What Information Should I put on Edible Food Labels?

@justhighlo September 22, 2022 No Comments

One side effect of becoming the “person who makes edibles” in your social circle is frequently asking if you’ll make a treat for a friend or family member. Since I have limited time and desire to be in the kitchen, I don’t often say an outright yes to these requests and make a general announcement: “come over, bring a container and take what you want.”  As much as I love my friends, I have noticed

Why I LOVE THC Infused Drinks

@justhighlo September 7, 2022 No Comments

I have been using and making cannabis edibles off and on for about 15 years. At first, I would make the typical boxed brownies that would send my friends into space while I’d be sitting there pissed off that I wasted all that flower. Now that I’m approaching my 10,000 hours (I have to be close, right?), I have learned that I just need to focus on edibles that are primarily absorbed through my mouth

The 6 Cooking and Food Books I Turn to the Most

@justhighlo August 30, 2022 No Comments

I love books. A lot. And while most of my reading is done on a cheap and not very well made Chinese e-reader because I just had to have an e-ink screen with access to the google play store, I do like to keep a selection of real books for reference purposes. Especially food and cooking books. The list below is not all of my cookbooks but they are the ones I’ve been turning to

8 Flavors the Scream Summer to Me

@justhighlo August 23, 2022 No Comments

Summer is my favorite time. I like lounging in the sun, letting the sweat bead up on me, and a cold glass of something sweet. I love the slow lazy days of summer.  I bet that is surprising because so many things about me say fall bitch, but no, I wait all year for days that make most people want to hide in a freezer. The only thing I am missing in my life right

Tips for expanding your palate from a former picky eater

@justhighlo January 20, 2022 No Comments

I wrote previously on this blog about how I used to be an incredibly picky eater. I mean painfully so. Especially for others around me. So selective that my husband still teases me now about what I got away with not eating as a child. My mom was highly lenient despite constant abuse from other adults who were not my parents.  You can read my thoughts on that in the other post linked here. That

Which is more potent? 2 hour infusions or 6 hour infusions?

@justhighlo October 21, 2021 No Comments

We are back at our potency testing competitions and this week we’re going to find out just how much of a difference there is between a 2 hour infusion and a 6 hour infusion.  TBH, I was kind of surprised by the results, even though my gut kind of had a feeling all along.  I’m not going into too much detail here about the results (but if you would like a transcript, I’ll happily provide

#60 How to Infuse Store-bought Condiments

@justhighlo September 4, 2021 No Comments

I’m always on the hunt for the simplest way to incorporate cannabis into my meals. I like my medicated drinks and dishes to be quick and accessible. Because when you need it,  you usually need it immediately. It’s one of the reasons why I usually turn to cannabis-infused drinks. Alcohol tinctures are versatile and I can add a few mL’s to any drink already in my fridge with very little prep or fanfare.  Infusing store

Pot Lunch Episode #59 Cannabis-infused Peach Tart

@justhighlo September 2, 2021 No Comments

I am here for peach season. I live for it every summer when the farmer’s market is full of fresh colorado grown stone fruit. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to make some more infused peach goodies. In fact, this is the first of several peach recipes you’re going to see on the blog this fall.  The inspiration for this recipe came from a blog called Rainbow Plantlife, with a few changes (you’ll see).

Pot Lunch Episode #58 Cannabis-infused Lavender Lemonade Pops

@justhighlo August 21, 2021 No Comments

It’s been incredibly hot here in Colorado Springs. And hot, sweaty, summer days call for icy, refreshing, popsicles.  When I was a kid, that’s all I wanted in the summer during the day. One thousand popsicles please, mom, thank you. Now that I’m older, I still love a frosty popsicle on a hot day, but my palette has evolved and requires something a little more flavorful and well rounded than those sugar water pops I

Pot Lunch Episode #57: How to Make Cannabis-infused Peanut Butter

@justhighlo August 14, 2021 No Comments

One food love that has stuck with me since childhood is peanut butter. What’s not to love about peanut butter? It’s a little sweet, a little salty, and creamy. *Chef’s Kiss* It is perfect in my opinion, for a quick snack or to curb the munchies, IYKWIM.  Of course, adding cannabis to peanut butter probably takes away some of its hunger-stomping powers, but that’s ok! Because I think peanut butter and cannabis may just go
