#LunchWithLo Episode 24: Infused Roasted Beet Salad with Dwight Schrute

For halloween this year, I decided to dress up as Dwight Schrute. And then I thought I’d take it a step further by doing an entire episode as dear Dwight and make a delicious roasted beet salad (the original recipe can be found here).  I made a few changes to the dressing recipe to make it cannabis infused. And definitely not vegan (sorry people, I know there are a few of you).  For the dressing,

#LunchWithLo Episode 22: Cannabis Infused Vegan Peppermint Mocha Creamer

This episode was a Facebook follower request that I just had to jump on. Infused coffee creamer. I decided to jazz it up and not just make a plain old creamer, but make a fall flavored favorite like Peppermint Mocha. And since I’m extra nice, I even included a recipe below for pumpkin spice flavored creamer, despite my strong distate for PSL. I’m not going to bore you with a long winded explanation about why

#LunchWithLo Episode 21: Infused Peanut Butter Truffles & Ways to Minimize the Edible Smell

It’s that spooky season and I know everyone is pretty excited about it. So I thought it would be cool to infuse what I’m calling a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Taste-A-Like. It’s not exactly a replica since, these little devils are ball shaped and not cup shaped, but they’re pretty close to a similar flavor and texture.  For this recipe, I used 5.5 grams of whole cannabis called Pineapple Planet. It’s just what I had

#LunchWithLo Episode 20: Common Questions About Making Edibles

I can’t believe we made it episode 20! Thank you for supporting my edible journey.  This episode does not feature a recipe. I do apologize. If I had realized that this was going to be number 20 when I planned them, I might have done something a little more fun. This episode does, however, feature answers to some of the questions about edibles I hear over and over again. Like: What is decarbing? How do

#LunchWithLo Episode 19: Cannabis-Infused Basil Pesto

One of my favorite herbs has got to be this African Blue Basil I’m using in this week’s recipe. I am absolutely obsessed with these big beautiful plants. I clone them constantly hoping to have a half dozen of them around my house (and to give away about a half dozen more).  If you’ve never made pesto before, you should totally start. It’s so simple and easy and incredibly flavorful. Plus, it’s one of those

#LunchWithLo Episode 18: How To Make Cannabis Tinctures Two Ways

Cannabis tinctures are so versatile. You can use them to make candy and other sugar based edibles. You can take them sublingually (or under the tongue). You can reduce the alcohol to almost nothing to make a gel to fill capsules with.  They’re also a lot easier to make than I would have imagined. In this week’s episode of Lunch With Lo, I’m discussing two different ways to make tinctures. One that requires almost no equipment

#LunchWithLo Episode 17: Infused Colorado Peach Iced Tea

Do you like your iced tea sweet or unsweet? I kind of like them both but it really depends on the day which one I would grab first.  This recipe is definitely sweet. And it is also delicious. I took my cannasugar recipe to make some peach simple syrup to make this delcious, seasonal iced tea. Perfect for the last few scorching hot days of summer over the labor day weekend.  Cannasugar is the only

#LunchWithLo Episode 16: Cannabis-infused Butter Hack – Limited Equipment

This week I’m showing off a really cool hack I read about years ago that will allow you to infuse butter without using a strainer or cheesecloth. This is a great hack if you don’t have all the tools and equipment to strain out your flower from your butter. This method will work with any fat that solidifies when cool (think coconut oil, animal fat, shortening, etc).  I was really surprised at how well this

#LunchWithLo Episode 14: Cannabis-Infused Sugar

As soon as I found out you could infuse sugar with cannabis I knew I wanted to try it out. It sounded so easy and after trying it out myself, I’m inclined to believe that’s true.  The hardest part was finding the Everclear because I’ve literally never even seen it before. Because of the type of people who I’ve seen drink it, I assumed it’d be found on the bottle shelf. And yes, I did

#LunchWithLo Episode 13: Infused Caramel Corn

Caramel corn is such an easy, delicious snack to make and it’s even better when infused. The combination of salty and sweet is a hard one to beat. Not going to lie, I ate this whole batch of kief infused caramel corn in about a week. No self control, what can I say. *shrugs* The great thing about this recipe is that the caramel sauce can be used to candy up almost anything you can
