#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.

#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

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

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

#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
