Whether consumed fresh or ground, turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate everything from sore muscles to mental fog and nasal congestion. \n\nAccording to the Mayo Clinic, ongoing lab and animal research suggests that [turmeric may help prevent or treat cancer](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/expert-answers/curcumin/faq-20057858), though clinical trials involving humans are still in the beginning phases. In particular, curcumin is the healing compound found in turmeric that’s responsible for its finger-staining yellow color and medicinal properties. \n\nIn a less scientific study, I’ve heard my favorite yoga teacher recommend golden paste—a combination of turmeric, coconut oil and other spices—so many times you’d suspect he sells it door to door. But in addition to fueling my superhuman yoga teacher, many Americans have personally found a significant improvement in their wellness from a daily dose of turmeric. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Turmeric Best Ingested With Fat & Black Pepper \n\nWhile taking a turmeric supplement is an option, ingesting turmeric with fat and black pepper increases its absorption. So instead, golden paste is a great DIY infusion to keep on hand.

If you’ve got a fridge full of Easter eggs, but don’t know what to do with them, use your leftovers to make deviled eggs. Better yet, you can medicate your deviled eggs with cannabis. The marijuana is easy to incorporate following a simple cannabis-infused mayonnaise recipe. You may just find it refreshing to medicate with a cannabis edible that’s savory, well balanced and healthy to boot. \r\n\r\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\r\n\r\nWhy choose a whole food cannabis edible? For starters, you guarantee that some whole nutrients go down the hatch along with your medicine. Making sure something solid is in your stomach is timeless advice that absolutely applies to consuming marijuana.\r\n\r\nSecond, by making your own cannabis edibles at home instead of pre-made ones, you have complete control over potency and quality—and even more so if you make your own cannabis-infused oil. \r\n\r\nRELATED: [HOW TO MAKE MARIJUANA INFUSED COOKING OIL](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b3979094aec0000c000043/how-to-make-marijuana-infused-cooking-oil-recipe)\r\n\r\nThis particular recipe is brimming with healthful ingredients:\r\n\r\n* Eggs have 7 gm of protein each, providing an extremely [affordable source of dietary protein](https://stronglifts.com/build-muscle-on-a-budget-the-10-cheapest-sources-of-protein/). \r\n* Apple cider vinegar has been shown to help control blood sugar, lower cholesterol and help with acid reflux. \r\n* Capers are full of antioxidants, calcium and iron.\r\n* Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, vitamin B6 and vitamin E. \r\n\r\nHomemade mayonnaise packs twice the flavor as a store-bought version. A great versatile ingredient, cannabis-infused mayo gives you the options to microdose in a multitude of savory dishes. Keep a clearly labeled jar of marijuana-infused mayo in the fridge so you can medicate anytime you want.\r\n\r\n### Ingredients for Cannabis-Infused Mayonnaise\r\n\r\n* 1 large egg yolk (for best results, at room temperature)\r\n* 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard\r\n* 1/2 cup olive oil\r\n* 1/4 cup cannabis-infused oil \r\n* 1 tsp apple cider vinegar\r\n* 1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice\r\n* 1/4 tsp white pepper\r\n* 1/4 tsp salt\r\n\r\n### How to Make Cannabis-Infused Mayonnaise\r\n\r\n1.\tIn a food processor, pulse yolk, mustard and salt together until well combined. \r\n2.\tWith the machine on, slowly pour olive oil through the opening on top, until mixture begins to thicken. Pause to scrape the sides of the bowl. \r\n3.\tUsing same method, slowly add cannabis-infused oil. \r\n4.\tAdd apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, pulsing after each addition. The oils should be fully incorporated, and the mayo should have a light, whipped consistency. \r\n5.\tAdd white pepper and additional salt to taste. \r\n6.\tCover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. \r\n\r\n### Ingredients for Cannabis-Infused Deviled Eggs\r\n\r\n* 6 hardboiled eggs\r\n* 3 tbsp cannabis-infused mayo\r\n* 1 tsp Dijon mustard \r\n* 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish\r\n* 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar \r\n* 1 tbsp capers \r\n* 1/4 tsp paprika\r\n* pinch of sea salt (to taste)\r\n\r\n### How to Make Cannabis-Infused Deviled Eggs \r\n\r\n1.\tPeel all six eggs and slice in half lengthwise. \r\n2.\tCarefully scoop yolks into a mixing bowl, setting the halves on a serving plate. \r\n3.\tAdd cannabis-infused mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar to yolks. Smash with the back of a spoon until you’ve made a smooth paste. Add sweet pickle relish and sea salt to taste; mix well. \r\n4.\tIf you’re feeling fancy, scoop the yolk mixture into a Ziploc baggie. Snip the corner off the baggie and pipe yolk mixture into each egg half. Though this doesn’t require any expert culinary skill or special tools, it can be tedious and a little messy. For your best chance at success, use a sturdy Ziploc (not a “snack bag”) and work slowly. \r\n5.\tFor deviled eggs that are just as delicious and less fussy, skip piping and carefully spoon about two teaspoons of yolk mixture into each egg white half. \r\n6.\tTop each deviled egg with a few capers and sprinkle lightly with paprika.\r\n\r\nPhoto credit: [Jeffreyw](https://www.flickr.com/people/jeffreyww/)\r\n\r\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

There are [kosher certifications for medical marijuana in New York](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/07/business/kosher-medical-marijuana-heads-to-market.html) and one Oregon couple even wrote a [marijuana-friendly Haggadah to be used during their cannabis Seder](http://orjewishlife.com/cannabis-conversations-what-does-judaism-say-about-oregons-new-legal-drug/).  \r\n\r\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\r\n\r\n### Is Cannabis Kosher for Passover?\r\n\r\nThere’s no definitive answer on whether cannabis is kosher for Passover. Some argue cannabis can be seen as the “bitter herb” included on Seder plates, while other Jewish communities insist that the plant is part of a group of non-kosher grains and legumes. \r\n\r\nIn 2013, Orthodox rabbi Efraim Zalmanovich ruled that [marijuana is indeed kosher for Passover if used for medical purposes](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/marijuana-is-kosher-for-passover-leading-rabbi-rules-a6995761.html). The plant, however, isn’t considered kosher if consumed recreationally. \r\n\r\nThat said, there really is no consensus on whether cannabis is kosher for Passover. For those considering a cannabis-infused Passover Seder, it may be worthwhile to discuss it with your rabbi and/or community. If you do decide cannabis is a kosher addition to your Passover celebration, here’s a medicated take on charoset, the paste made from fruit and nuts that’s traditionally eaten at the Passover Seder. \r\n\r\nRELATED: [DIY RECIPE: QUICK & EASY CANNABIS STRAIN-SPECIFIC TINCTURE](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a621ef38425e40008273a30/diy-recipe-quick-and-easy-cannabis-strain-specific-tincture)\r\n\r\n### Ingredients for Marijuana-Infused Charoset\r\n\r\n* 6 red apples, cored and chopped\r\n\r\n* 2 lemons\r\n\r\n* 2 cups walnuts\r\n\r\n* 1 1/2 tsp honey\r\n\r\n* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon\r\n\r\n* 1/2 tsp kosher salt\r\n\r\n* 1/3 cup kosher sweet red wine \r\n\r\n* 1–2 mL [cannabis tincture](https://www.hellomd.com/products) (Note: You can use a high-CBD tincture if you want to avoid psychoactive effects.)\r\n\r\n* Matzo for serving\r\n\r\n### How to Make Marijuana-Infused Charoset \r\n\r\n1.\tPeel and core the apples, then chop them into quarters. Place the apple chunks into a food processor and pulse until they’re coarsely chopped. Then move the apples from the food processor to a large mixing bowl. Add the walnuts to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Once finished, remove the walnuts and add to the mixing bowl with the apples. \r\n\r\n2.\tIf you want to offer infused and non-infused charoset options, now’s the time to divide the apple base into two. Be sure to label the bowl that will be infused so you don’t get them confused.\r\n\r\n3.\tAdd the sugar, honey, cinnamon and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and then stir in the kosher red wine.

While luckily enough, I’ve been (publicly) spared a [Maureen Dowd edible moment](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2014/06/09/why-eating-a-marijuana-candy-bar-sent-maureen-dowd-to-paranoia-hell/#5df6a53fe80d), I take tetrahydrocannabinol(THC)- infused cuisine seriously. When I started experimenting with cannabis in the kitchen, I couldn’t understand how such a healing and versatile ingredient had been misused again and again. How did coma-inducing, high-sugar brownies reign as the king of edibles for so long? \n\nIf brownies, cookies and gummies aren’t exactly your idea of healthy eating, don’t worry, many other choices exist—like this vegan cannabis-infused pumpkin seed pesto. Besides the marijuana, it’s loaded with other healthy ingredients like pumpkin seeds, garlic, lemon juice and herbs. \n\nBecause THC is fat soluble, as long as cannabis is infused into [butter](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b27915fe98a1000c000243/cannabis-infused-butter-recipe-make-your-own) or [oil](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b3979094aec0000c000043/how-to-make-marijuana-infused-cooking-oil-recipe), the medicinal culinary options are limitless. By using products that are lab-tested and have THC doses properly labeled, and adjusting the use of the cannabis product based on your personal experience, the marijuana-infused cuisine of today should be an exploratory, positive and delicious experience. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Determining Serving Size & Potency\n\nFor this recipe, I used the infused olive oil from Om Edibles. Since the Om Edibles oil has 15 mg of THC in every teaspoon, this entire recipe contains exactly 60 mg of THC. So, if divided by 12, each serving of this pumpkin seed pesto will have exactly 5 mg of THC. \nEverybody’s different, but many consumers have found that 5 mg is a relatively safe dose for exploring culinary cannabis and definitely a good place to start. I recommend trying half a teaspoon of the pesto on a cracker and waiting 1–2 hours before deciding to serve. As always, label cannabis-infused edibles clearly and enjoy. \n\nRELATED: [MICRODOSING A BETTER WAY TO TAKE CANNABIS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59c1b07e93afe720b53117a1/microdosing-a-better-way-to-take-cannabis)\n\n### Cannabis-Infused Pumpkin Seed Pesto for Pasta, Salad Dressing & Pizza \n\nItalian-style pesto sauce is a classic cannabis-infused dish you won’t see at your dispensary. Packed with verdant flavors, pesto perfectly complements (or even masks) the herbaceous addition of cannabis. The toasted pumpkin seeds, the replacement for the missing Parmesan cheese, delivers a debatably more memorable performance. The addition of nutritional yeast boosts the heartiness and balances the green flavors of basil, parsley and cannabis.\n\n**Ingredients**\n\n*  1 bunch basil, stems discarded\n*  1/2 bunch parsley, stems discarded \n*  3 1/3 oz extra virgin olive oil\n* 4 tsp Om Edibles cannabis-infused extra virgin olive oil, or [make your own cannabis cooking oil](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b3979094aec0000c000043/how-to-make-marijuana-infused-cooking-oil-recipe)\n* 1 tbsp lemon juice\n* 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, green and unsalted\n* 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped \n* 2 tbsp nutritional yeast \n* 1/2 tsp salt\n\n**How To**\n\nHeat a sauté pan with medium heat. \n\nSpread raw pumpkin seeds across the pan and roast for 7–9 minutes. Pay close attention: The seeds should only brown slightly. When you hear seeds popping, remove from heat and allow to cool.\n\nCombine basil, parsley, olive oil, cannabis olive oil, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, garlic, nutritional yeast and salt into the bowl of your food processor. Process until well blended.\n\nServes 12. \n\nPhoto credit: [Caroline Attwood](https://unsplash.com/@carolineattwood)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

They’re a wonderful party appetizer or weeknight dinner, packed with flavor from dried fruit, toasted nuts and herbs. They can easily be enjoyed plain, but you can whip together the cannabis-infused yogurt for an optional medicinal dipping sauce. \r\n\r\n### Cannabis-Infused Yogurt Sauce \r\n\r\nThe richness of the whole yogurt and warm spices balance the brightness of the lemon juice and raw garlic. The sauce pairs perfectly with the savory meatballs. \r\n\r\nIf you’re concerned about proper cannabis dosage, try using a store-bought, cannabis-infused olive oil such as one of our favorites, [Om Edibles Medicated Olive Oil](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58accbef5dc77b0007e75241/medicated-extra-virgin-olive-oil.%20Each%20tsp%20contains%20a%20lab-tested%2015%20mg%20dose%20of%20tetrahydrocannabinol%20(THC).

She credits her friend Doron for the original recipe, _Turkey Meatballs With Pine Nuts & Golden Raisins_, which has been widely shared among her fans. \r\n\r\nI prefer making the meatballs with ground lamb, which I find at my local co-op. If lamb intimidates you, substitute ground turkey or beef; they’re milder tasting alternatives. I also substitute toasted walnuts for pine nuts (much thriftier), as I find the chopped walnuts stay properly enmeshed in the meatballs. Feel free to experiment using this recipe as a rough formula, and make them your own.\r\n\r\n**Ingredients**\r\n\r\n* 1 lb ground lamb\r\n* 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped\r\n* 1 egg, beaten\r\n* 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped \r\n* 1/2 cup golden raisins, sliced in half or coarsely chopped\r\n* 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro\r\n* 1/2 cup breadcrumbs\r\n* 1/4 tsp cumin\r\n* 1/2 tsp salt\r\n* A few grinds fresh black pepper \r\n\r\n**How To**\r\n\r\nMix all ingredients together in a large bowl, preferably using your hands so that you can incorporate ingredients into the meat. \r\n\r\nForm the lamb mixture into balls that are about 1 1/2 inch wide. \r\n\r\nHeat a few tablespoons of cooking oil (coconut oil recommended) into a heavy skillet over medium heat. \r\n\r\nAdd about half the meatballs, cooking in batches so as not to crowd them. \r\n\r\nAs the meatballs begin to brown, turn them regularly, until golden on all sides. Picking up the skillet and rolling them around is a good strategy, but metal tongs work even better. \r\n\r\nThe meatballs are cooked through when each is evenly browned and holding a firm shape—try cutting one in half to test (no pink meat should remain). \r\n\r\nPlace on a paper towel-lined plate to catch excess oil. \r\n\r\nServe immediately or allow to cool and enjoy with the Lemon-Herb Yogurt Sauce. \r\n\r\nPhoto credit: [Maggie Hoffman](https://www.flickr.com/photos/maggiejane/)\r\n\r\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Cool before tossing with grated Parmesan, garlic, soppressata, salt, pepper and medicated olive oil in a mixing bowl. \r\n\r\nCut off artichoke stems and discard, along with top inch of artichoke. (A serrated knife works best.) Using kitchen shears, snip half an inch off remaining leaf tips. Rub trimmed artichoke top and leaves with a lemon wedge. \r\n\r\nResting each artichoke on its base, separate the leaves with your thumbs and gently pull out purple leaves from center—move carefully as even small leaves can be thorny.  \r\n\r\nContinue plucking the purplish, then yellow, interior leaves from center, until the fuzzy part is exposed at the artichoke’s heart. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out fuzzy choke. Squeeze a lemon wedge into the cavity.\r\n\r\nSpoon about 2 tablespoons of stuffing into each artichoke. Next, holding an artichoke over the bowl of stuffing with one hand, carefully pack the artichoke leaves with stuffing, using your fingers to gently press the mixture into the pockets of the artichoke leaves.\r\n\r\nCombine half a cup of white wine, a pinch of salt and few grinds black pepper into a medium-sized pot. Add artichokes, packing them snugly next to one another, leaves facing up. Add half a cup of water, adding more as needed until liquid reaches halfway up artichokes. Drizzle with additional olive oil, using canna-olive oil if desired. \r\n\r\nCovering pot tightly, bring to boil, and simmer on low until leaves are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove artichokes with tongs and serve artichokes warm. Eating slowly, work your way from the thorny leaves to the soft heart. \r\n\r\nPhoto credit: [Danielle MacInnes](https://unsplash.com/@dsmacinnes)\r\n\r\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our Cannabis 101 guide.

And we all know every Super Bowl party needs a great spread of food. Whether you’re hosting your own party or attending someone else’s, we’ve got a few recipes for Super Bowl staples that each come with a cannabis twist. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nEvery recipe is dosed with different types of marijuana tinctures. As you’ll see, the recipes call for 1–2 full droppers of tincture. This suggested dose is equivalent to about 10–20 mg of cannabis total, which equates to a nice microdose per serving. This dose will allow most people to consume a normal portion of a dish without getting uncomfortably high—though 20 mg may still be on the high end for some, so adjust accordingly based on what you can tolerate and who you’ve invited.\n\nIf you’re an experienced cannabis consumer, feel free to up your tincture dose. As always, label all infused dishes clearly so that none of your guests will confuse it with a non-dosed version. If you have more than one cannabis-infused dish, it’s a good idea to remind guests that the more servings consumed, the higher the dose ingested. Also, let your guests know that consuming alcohol along with cannabis tends to amplify the plant’s effects.\n\nRELATED: [COOKING WITH CANNABIS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56f9cbe5eb647f000800007f/cooking-with-cannabis)\n\n### Cannabis-Infused Chicken Wings\n\n**Ingredients**\n\n* 10 chicken wings, separated at the joints (20 wings after separating)\n* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour\n* 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper\n* 1/2 tsp salt \n* 1/2 tsp garlic powder\n* 1/2 cup hot sauce of your choice\n* 1–2 full droppers of Balance Therapy Drops from The Farmaceuticals Co.\n* 1/2 cup melted butter\n\n**How To** \n\nLine a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick spray. In a gallon-sized sealable bag, add all of the dry ingredients. Seal and shake the bag until all dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed, then add the chicken wings. \n\nLet the chicken sit in the refrigerator for at least one to two hours. When you’re ready to finish cooking the wings, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, tincture and hot sauce together. Once combined, dip the wings in the liquid mixture and place each wing on the cookie sheet. \n\nBake the wings for about 45 minutes total, flipping half way through cooking time. When finished, the wings should be crispy on the outside and cooked all the way through. \n\n### Cannabis-Infused Ranch Dipping Sauce\n\n**Ingredients**\n\n* 1 cup light mayonnaise \n* 1/2 cup sour cream\n* 1/2 tsp dried chives\n* 1/2 tsp dried parsley\n* 1/2 tsp dried dill weed\n* 1/4 tsp garlic powder\n* 1/4 tsp onion salt \n* 1/4 tsp pepper\n* 1–2 full droppers of Emerald Alchemy’s 1:1 tincture\n\n**How To**\n\nThis recipe couldn’t be simpler: Put all of the ingredients in a bowl, mix it up and stash in the fridge to cool for 30–40 minutes before serving.\n\n### Marijuana-Infused Spinach Artichoke Dip\n\n**Ingredients**\n \n* 1 can (14.5 ounces) artichoke hearts \n* 6 oz fresh spinach leaves, coarsely chopped \n* 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup on the side for topping\n* 1 cup shredded asiago cheese\n* 3 cloves garlic, minced\n* 1/2 cup light mayonnaise\n* 1/2 tsp dried oregano\n* 1/2 tsp salt\n* 1/4 tsp pepper\n* 1–2 full droppers of Berry White High THC Tincture by Pianta Tinta \n\n**How To**\n\nThis is another unbelievably easy recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and then prep the dip. In a large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients together and use a silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together. Transfer the mixture to a larger baking dish and top with the extra mozzarella cheese. Bake for 35 minutes and serve hot with tortilla chips or crostini. Recipe serves 6–8. \n\n### Marijuana-Infused Sausage Meatballs\n\n**Ingredients**\n\n* 1 lb hot sausage meat, uncased and uncooked\n* 1 block cream cheese, softened\n* 2 cups Bisquick baking mix\n* 1 cup shredded cheese\n* 1–2 full droppers of organic olive oil 1:1 tincture from Fiddler’s Greens\n\n**How To**\n\nPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, add the sausage and cream cheese, and mix thoroughly. Use an electric mixer or a stand mixer for best results. Slowly add in the Bisquick mix and then the shredded cheese while the mixer is on. \n\nUse an ice cream scooper to measure each meatball and line them along the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill. (This will help the balls keep their round form.) Bake the sausage meatballs for about 25 minutes or until they’re firm and browned. Makes 64 meatballs. \n\nWe hope you enjoy these cannabis-friendly versions of America’s favorite Super Bowl party foods. Don’t forget to properly label all infused foods and educate your guests on dosing; if there are any children present, keep infused foods in a separate area out of reach. \n\nPhoto credit: [U.S. Department of Agriculture](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usdagov/)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Use a pastry cutter, kitchen shears or just a knife to cut the butter into the flour. Add salt and water, mix until the dough is formed. If using immediately, roll the dough flat on a lightly floured surface. If you’re making your pie later, wrap the dough tightly with plastic wrap and leave in fridge. Dough will last up to 24 hours chilled. \n\n\n### Classic Savory Option: Chicken Pot Pie \n\n** Ingredients **\n\n* Cannabis-infused pie crust dough\n* 2 cups peeled potatoes, diced\n* 1 3/4 cups sliced carrots\n* 1 cup butter, cubed (non-infused)\n* 2/3 cup onion, chopped\n* 1 cup all-purpose flour (gluten free works)\n* 1 3/4 tsp salt\n* 1 tsp dried thyme \n* 3/4 tsp fresh ground pepper\n* 3 cups chicken broth\n* 1 1/2 cups milk (non-sweetened nut milk works) \n* 4 cups cubed chicken, cooked\n* 1 cup frozen peas\n* 1 cup frozen corn\n* 1 egg white\n\n** How To **\n\nCut the pie crust dough into two pieces and roll them out between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper. Put one piece of rolled dough into a 9-inch pie pan with about 1/2 inch of dough overhang. Use your fingers to pinch the overhang around the edge of the pan and brush the dough with the egg white. Let the dough chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes. \n\nPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place potatoes and carrots into a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook covered for 8¬–10 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough to be pierced with a fork. Then drain completely. \n\nIn a large skillet, heat the butter on medium-high heat and add the onion. Cook until tender, stirring frequently. Add flour and seasonings until blended. Gradually, stir in the chicken broth and milk and bring to a boil. Stir constantly for 2 minutes or until thickened. Then, add the chicken, peas, corn, and potato and remove from heat. \n\nPour the mixture into the pie crust and cover with the second rolled-out piece of piecrust. Gingerly use a knife to create 3–4 vent holes at the top. Brush the top of the piecrust with the remaining egg white and cover with loose-fitting foil.\n\nBake the pie for 30–40 minutes on the middle rack, or until the crust is browned. Let the pie sit for 15 minutes before enjoying.\n\n\n### Vegetarian Savory Option: Chickpea Pot Pie\n\n** Ingredients **\n\n* Cannabis-infused pie crust dough\n* 1 tbs grapeseed oil\n* 1 medium onion, diced\n* 2 garlic cloves, minced\n* 3 celery stalks, chopped\n* 2 medium carrots, diced\n* 6 cups vegetable broth\n* 2 cups corn kernels\n* 15 oz can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained\n* 2 tbsp dried sage\n* 1 tbsp dried marjoram\n* 2 bay leaves\n* 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped \n* 2 tbsp cornstarch\n* 4 oz cream cheese\n* ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese\n* 2 cups green beans\n* 2 cups peas\n* 1 egg white\n\n\n** How To **\n\nCut the pie crust dough into two pieces and roll them out between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper. Put one piece of rolled dough into a 9-inch pie pan with about 1/2 inch of dough overhang. Use your fingers to pinch the overhang around the edge of the pan and brush the dough with the egg white. Let the dough chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes. \n\nPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook onion in grapeseed oil over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until browned. Mix in garlic, carrots, and celery and let cook for 5 minutes. Pour in 5 cups of vegetable broth, corn, chickpeas and all spices. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. \n\nIn another bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, flour and remaining cup of vegetable broth. Once combined, add this mixture plus the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese to the simmering vegetable mixture. Remove from heat and let cool.\n\nOnce cooled, add the green beans and peas (do not add sooner or these items will be overcooked) and pour mixture into the pie crust. Cover with remaining rolled pie crust and use a knife to gingerly cut 3¬–4 ventilation holes, brush the top piecrust with the remaining egg white, and cover the pie with loose fitting foil.\n\nBake the pie for 30–45 minutes on the middle rack, or until the crust is browned. Let the pie sit for 15 minutes before enjoying. \n\n\n### Dessert Option: Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie\n\n** Ingredients **\n\n* Cannabis-infused pie crust dough\n* 1 1/3 cup pecans, chopped\n* 4 oz bittersweet chocolate\n* 1 cup sugar\n* 3 large eggs\n* 3/4 cup dark corn syrup\n* 1 tsp vanilla extract \n* 1 egg white\n* 1/4 teaspoon salt\n\n** How To **\n\nRoll out chilled pie crust dough between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper. Put dough into a 9-inch pie pan with about 1/2 inch of dough overhang. Use your fingers to pinch the overhang around the edge of the pan and brush the dough with the egg white. Let dough chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes. \n\nFor the filling, toss the chopped pecans and chocolate into a small bowl. In a different bowl, whisk sugar and 3 eggs together, then mix in melted butter (non-infused), corn syrup, vanilla and salt.\n\nRemove the chilled pie crust from the freezer and add half the pecan and chocolate mixture as a bottom layer, then half of the liquid mixture on top.

Grease the cups of your muffin tin with normal butter or non-stick cooking spray.\n\nIn a large bowl, whisk together the butter or oil and maple syrup. Add the eggs and mix well.  Stir in the pumpkin pureé and milk, followed by the baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice or cloves.\n\nAdd the flour and oats to the bowl and mix until combined. Here’s where you can add your extras—nuts, chocolate or fruit—if you wish to do so.\n\nDivide the batter evenly between the 10 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with a small amount of cinnamon, sugar and oats.  \n\nBake muffins for 23 to 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.\nLet muffins cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from muffin tin.  \n\nAfter enjoying your first serving, be sure to wait one to two hours before having another muffin. As with all edibles, especially ones you’re trying for the first time, the best rule of thumb is to go low and slow. And if you’re sharing these delicious and healthy muffins with others, make sure they know the muffins are infused before they have a taste. \n\nPhoto credit: [Mink Mingle](https://unsplash.com/@minkmingle)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

If you aren’t familiar with cannabis tinctures, be sure to start low and go slow—a good rule of thumb is one drop per glass.

Pour the cocktail over a square of dry ice for the spooky smoke effect and add 6 to 8 “eyeballs” in each glass.\n\nSource: [Dixie Crystals](http://www.dixiecrystals.com/recipes/category/beverages-cocktails/Sparkling-Cranberry-Orange-Eyeball-Punch)\n\nWith these recipes, you’ll be the MVP of any Halloween party.

It’s that little bit of special attention to yourself makes a difference between a stressful week and one that flows with ease. Adding details like tealight candles, essential oils, calming music, and a fizzy bath bomb infused with cannabis can enhance the experience, turning a regular bath into a seriously rejuvenating ritual. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Making Your Own Marijuana-Infused Bath Bombs\n\nPreparing bath bombs is a simple process of combining wet and dry ingredients together to make your bath colorfully bubbly and fun. It’s easy to incorporate cannabis-infused oil into your bombs to take the serenity of your bath to the next level. \n\nThis recipe combines deeply nourishing cannabis-infused coconut oil with rose water to moisturize your skin, relaxing epsom salts to loosen stiff muscles, as well as pink Himalayan sea salt to stimulate circulation and help with detox. If you have sensitivities to any of the suggested ingredients, feel free to swap them out for products that work better for you. For example, you can use olive oil, avocado oil or jojoba oil in place of coconut oil if you prefer. \n\nRELATED:[MARIJUANA HAS A STARRING NEW ROLE IN BEAUTY PRODUCTS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59b87cdfd5d69e1783948b21/marijuana-has-a-new-starring-role-in-beauty-products)\n\n### Ingredients (Makes 8 to 12 Bath Bombs)\n\n>* 1/2 cup baking soda \n>* 1/4 cup citric acid\n>* 2 tbsp pink Himalayan sea salts (fine grain)\n>* 2 tbsp epsom salts \n>* 3 to 4 tsp cannabis-infused coconut oil \n>* 1 to 2 tsp rose water \n>* 1 tsp essential oil (floral scents pair well with this recipe)\n>* 2 to 3 drops food coloring (optional)\n>* Dried, crushed rose petals (optional)\n\n### Equipment\n\n>* Medium bowl\n>* Small bowl\n>* Spoon\n>* Whisk\n>* Disposable gloves\n>* Silicone/metal molds or cookie cutters (you can choose the shape)\n>* Wax Paper (if you don’t have molds)\n\n### Instructions\n\nMix all dry ingredients together in the medium-sized bowl, using the spoon to make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Separately, in the small bowl, combine all the wet ingredients together by slowly stirring them with the whisk until mixed well. When you’re done, put on disposable gloves and begin adding the wet mixture a little at a time (to avoid excessive fizzing) to the dry mixture. Use your hands to blend and gently knead the wet and dry ingredients together. You can add the optional crushed rose petals in at this step. \n\nWhen the mixture looks and feels like wet sand, test to see if it will stick together by taking a small amount and squeezing it in your palm. If the mixture sticks together after being pressed into itself, you are ready to move to the next step. If it’s not the right consistency, add more rose water to the mixture a few drops at a time and do another squeeze test until it sticks together. \n\nIf you have silicone or metal molds, tightly pack the mixture into them. If not, place cookie cutters on top of a piece of wax paper and pack the mixture into those, using a butter knife to level out the molds. For the best results, let your bath bombs rest overnight to dry out thoroughly.\n\nAfter they are completely dry, use them in your bath as often as you like. If it’s warm where you are, store these in the refrigerator so they stay firm.\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.
