Looking to get started with your edible-making journey? You’ll find everything you need to start infusing in this section.

#LunchWithLo Episode 28: Infusing The Kitchenista’s Eggnog Bread Pudding

I’m doing things a little different this week and not so much showing off a recipe as I am showing how to take any recipe from any cookbook or website and turn it into a delicious cannabis-infused treat.  The recipe in question is from The Kitchenista’s Holiday Cookbook, which I highly encourage you to purchase and try out some recipes. The mac and cheese recipe alone is worth the price of the entire book. This is

#LunchWithLo Episode 27: Cannabis-infused Whipped Cream Recipe

This week’s Lunch With Lo is a snack-sized follow up to the Infused Pumpkin Pie episode. That is right, I’m finally showing off how to make that cannabis-infused whipped cream featured on top of that beautiful, delicious piece of pumpkin pie.  On its own, this whipped cream did have a strong cannabis flavor, but that dissipates when mixed with the pumpkin pie. I think this would make an excellent quick cake frosting, but perhaps it

Super Simple Salad Dressing Formula

I’m not going to lie to you and say that salads are tasty and fun and great to eat. I eat my salad in this order: greens first, saving all the cheese, nuts, and other goodies for last, so I can finish my meal with a smile. However, I do believe that a tasty dressing made to your liking will take that salad from a 5 to a 7.5 (out of 10).  Additionally, when you

#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 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 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 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

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 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
