You can use canna-butter instead of canna-ghee for this recipe, but it will no longer qualify as Keto. You could also dunk these in cannabis-infused ghee or butter before rolling them in the cinnamon mixture IF you have the tolerance for that level of potency.
 
2 large eggs, room temperature
¼ teaspoon unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons cannabis-infused ghee, melted, divided
3/4 cup Swerve sweetener, divided
1 cup super-fine almond flour
½ tablespoon coconut flour
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
greased mini muffin pan
baking rack
 
Preheat oven to 350 F.
 
Whisk together eggs, almond milk, apple cide vinegar, melted ghee, vanilla and ¼ cup Swerve in large bowl.
 
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
 
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in large bowl and stir to combine.
 
Spoon batter evenly into muffin tin.
 
Bake for 12-14 minutes until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
 
While they’re in the oven, melt 2 tablespoons ghee. Stir together ½ cup Swerve and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
 
Remove from pan and transfer to baking rack to cool.
 
When they’re cool enough to handle, dunk each cake into melted ghee, then roll in cinnamon.
 

Dutch Babies are kind of a cross between a crepe and a popover, and they’re absolutely delicious. They’re usually made with flour and served with lemon or fruit preserves and powdered sugar—so not exactly the healthiest choice as I do my best to avoid carbs and sugar.
 
The good news is, there’s a Keto-friendly option! This Canna-Keto Margherita Dutch Baby calls for marinara and fresh mozzarella on a fluffy bed made from eggs, almond flour and Parmesan. You can make your own marinara from the tomatoes in your garden, or if you’re in a hurry, Rao’s jarred marinara is pretty damn good.
 
This is amazing right out of the pan, and it keeps really well in the refrigerator for snacking.

​Serves 2

10-12 (about 2 pounds) or 1 28-ounce can of peeled whole tomatoes
¼ cup water
¼ cup cannabis-infused extra-virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thinly
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2-3 stems fresh oregano
4 large eggs, yolks separated from whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon duck fat (you can sub butter)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
⅓ cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
 
Heat olive oil over medium heat in nonstick skillet. Stir in garlic slices until they turn golden.

Add tomatoes and water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Add oregano. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes.
 
 Meanwhile, combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium-size bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Preheat the broiler to high.

Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with duck fat or butter and place over medium heat.

Gently fold egg yolks, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning into the egg whites.

Pour mixture into the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute.

Broil for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

Top with the tomato sauce and mozzarella slices. (You'll probably end up with extra sauce for later.)

Broil for about 5 minutes more, until the cheese is melted.

Top with fresh basil.

1 cup vegetable stock
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons cannabis-infused extra-virgin olive oil
¾ cup parsley
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon salt
Fine mesh sieve or coffee filter and colander
 
Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.
 
To serve, pour into small cups and garnish as desired.

¼ to 1/2 ounce dried and cured cannabis
Distilled water
¼ pound butter or 8 ounces oil, room temperature
French press
Baking sheet
Paper towels
​Parchment paper
Crockpot with settings below 180 degrees Fahrenheit
Wide-mouth Mason jar
Narrow wooden spoon
Fine mesh strainer
Cheesecloth
Medium-size mixing bowl
Ice cube trays (optional)
Freezer bag (optional)
Sharpie and labels
 
Preheat oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
Place cannabis in French press and cover with distilled water. After 12 hours, press cannabis and empty water. Repeat for 24-48 hours until water runs clear.
 
Drain water from cannabis, squeeze out excess water, and chop cannabis coarsely. Line baking sheet with two paper towels and place cannabis in a single layer to dry for about 2 hours.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out cannabis in single layer. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove and let cool.
 
Fill crockpot three-quarters full with water and set on low heat.
 
Combine cannabis with oil or butter in Mason jar and screw on lid. Stir gently until cannabis is well-integrated.
 
Place jars in crockpot, place lid on crockpot and let simmer on low in the water bath for about 4-8 hours.
 
Remove jar from crockpot and let cool slightly.
 
Place cheesecloth inside fine mesh strainer and place strainer over bowl.
 
Carefully pour the butter or oil through the strainer, scraping out as much as you can from the jar.
 
Once all the liquid is in the bowl, wrap the cheesecloth around the cannabis solids and squeeze out every last drop of oil. Tie the cheesecloth around the solids and compost.
 
Once butter or oil is cooled but not starting to solidify, pour into airtight, labeled containers and store in the refrigerator for up to two months or the freezer for up to six months. If you’re freezing the infusion, you can pour it into ice cube trays and place inside a labeled gallon-size freezer bag so you can pop out single servings as you need them.

​Served on greens, this is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and it’s easy to make. You can save time by making it with a roasted chicken from the market, and you can throw in grapes instead of dried cranberries (or skip both altogether) and walnuts instead of pecans. This is best when it can be refrigerated overnight.
 
Serves 4 - 6
 
4 cups chicken, boiled and cut or shredded into bite-size pieces
3 cups celery, diced
1 4-ounce jar whole mushrooms
½ cup pecan pieces, toasted
4 slices bacon, crumbled
¼ - ½ cup dried cherries (or cranberries)
1 cup Cannabis Coconut Mayo (recipe follows)
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
 
Combine chicken, celery, mushrooms, pecans, bacon, and cranberries or cherries in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, blend mayonnaise, sour cream, salt and lemon juice. Fold into chicken mixture and stir until well combined.
 
Chill thoroughly, preferably overnight, before serving.
 
Cannabis Coconut Mayo
 
Having all ingredients at room temperature is the key to successful emulsions, including this one, so get all the ingredients to room temp before you make this. Once made, it can be stored in the fridge for a week or until the expiration date of the egg you make it with. I’ve never had it around long enough to know anything about freezing it, but I’m sure you could.
 
Makes about 1-/2 cup
 
1 egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice, room temperature
1-1/2 cups cannabis-infused coconut oil (recipe follows), melted to liquid
Salt to taste
Blender
 
Blend eggs, mustard, lemon juice and vinegar at medium speed until smooth.
 
Turn blender to low speed. Pour oil in a fine stream into blender and blend on low until mayonnaise thickens. If it’s too runny, add oil. If too firm, add water.
 
Add salt to taste and blend on low one last time.
 
Store in labeled container in refrigerator for one week or until egg’s expiration date.
 
 
Cannabis Coconut Oil
 
¼ to 1/2 ounce dried and cured cannabis
¼ cup coconut oil, room temperature
Crockpot with settings below 180 degrees Fahrenheit
Wide-mouth Mason jar
Narrow wooden spoon
Fine mesh strainer
Cheesecloth
Medium-size mixing bowl
 
Place cannabis in coffee grinder and grind until it’s almost a fine powder. You can use a mortar and pestle if you don’t have a coffee grinder. Set aside.
 
Fill crockpot half to three-quarters full with water and set on low heat.
 
Place oil into Mason jar. Place jar in water in crockpot to melt it.
 
Once the oil has liquefied, scrape out all cannabis from grinder and combine with oil in Mason jar using a wooden spoon. Stir gently until cannabis is well-integrated.
 
Place jar in crockpot, place lid on crockpot and let simmer on low for about 8 hours.
 
Remove jar from crockpot and let cool slightly.
 
Place cheesecloth inside fine mesh strainer and place strainer over bowl.
 
Carefully pour the butter or oil through the strainer, scraping out as much as you can from the jar.
 
Once all the liquid is in the bowl, wrap the cheesecloth around the cannabis solids and squeeze out every last drop of oil. Tie the cheesecloth around the solids and compost.
 
Once oil is cooled but not starting to solidify, pour into airtight, labeled containers and store in the refrigerator for up to two months or the freezer for up to six months.

​​Stillwater Ripple, water-soluble cannabinoids that dissolve in liquid, make mocktails a breeze.

1 cup fresh cranberries (extra for garnish)
6 tablespoons sugar
4 10-milligram packets Ripple (or other water-soluble powder)
4½ cups fresh apple cider
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups chilled ginger beer

Add apple cider, ginger beer, lemon juice, and Ripple. Mix very well.
 
Serve over ice. Garnish with a few cranberries.

This is a great way to use fan leaves if you grow. Skip them and use a little more spinach if you don’t. To make this vegetarian, used cannabis-infused vegetable broth instead of bone broth.
 
White vinegar
1-pound sugar or pie pumpkin
6 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 to 5 cups cannabis-infused bone broth (recipe follows)
½ teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped
1 onion, diced
4 fresh cannabis fan leaves, cut into strips (more for garnish)
½ cup spinach, cut into strips
6 ounces feta cheese, cubed
2 cups Arborio rice
Steamer
 
Preheat oven to 400 F.
 
Wash fan leaves in equal parts water and vinegar, then rinse with clear water.
 
Quarter pumpkin and place in steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, cover and cook until tender but firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Peel pumpkin and cut into small cubes. You should have about 4 cups.
 
Place pumpkin in baking dish, drizzle with 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss with your hands until all pieces are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Start checking after 10 minutes.)
 
While pumpkin bakes, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan. Cook onion and garlic over low to medium heat until translucent and tender. Stir in rice and continue stirring over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Slowly add bone broth a half cup at a time as liquid absorbs, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until rice is tender. This will take 20 minutes or more. If rice gets too dry, stir in more vegetable broth. Salt and pepper to taste.
 
When pumpkin is almost done, place feta on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until it just starts to melt, about 4 to 5 minutes.
 
Mash half of the pumpkin with a fork or potato masher. Stir into risotto along with fan leaves and spinach.
 
Serve immediately in bowls topped with remaining pumpkin cubes and feta.
