#LunchWithLo Episode 12: Cannabis Infused Horchata Pops

When one of my Twitter followers suggested that I make frozen horchata pops, I was a little hesitant. To be honest, I can only think of trying horchata maybe a couple of times and it’s not really a dish of my culture, so I wasn’t sure if I even should try it.  Then I did a little research and realized that horchata has roots in several cultures and it’s an incredibly easy drink to make.

Confessions of a Former Picky Eater

“You have such will power.”  An office worker in my elementary school said to me when I turned down a fancy chocolate in a fancy box. I laughed, understanding what she meant, even at 9 years old (which hello that’s fucked up), but knowing deep down inside the real reason is that I was nervous about the taste. That I wouldn’t like it and I’d have to show another adult just how picky of an

#LunchWithLo Episode 11: Kief Infused Hummus Recipe

I am so excited about this week’s episode. Hummus is one of my favorite snacks. Whether I’m slathering it on some pita or munching on some carrots, it’s a staple in my home. I don’t know why I didn’t think of infusing it sooner since it’s incredibly easy to make and the high fat content makes it an excellent vessel for cannabis.  I used this recipe from Epicurious as a starting point, but veered a

It’s Time For A Giveaway!

It’s DAB’S DAY!!! Hooray!  If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a “holiday” similar to 4/20 except today we honor all things concentrates. Because if you flipped today’s date (7/10) on its head, it would read OIL. I don’t really dab unless someone brings a rig over to my apartment but I do always have a little wax to stick in my Kiln (a small ceramic chambered e-cig attachment made for waxy, oily concentrates).  This giveaway is actually

5 Tactics to Get Through a Bad Edible Experience

I don’t want to sound too braggy but I’ve not had a bad edible experience yet. I’ve always been a little apprehensive towards substances in general and have always erred on the cautious side when it comes to cannabis edibles. However, I’ve seen a handful of friends have a bad time with either edibles or smoking to know what you need to do in the event of a bad trip. The most important thing to

#LunchWithLo Episode 10: Kief Infused Honey

At the suggestion of Peter/@ChronicKryoatics, I am sharing my version of Honest Marijuana Co’s Cannabis Infused Honey recipe. The main difference between my version and theirs is that I am using, you guessed it, kief rather than whole flower.  For this infusion, I decarbed 2 grams of kief in an oven for about 30 minutes at 240 degrees Fahrenheit. I put the kief in a cheese cloth sack, placed that in a jar that seals

5 Easy Fixes to Get Back into Your Routine After a Slump

I think it’s very important to take time off. You need to recharge and relax. It’s just as important as getting things done. We are not machines, but even if we were… machines break down from overuse, too. However, as easy as it is to sit down and give yourself a time out, it’s equally as hard to get back on track. Especially if you let that break drag on a little longer than you

The Do’s and Don’ts of Attending a Comedy Show

My first date with my husband was seeing Bill Burr at Comedy Works in Denver. Both of us are kind of obsessed with stand-up. It’s our thing. There are few comedians we don’t enjoy. Together, we’ve seen some incredible acts. Legends like Dave Chappelle and Dave Attell. And nearly every funny woman who’s come through Comedy Works: Chelsea Peretti, Christina P, Ali Wong, Nicole Byer, Fortune Feimster. I’ve never left a show with a bad thought

8 Essential Tools for Making Edibles at Home

I don’t want to brag or anything but I think I’m becoming kind of an edible expert (see the nearly dozen episodes of Lunch With Lo, but also, I’m using “expert” lightly). And I’ve figured out that to make good infusions for at home edible creations, you really only need 8 tools (well, besides the cannabis and whatever other ingredient you’re infusing). It’s incredibly easy to begin making your own cannabis infused edibles all you

#LunchWithLo Episode 9: THC Infused Bacon Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of my favorite desserts/snacks are chocolate chip cookies. I like to take it up a notch by throwing bacon fat in there. It’s saltiness balances out the sweetness of the cookie and chocolate. The ultimate delicacy when you’re feeling the munchies creep on.  For this recipe, I used a standing mixer because it’s easier. But if you don’t have one, you can still make this by hand. Ingredients 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup bacon
