A festive 3-course menu for stoners

‘Tis the time of year to get high. If you’re looking for ideas for a three-course meal this holiday season, check out our guide to cannabis Christmas cooking! We’re going to present some of the most popular dishes of the season, but with an added twist on how to make them suitable for Canna Christmas.

The starter: pigs in a blanket

This popular dish with the adorable name is a popular Christmas dinner. It’s unclear how exactly it came to dominate so many Christmas festivities, but as a finger food it’s a great starter.

The key to making your pigs in a certified ceiling corer is cannabutter and canna meal in the making of the pastry. We previously created a guide on how to make cannabutter and canna meal. Keep this guide handy during your Christmas cannabis boil as you will be using it multiple times.

A great recipe for pork in a blanket can be found here, but you can replace a cup of flour with canna flour for an extra dose of pizzazz.

The main course: Roast turkey with a side of mac and cheese

the urkey has enjoyed increasing popularity in the last months of the year. There are interesting theories as to why that is. Turkey was first brought to Britain from America in the 16th century. Turkey offers farmers more livestock options during the harsh autumn and winter months. They could now use turkey for meat while saving their cows and chickens for milk and egg production. In addition, some sources cite King Henry VIII to further popularize the Truthahnessen traditions at Christmas.

How do you make cannabis a traditional turkey recipe? The answer is to rub your bird in kief.

Check out our recipe for a delicious kief dry rub mix here.

Alternatively, you can combine your turkey with cannabis sauce. This recipe also calls for cannabutter, and we recommend making a good amount of it the first time you prepare it as it is widely used in various recipes.

As a side dish, we now recommend a hearty old spoonful of mac and cheese, except our version uses cannabutter in the sauce and comes with a healthy pinch of poured maple bacon. If that sounds sinful and baseless, it’s because it’s meant to be.

Here’s the recipe for our stoner-favorite mac and cheese, as well as instructions for making infused maple syrup.

Make sure you don’t skip the greens. You can prepare an infused maple balsamic vinaigrette as a salad dressing or even as a marinade for fried vegetables.

The dessert: eggnog cheesecake

What would Christmas be without eggnog? But instead of just drinking it, why not put it in a cheesecake to increase the gluttony to 11?

Since its introduction to the American colonies in the 18th

To bring this delicious taste to a cheesecake, the filling has to be inspired by eggnog, which means that rum and vanilla extract are added in addition to the store-bought eggnog. Our version of an eggnog cheesecake uses cannabutter for the crust, but you can also increase the potency of this dish by making your own cannabis eggnog from kief.

Here’s how to make an eggnog cheesecake, or, if you want to go the extra mile, cannabis eggnog.

Tips for Christmas cooking with cannabis

As with any ingredient, the key to using cannabis in the hospitality industry is not to overdo it. We’ve included tips to make every dish cannabis-friendly, but that doesn’t mean you should go all out for everyone. If you want to experiment with every dish, you should generally lower the dosage. Also, always remember to decarb or decarboxylate your weed before using it in your recipes. An easy way to do this is by making cannabutter, but in cases where you’re only using ground flowers or kief, our decarbing guide can be reached here.

Ultimately, it’s about experimenting with recipes, satisfying the cravings, and having fun.

Now is the time to cook!
