Tis the holiday season and people do enjoy a nice cake after any holiday meal. What’s better than a medicated pineapple upside down cake? While being extremely sweet and delicious, this recipe will teach you how to make a medicate pineapple upside down cake that you’ll be able to share this holiday with whoever you see fit!

 

What You’ll Need;

 

2 eggs

6 or 7 canned pineapple slices, drained

3/4 cup milk

2 cups cake flour

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar

12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) cannabutter, at room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 /½ tablespoons dark rum

2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 or 7 maraschino cherries

1 1/8 teaspoons baking powder

 

Start off by putting a rack on the lower third of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take a 9-inch round pie pan and place the pineapple slices flat in the bottom of the the pan. Be sure that the slices are touching but don’t overlap. In a small saucepan on medium heat, take 6 tablespoons of canna butter with 1/2 a cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar. While the butter melts, stir the mixture to blend the ingredients together and then spread the mix over the pineapple slices. Set the pie pan aside for now.

 

Using a medium bowl, sift together the baking powder, cake flour, and the salt. Then, set it aside as well. Grab a small bowl this time and whisk together the rum, milk, remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and the vanilla. Set this bowl to the side with the rest of them. Take a large electric mixer and in a large bowl, beat together the remaining 6 tablespoons of canna butter for 1 to 2 minutes until the mix is smooth and creamy. Slowly add in the 1 1/2 cups of the granulated sugar and continue to beat at a medium speed until the mix is light and fluffy. 

 

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after you put in each one. Reducing the mixture speed to low, add the flour mixture in three additions. Alternate this with the milk mixture until everything’s mixed together and smooth. Pour this batter in to the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Put the cake in the preheated over until you can take a toothpick out of the center of the cake out clean. This should be around 50-55 minutes. Put the pan on a wire rack and cool it for 15 minutes. By tapping the pan gently, loosen the cake. Run a knife around the edge and then invert the cake on to a cake place so that the pineapple slices are on top. Place a single cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. After 45 minutes of cooling, the cake will be good to eat! Enjoy! 

There are hundreds of ways to make cannabis butter. People have little tips and tricks that will hopefully maximize the effect you get. But be sure that you’re using a high quality strain of cannabis. The type of weed you use will greatly effect the outcome of your butter. As always, you can store the butter in the fridge for later cooking!

 

In a medium saucepan, bring a quart of water to boiling on the stove. The amount varies but be aware that the marijuana should float about 1.5 inches above the bottom of the pan. Once the water has begun to boil, place the butter in the pan and allow it to completely dissolve. The ratio for this is about 2 sticks of butter for every half ounce (14 grams) of weed. You can adjust that ratio as much as you need to.

 

When the butter has melted completely, you can add in the marijuana. Once you do this, remember to turn the heat down on the burner to low or simmer. Put the burner on the lowest possible setting for this part and let it cook for about three hours. Once the mix turns glossy and thick, you’ll know it’s done. But while the butter is cooking, you can set up a bowl that will hold the finished product. Using a heatproof Pyrex bowl is recommended but you can also use a plastic food container. Take two layers of cheesecloth and place them over the opening of the bowl, securing it with a rubber band or string.

 

After the marijuana mix has reached the glossy consistency, pour the mix over the cheesecloth in to the bowl. Be careful not to spill any and also, be sure that you have a pair of rubber gloves laying around as well. After you’ve poured the butter/weed mix in to the bowl, remove the cheesecloth and squeeze out the remaining mixture. Don’t want to waste any of the cannabis butter! Once the butter is in the dish and properly sealed, let it cool off for about an hour. Once the butter has cooled, use a knife to carefully pry the butter out, upside-down on a clean cooking board. Inspect the butter chunk to make sure that there’s no cooking water left on the bottom (if there is, you can scrape it off with the knife) and your butter is ready to be cooked with!

Chilly nights call for some delicious soup, am I right? Or maybe you’re having a dinner party and just need a “before the meal” snack. Whatever the case may be, this cream of cannabis soup will warm you up in more ways than one. Both physically and mentally! This is also a great recipe for those who aren’t so fortunate and get sick at this time of year. The common cold wrecks havoc on people’s work lives so this might help you to be a little more lively and not miss one of those busy weekend shifts at work (or a day at work, if you do the normal 9 to 5). The following recipe makes 6 cups of cream of cannabis soup and keep in mind that if you’re not sharing, you can always save the extra for later!

 

 

What You’ll Need;

 

2 tbsp butter (1 tbsp of canna butter, 1 of regular butter)

 

2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)

 

1/2 tsp salt

 

4 cups ready to serve chicken broth

 

2 large leeks

 

1/2 tsp pepper

 

1/2 cup whipping cream

 

1 pound asparagus

 

 

Grab the leeks first and trim the roots and leaves off of them, leaving only the white part and about 2 inches of the green. Rinse the leeks well with cold water and the split them lengthwise and slice crosswise (about 1/2 an inch thick). Sauté the leeks in the canna butter/butter for about ten minutes on low heat or until they’re soft. Stir in the potatoes, salt & pepper, and the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. While this mixture cooks, trim the asparagus tips off and set them aside for your garnish (if you choose to use a garnish, this isn’t necessary). Discard the woody ends of the asparagus and chop the remaining pieces up and add them to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat of the burner and simmer, uncovered, for about ten minutes or until all the vegetables are tender. Then move the soup to the work bowl of a food processor or a blender if you don’t have a processor and blend them until they are all pureed. Put the soup in to a clean sauce pan and stir in the cream. Mix thoroughly. 

 

 

If you choose to have the asparagus tips as a garnish, put the tips in salted boiling water in a small sauce pan. Cook these for about four minutes or until they are tender. Drain them well and garnish each serving with the tips. Your soup is done and enjoy!

 

There’s nothing that compares to a well made chicken pot pie. Except for maybe this recipe, which makes your traditional pie medicated. Enjoy a delicious combo of chicken, vegetables, and of course the crust (my favorite part) in this simple recipe. As always, you can choose to share or keep it all to yourself. Either way, this recipe is perfect for a chilly fall or winter night and will leave you full and medicated!

 

 

What You’ll Need;

 

1/2 cup sliced celery

 

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken

 

1/3 cup cannabutter

 

1 cup frozen green peas

 

1/3 cup all purpose flour

 

1/3 cup chopped onions

 

1/4 tsp black pepper

 

1/2 tsp salt

 

1 3/4 cup chicken broth

 

2 unbaked pie crusts

 

2/3 cup milk

 

1/4 tsp celery seed

 

 

Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F. Grab a saucepan and combine the carrots, peas, chicken, and celery. Add in some water and let boil for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, drain away the water, and set the mix aside. In another saucepan, cook the onions in the canna butter until they’re soft and somewhat translucent. Add in the flour, salt, celery seed, and pepper. Then, slowly add in the chicken broth and the milk. Simmer the mixture over medium low heat or until it is thick. Once it reaches that point, remove from the heat and set aside.

 

 

Place the chicken mixture in the bottom pie crust and pour the hot liquid over it. Cover the mix with the top crust, seal the edges, and cut away the excess dough. Be sure that you cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape so your pie doesn’t explode in the oven. Now, toss the pie (not actually toss, you get the idea) in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is a golden brown color and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Celebrating a birthday soon? Anniversary? Need an excuse to make a dank cake that will get you stoned and full? Then this purple kush cake recipe is something that you need to get your hands on. This cake not only tastes amazing but is super easy to make and it is sure to be a favorite among your friends. Also, since Halloween is almost here, you can use different colored frosting to make it a Halloween themed cake as well. Or you can add in some festive sprinkles as well! This recipe is really easy and perfect for novice weed cooks so you don’t need to know a ton about cooking with cannabis to make this cake!

 

 

What You’ll Need;

 

1 16oz tub of Betty Crocker vanilla frosting

 

3/4 cup THC oil

 

1 18.25oz Betty Crocker Super Moist dark chocolate mix

 

2 cups cold milk

 

3 eggs

 

 

Like I said above, this recipe is super easy! Start by simply preheating your over to 400 degrees F. Take the box of cake mix and follow the directions on the back but sub in the THC oil in place of the cooking oil that the recipe calls for. Mix the cake with the eggs, water, and oil. Pour the cake mix in to two evenly sized pans and bake them for 30 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in the cake, pull it out, and not have any cake come out on the toothpick. Once the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. 

 

 

Take your frosting (if you want to color the frosting, just add a few drops of food coloring… If you’re doing the festive version of the frosting, separate it in to two separate bowls and add the appropriate food coloring for whatever colors you pick!) and mix it up until it’s smooth. Coat the first cake on the top and then place the other half of the cake on top. Cover the entire thing with frosting. You can add sprinkles too! They sell some pretty festive ones at the grocery store, sometimes even shaped like little ghosts and black cats! Happy cake eating!

Even though Halloween is the next holiday coming up, we must prepare for the ones after, of course. Plus, places like Walmart have already started selling Christmas decorations. So us stoners are going to start preparing for Thanksgiving, a favorite of stoners since the whole point is to eat. The munchies are total bother for stoners but with this super easy way to make your turkey this year, you’ll solve the issue of getting stoned and the munchies in the same meal. 

 

 

What You’ll Need;

 

1 tsp thyme leaves

 

1 tbsp lemon juice

 

1 tsp sweet basil

 

1 tsp poultry seasoning 

 

1 medium sized turkey

 

1/4 cup chicken broth

 

1/2 cup marijuana butter

 

1/2 tsp sage

 

 

Start by melting the cannabis butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it is melted and then mix in the remaining ingredients. While the contents of the saucepan are simmering, season the turkey with salt and pepper if you wish. Then, make a small incision in the turkey and force a finger between the slit, separating the skin from the meat. Using a meat injector, squirt about half of the butter mix under the skin of the turkey. 

 

 

Put the turkey in the oven and cook it the way you like it (everyone likes their turkey differently, you may have a family secret for cooking the bird). Use the remaining butter mix to bast the turkey while it cooks, basting it about every half an hour. Once the timer runs out on the turkey, pull the bird out and let it cool a bit. Then you’re ready to enjoy! Pair the bird with your favorite medicated side dishes, such as medicated mashed potatoes, ultimate fried green beans, and THC infused cranberry sauce!
