#LunchWithLo Episode 8: 3 Ways to Use Infused Olive Oil Without Cooking

This week’s episode is a shorty little snack sized episode (have you all caught on to the pattern yet?). I’ve got three smart ideas for using up your infused olive oil (or any oil, but olive is preferable in at least two of these examples). First, bread dipping oil. I like using a finely grated parmesan, a drizzle of balsamic, and spices like salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Another way to use

#LunchWithLo Episode 7: Roasted Potatoes with Infused Olive Oil

I love potatoes as a side dish. To the point that we eat some version of this dish 3 or 4 times a week. This week, I decided to infuse some olive oil with THC to kick my dinners up a notch and roast my potatoes with that, instead of just plain old olive oil. Guess what, it tasted just about the same as my non-infused version and it’s super easy to do.  I don’t

#LunchWithLo Episode 6: Box Mix Magic

This week’s episode is a quickie all about turning those box mixes at the grocery store into edibles. I love cooking but not everyone has the time, or energy to bake from scratch. No judgements here. Being able to cook at home all the time like I do is a privilege that I haven’t always been able to enjoy due to time.  Plus, there’s no reason to make life harder if you don’t need to

#LunchWithLo Episode 5: Infused Poppyseed Dressing and Arugula Salad

You guys, I am so excited about this week’s episode of Lunch With Lo. I’m finally bringing you a full, delicious, stand alone salad that’s actually perfect for lunch and the warming weather.  I know it’s a salad but it is decidedly not vegan or vegetarian friendly because I used the infused bacon fat from episode 3, however, you can easily replace the bacon fat infusion with vegetable oil in your dressing (I’m going to

#LunchWithLo Episode 4: Using Up Leftover Butter

If you’ve ever ended up with a small amount of leftover infused butter, you may have struggled to find a good use for it. Have no fear, friends, because I’ve got a tasty, quick recipe for you to use it all up: candied nuts. Just melt together an equal part of butter and brown sugar (1 to 2 tablespoons of each per cup of nuts) into a smooth syrup and then toss with a cup

#LunchWithLo Episode 3: Kief Infused Bacon Fat Recipe

This week’s episode of #lunchwithlo is a super easy method for infusing butter, fat, and oil with cannabis. I used bacon fat, but you can replace that with any fat or oil that you prefer (as I mentioned several times in this episode, lol). I like using bacon fat because I hate to dispose of it and it makes for a tasty salad dressing base. Also, it’s great to grease a cookie sheet for chocolate

#LunchWithLo Episode 2: Lickit Lollipop Review

This week’s episode of Lunch With Lo is all about my favorite edibles in Colorado: Canyon Cultivation‘s LickIt Lollipops #thcsweetlife.  I’m calling this one a snack sized episode because I didn’t make anything, I’m just showing off someone else’s tasty treats. However, this episode is actually longer than my last episode. Oops. Guess I talk too much.  In the future, Snack Sized editions of #lunchwithlo will be shorter and easier to digest.  Like last week,

#LunchWithLo Episode 1: Lavender Gin & Tonic with DRAM CBD

I’m so excited to officially launch my cannabis focused cooking channel: Lunch With Lo. This has been a year in the making. And really, maybe even my entire lifetime in the making.  The first episode is a super simple sleepy time cocktail packed with some CBD, lavender simple syrup, and the only good gin out there, Hendrick’s. This little glass packs a punch and is sure to get you ready for bed.

[INFOGRAPHIC] The Science of the Munchies

One question I frequently hear from people about my cannabis use is how do I reconcile that with my desire for physical fitness. There’s a reason why people associate cannabis use with never ending, unhealthy snacking — because cannabis makes everything taste and smell better. It does trigger a hunger response. Which is one reason why I won’t keep my favorite lactose free ice cream in the house on the regular.   It’s common knowledge that consuming cannabis
