One of my sisters had grown wheat grass for a party&nbsp; in the past. She said it was super easy and that I should give it a shot. I went ahead and bought my wheat grass seeds online and planted them and let them sit in the garage covered with sopping wet paper towels. Feeling like I was on an episode of Breaking Bad, doing a weird science experiment, waiting for them to sprout, I had to punch myself in the face a few times for not putting this higher up on the party to do list. After they sprouted I put them in the sun and started praying that they would sprout and grow.&nbsp;<br /></div>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div> <hr class="styled-hr" style="width:100%;"></hr> <div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span style="color:rgb(144, 153, 159)">They didn't.

Buying $50 of wheat grass. When I had put so much love and dedication into my stupid seeds. The party turned out absolutely adorable! And my family still talks about how committed of part planners we once were! I can't say I've had the time to watercolor labels for food lately!</span><br /></div>  <div><div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div> <div id='290646304623687953-slideshow'></div> <div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
