I know what you are thinking... "I thought she said breakfast was the most important meal". Well, every meal is important. Breakfast is needed to give you the energy to get your day started. Lunch is a your refueling, and if done correctly, also a mental health break. Dinner is a nutritional charge and can also be nourishment to your relationships.
With schedules being jam packed with work, school, running the kids around, errands and, well, life... we tend to neglect the most important thing, relationships.
