#66: Infused Chocolate Ganache Truffles

@justhighlo November 2, 2022 No Comments

Long time no see, Pot Lunchers. How the hell are ya? I hope you’re good enough. That’s all we can hope for, really, as we all slow boil into society’s end. And if the end is nigh, at least we can get high, or something like that.  That’s what this brand new recipe and episode hopes to help with.  I’ve been wanting to make some kind of infused chocolate treat for a while now but every attempt

How to Pick Vegan or Plant Butter for Cannabis Infusions

@justhighlo September 22, 2022 No Comments

Although I’m a very pro butter cook, I understand that dietary restrictions, medical complications, and lifestyle choices can exclude a lot of people from wanting to make cannabis-infused foods. More often than not, our first experiences with making cannabis-infused foods at home include stumbling through a cannabutter recipe. If you can’t have dairy butter, for whatever reason, what are your options for making that kind of infusion at home? Coconut oil is often touted as

What Information Should I put on Edible Food Labels?

@justhighlo September 22, 2022 No Comments

One side effect of becoming the “person who makes edibles” in your social circle is frequently asking if you’ll make a treat for a friend or family member. Since I have limited time and desire to be in the kitchen, I don’t often say an outright yes to these requests and make a general announcement: “come over, bring a container and take what you want.”  As much as I love my friends, I have noticed

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

#60 How to Infuse Store-bought Condiments

@justhighlo September 4, 2021 No Comments

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

@justhighlo August 21, 2021 No Comments

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
