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

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

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

#PotLunch 55: Infused Non-Alcoholic Piña Colada

@justhighlo May 8, 2021 No Comments

This recipe was adapted from here. You ever just wish you were on some tropical beachy island vacation sipping on something that tastes like your locale? I know I’m not alone. Unfortunately, as I creep closer and closer to middle age I have found that alcohol and I are not a great combination. If not for the shenanigans, then for the hangover the next day. No thank you. But I still want to taste something

#54: Best Decarb Method

@justhighlo April 17, 2021 No Comments

Earlier this year I kept seeing ads for a potency testing device. I saw the ads enough that I was finally like, ok, I’ll bite. Because who DOESN’T want to know how potent their homemade edibles are? That’s probably the biggest downfall of making edibles at home: not knowing precisely how potent or not your final product is. I’ll be posting a longer review about the actual device in a couple of weeks, but in

What is compound butter?

@justhighlo March 31, 2021 No Comments

I want to talk about an ingredient that has become an essential staple in my kitchen: compound butter. This is what takes the gorgeous cuts of beef I pick up at the butcher shop from good enough to great. A big fat scoop of the Kitchenista’s Citrus and Herb Butter on top of my filet is damn near my favorite thing I have been making lately. What is compound butter? Compound butter is butter that

Sometimes you just want an easy edible that you don’t have to think a lot about. I hear you. The last few weeks that’s about all I’ve been able to manage. Between seasonal depression and also the never-ending poo storm that is society compounded with the pandemic, it’s been a miracle I’ve showered nearly every day. Some days that’s all I can accomplish. I’ve seen a lot of folks around the interwebs infusing snacks that

How to Maximize Your High for Cardio

@justhighlo January 14, 2021 No Comments

I’m a daily cannabis user, and as of March 2017, a total treadmill and gym enthusiast. I know it probably sounds antithetical, to the uninformed, to be both a daily user and gym rat, but here I am. And I’m not alone. Anecdotally, many cannabis-friendly folks have commented that getting high to workout can help you push harder, with less injury. I would testify to that myself, except I haven’t worked out sober since college
