You are bored in quarantine too, aren’t you? Well, then it’s time to pick up your apron and get into the kitchen to experiment with cannabis. It is one of the best ways to drain off the dullness while keeping a check on your dose. Also, since most 420 doctors are advising against smoking cannabis in the present pandemic. Why not use your buds to make something more delicious and potent right?
A small amount of cannabis can go a long way in cooking. And that is good news during a quarantine. However, if you are in need of restocking or wish to try these recipes, you can place an order now. Since cannabis is essential in most states in the US. You can get your stash delivered on the doorstep or pickup from the curb. While some states may ask you for a medical marijuana card others will just need your ID proof.
Once you have all the necessary ingredients, get ready to turn your buds, tincture or concentrate into a delicious meal or an evening snack. So, here are some cannabis recipes that you can try during the quarantine.
6 Cannabis Recipies List:
1. Gummies
Cannabis gummies are one of the most loved and preferred forms of edibles in the market. They are flavorful and just the perfect size to pop into the mouth. While you can find them in your regular cannabis dispensary. Why not try and prepare them in your own kitchen. This way you can even try whatever flavor you like.
Begin by boiling some water and your cannabis infusion (cannaoil or cannabutter) on low heat. Remember to stir them continuously. Then add the unflavored and flavored gelatin in the pan and stir it again on low heat for some time. Once everything is mixed together, pour the mixture into a dropper. You can easily find one online. Lightly spray the silicone molds with cooking oil and quickly pour the mixture into it. The key is to be fast with the pouring or else the mixture will cool off and not be the right consistency. Once you are done, place the mold in the freezer and wait for at least 30 minutes. You can then take the gummies out and store it in an airtight container to last longer.
2. Guacamole
How about a healthy snack infused with cannabis? A bowl of guacamole can do the trick. You can make this recipe using cannaoil, raw marijuana leaves or finely ground buds. First, prepare a creamy mixture of avocados. You can do this by putting them in a food processor or using a fork and a bowl. Then add some finely chopped tomatoes, onions, peppers, lime juice and other condiments as per your preference. Mix it all together and serve it with some fried tortilla strips. Here you have a perfect quarantine snack to combine with Netflix and chill.
3. Banana Bread
A hearty slice of banana bread with a coffee can be a great way to start the day or a perfect evening snack. Begin by preheating your oven to 350-degree Fahrenheit. And prep the pan with parchment paper and cooking oil. Then mix all your wet ingredients one by one. Start with melted cannabutter and sugar. Then add eggs, vanilla and mashed banana into the mixture. Next, mix the dry ingredients. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a bowl. And slowly mix it with the wet ingredients.
Now pour the mixture into the pan and let it bake for 70 to 75 minutes. Use a toothpick or a fork to check if the loaf is fully done. It should come out without any batter sticking to it. Once the loaf cools down, slice it and enjoy your delicious creation.
4. Popsicles
Quarantine does not take away the heat that the summers bring along. So while you stay indoors away from the virus, keep the heat at bay too with cannabis popsicles. You can choose your favorite flavor and turn it into an icy treat. Just take your choice of frozen fruit like blueberries, strawberries or raspberries. And mix them with sugar and lime juice in a food processor. Make another mixture of your choice of milk, sugar, lime juice, vanilla and the tincture you use. Mix them well in a blender.
Take the molds and pour each of the mixtures one by one in all the molds, in equal amounts. Place them in the freezer for at least 5 to six hours. And enjoy them in the summer sun.
5. Pizza
Are you a pizza lover like me? Then you’ll fall in love with it, even more, when I tell you that you can infuse it with cannabis. You can choose to add cannabis in the dough, the sauce or as a seasoning. It’s all a matter of preference. For the dough, knead the flour, cannaoil and salt into a dough. Let it rest for some time and then from the base.
You can also add cannabis into the tomato sauce. Use cannaoil to saute all the ingredients of a sauce, but remember to keep stirring on low heat. Once everything is prepared, put it together and place it in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes. You can even choose to sprinkle some ground cannabis before placing the pizza in the oven for the herby aroma.

Quarantine has not put a break into the workout routines of the people. So if you need a boost from the protein shake and cannabis. Then mix the two for a boost of energy for a perfect workout.
