A growing trend we’re seeing both online and in daily life is the unique interplay between DIY recipes, home-cooking, and cannabinoids. Driven by both CBD enthusiasts and the public alike, more men and women are finding new and exciting ways to incorporate cannabinoids into their daily meals.

With more positive discoveries related to the health benefits of CBD, CBG, and CBN being published daily; an increasing amount of research is supporting the decision to use these powerful cannabinoids as a means of empowering your everyday.

Pick the Best Products

The first thing you need to remember when cooking with cannabidiol is to pick the perfect cannabinoid product for you. LUFF Brands has two different CBD oils, both of which are flavored with light orange oil, so you want to make sure that whatever recipe you choose works well; salad dressings for example work well. More savory foods may not be the best flavor complement. Secondly, with regards to dosage; it’s important to use the right amount (in mg) of CBD Oil, as our oils are super potent and have 2500 mg of CBD in the 30 mL bottle – that’s over 83 mg / mL. Finally, see to it that you pick high-quality ingredients to pair with – so that you get the best results. This way, you can achieve the desired effect and enjoy the full potential of your special component.

Do Not Overuse Ita

You might be tempted to add this ingredient liberally. However, it is important to pace your consumption. Just like with dosage, you need to make sure that you use an amount that you can handle. Beginners should low and slow, while those that are more comfortable with this compound may feel free to experiment.

Introduce Fat

Keep in mind that cannabinoids bind well with fat and oil-based ingredients. Because of this, your recipe should have some sort of grease or fat in it. This way, the potential of your cannabinoid is not wasted, and you can take advantage of the full benefits of this compound.

Use Controlled Heat

Whenever you use cannabinoids in cooking, exercise caution when it comes to applying heat. This is because excessive heat can cause CBD to evaporate, losing the potency of this highly potent compound. Take note that the boiling point for cannabidiol is between 320 degrees F to 356 degrees F, so make sure not to go over 356.

Delightful Recipes You Can Try

CBD ‘Bulletproof’ Coffee

A few years back there was a trend called ‘bulletproofing’ your coffee in which some caffeine enthusiasts threw coconut oil into their cup of joe and used butter as coffee creamer. Mixing this concoction using a blender makes your coffee a ‘bulletproof’ one as it is known to enhance focus and facilitate weight loss. If adding coconut to your morning (or afternoon!) coffee as a fix works, you can bet that adding CBD oil works as well. CBD enthusiasts found a way to give this recipe a cannabinoid-inspired twist. You can combine your coffee with CBD goodness by using CBD-infused coconut products. To make this you just need a cup of brewed coffee, 1 to 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter, and instead of ordinary coconut oil, add 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of CBD Oil infused version of this ingredient. Combine this using a blender until frothy and you have your CBD ‘bulletproof’ coffee.  LUFF’s ASSIST CBD + CBG Oil Tincture is lightly flavored with orange oil and will give a lovely depth of complexion to the coffee.

Pesto Pasta

You might be wondering: can I use this compound for heavier dishes such as lunchtime and dinnertime meals? The answer is yes, you definitely can!

Let’s start with an easy-to-make pasta recipe. Pesto is your best bet when making a cannabinoid-infused pasta dish. With Danilo Alfaro’s Classic Basil Pesto Sauce recipe, you just need:

• 3 cups of fresh basil leaves
• 3 cloves of garlic
• ½ cup pine nuts or walnuts
• ¾ cup of grated hard cheese
• and a half cup of olive oil
• ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper
• And the special ingredient, LUFF ASSIST CBD + CBG Oil, to your ideal mg dosage.

The secret to making this CBD-infused dish is to add the desired amount of CBD Oil to your olive oil before mixing. To make this sauce, just place your herbs, cloves, and buds in a processor and pulse until you achieve a coarse paste. Transfer it into a bowl, add the oil (CBD + Olive Oil) and cheese, then stir. Now, you just need to toss this sauce with cooked pasta and you are good to go! Enjoy.

Cookies

No meal is complete without dessert, which is why we are including a recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth. This chocolate chip cookie recipe from “AllRecipes” is pretty simple. However, we will add our special ingredient: cannabidiol. For a dozen cookies, you will need the following:
