420

Happy Friday y'all! And what a beautiful day it was again! So I will get straight to it. I have a friend who struggles with insomina and doesn't want to resort to taking pills. So instead she has trusted in the all natural ganja, weed, pot, mary jane, dank, chicken, kush, bud, sticky icky.... ok you get the point, to help her catch some z's. Guess what? It works!!!!! She is not a fan of actually smoking, so she has asked me if I could try and make some  goodies. There is a lot to know about cooking with Cannabis and I have just barely began to scratch the surface. I like where this is going because its like a double whammy. I get to cook, people will enjoy my food and it will also help them medically with out having to take nasty chemical ridden pills. I was fortunate enough to find some cannibas butter from another friend, so I did it, I baked! Now I am more of a cook. I Studied pastries and worked the dessert station at the Park for a bit, but I do not have the patience to bake, but I baked. What I baked, will make you baked!!!! 1/2 of one of these mini muffins will do the trick and you will sleep like a baby. Now eating cannabis takes a lot longer (like 3 hours) but it will do its's job.

Lemon Poppy Seed Mini Muffins with Lemon Glaze

Ingredients:

10 tablespoons Cannabis Butter  or oil
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12 count muffin pan.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds and salt and set dry mixture aside.

In a large bowl, cream the cannabis butter or oil and sugar together. Beat in the lemon juice and eggs, adding one egg at a time. Beating for a total of about 1-2 minutes. Once lemon juice and eggs are added, alternate beating in part of the yogurt and part of the dry mixture until completely added and well combined.

Divide muffin dough evenly into the muffin pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing the muffins. Place muffins on wire rack to cool completely.

*So on a quick not about my students, the real stoners were not in class today the wanna be stoners talked about  420 and wore rasta, and of course asked me numerous times of I was stoned and or a stoner! As my day job ended and I headed to the beach to Peloton, I was reminded how lucky I was to live in such a beautiful place. Avila was packed and the tasting room was hopping! As I sit here at 10:50 all I can think of is... I am hungry and I need to sleep because it all starts over again tomorrow!!!!! Good night and Happy Holidays!
