Weekend Recap and Answers about Wheatgrass

Hey All! I hope you had a great weekend! Ours was pretty busy with visiting family. Always a nice time though. Anyway, I got a lot of questions regarding growing wheatgrass and first I want to say T is the grower! LOL! So I will answer what I can, but he is the one who did the research and is really into it. We haven't calculated how much money we would save growing our own, but that is definitely something T would do! HA HA! I will ask him to do the math later. Also, we were using organic wheatgrass seeds that we bought at Whole Foods, but now we started using wheat berry seeds in the bulk section of Whole Foods, thanks Kelli for the recommendation. Growing wheatgrass is pretty simple, you basically rinse and soak the seeds and then plant them. T watched a video online and followed that. Here is our grass after a few days and the taller one has been growing for one week. That one will be ready by tomorrow.
Now onto the weekend, here we are before heading down to see our family. My cousin was home from college and hasn't seen Baby A since Christmas, she couldn't believe how big she got! On a side note, my cousin wanted to read Skinny Bitch so I let her borrow my copy along with the cookbook! *fingers crossed*
We hit up our favorite health food store for lunch before heading to my parents house. I had a raw collard wrap with lots of veggies, sprouts and raw cashew mayo! YUM!
We had dinner at my Mother in law's: kale, brown rice, eggplant, and zucchini all smothered in her homemade tomato sauce. So good!!!
On Sunday we did our grocery shopping at Whole Foods, and had lunch. I made a big salad (surprise) of raw kale, avocado, peppers, olives, cabbage, olives and on the side I had a scoop of yellow Indian rice.
After that we stayed in and watched the movie "The Town". Have you seen it? I thought it was pretty good, and I don't mind staring at Ben Affleck for 2 hours! He he! ;) Have a great day all!

How fun for you to grow your own wheat grass. We use to run a charter school and had the students do it as a project. We found that the liquid tasted much better when we didn't let the grass get to tall. We also found that we had an abundance of it so we put the extra liquid in ice trays and froze it. Then when we wanted some, we would plop a cube or two in a glass of water, then drink it down. Not bad!

Baby A's hair! so adorable =) Oh yes, we've seen the Town!...I may have gone on opening day;) You guys rock growing wheatgrass, we've been researching it for a while now, but haven't ordered the supplies...still buying the packs. I think we'll order from sproutpeople. Just not sure what medium we want to use yet. Can you ask T what one you use? I think Dave is excited about the saving money part too.

Ok, the last time you posted your collard wrap sandwich, I immediately wrote down all the ingredients. I even purchased the collards. But sadly, I got distracted (story of my life...). However, seeing this again, I'm rewriting and heading to the store tomorrow! Can't wait :)
