win this myself! How cool and nice of Love Grown!

WIAW #23: Procrastination & The Hunger Games

Welcome to another week of WIAW! 

At first, I was not going to participate in WIAW this week - I have been so absorbed in reading The Hunger Games before the movie comes out this Friday (and getting sunburned in the process, I might add...) that I have been severely procrastinating on my homework all day today. Well, hey, at least I finished the first book in the series in two days, right? That's a pretty big accomplishment. And it was so good! I literally could not put it down. And then, when I told myself to do homework, I picked up the second book and began reading. 

Uhg. 

So, seriously - I have to go do homework. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to WIAW with my other blogger friends :)

The other thing I've been realizing recently is how much I'm blessed. I have so many product reviews coming up, and I literally could live off of the food in my dorm room for weeks. I have been. Every time I try to gobble up all my food, piles more miraculously appear. It's ridiculous. But I'm so blessed to be able to do this, and to live this way! I've also realized that I've been neglecting God a little lot recently, and I need to stop that. I need to get myself back on track. Last night, when my mind was still preoccupied with The Hunger Games, I opened my Bible to this passage:

Psalm 71. There were two parts in this passage I really needed to hear: Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go, and deliver me, O my God, from the hands of the wicked. That is what stuck with me. I need to get myself together and be the better person I know I can be. 

On to this weeks eats!

{breakfasts} Love Grown granola with yogurt & banana, granola with almond butter, honey, & vanilla flax milk {lunches} tofurky sandwiches with mustard, carrots & hummus, fresh fruit {dinners} pesto rice & steamed carrots, portobella mushroom fajitas {snacks} peanut butter, apple sauce, m&ms

On a side note, wanna see some cute pictures?

My puppy, Piper! In a tutu :) So cute!

That's all she wrote, folks! Time to do homework....maybe :) 

Much love,
