Foolproof Recipes for a 420-Friendly Memorial Day BBQ

If you’re lucky, the weather is really starting to warm up where you are —
which means summer is right around the corner. While the sun is beginning
to stay out longer, it’s the perfect time to get outside in the sunshine to
celebrate Memorial Day with a BBQ. Whether you choose to stay at home in
your own backyard and laze around with the family or go out to a park to do
it big with a group of friends, having a few cannabis-infused recipes up
your sleeve for the day is a must.
For the best results, consider only choosing one or two dishes to make so
that everyone can responsibly have a good time without having to miss out
on eating all of the good food that’s available. Also, make sure that you
clearly mark which foods have cannabis in them and which ones don’t. If
you’re a little savvy, you can also include how much THC or CBD people can
expect in a serving. Otherwise, just let your guests know that they should
take it slow, nibble and wait to see how they feel after an hour before
proceeding.
Toasted Mac & Cheese
Everyone loves mac and cheese, so an infused version is even better. Though
this recipe uses cheddar, swiss and mozzarella, you can choose your own
cheesy combination or make things easy for yourself with a straight cheddar
cheese masterpiece. You can also choose whether you want to add in the
spinach as suggested just for something a little different or just leave it
out altogether if you’re a mac and cheese purist.
Brownies
Keep it easy with a classic go-to dessert that you can leave simple or take
up a notch or two, depending on what mood you’re in. Get creative with some
tasty spins on the standard brownies recipe by just adding in ingredients
to switch up the flavor profile. Think: mocha brownies made with brewed
coffee, s’mores brownies topped with gooey marshmallow or decadent salted
caramel mixed straight into the batter.
*Super Lemon Haze Guacamole*
Chips are a go-to snack during barbecues when you need something to munch
on before the good stuff is ready, so having some guac to pair with them is
a good look. The recipe uses an uplifting, energizing strain that will be
perfect for a fun-filled day of chilling and socializing with people. Just
remind guests to be mindful of their dipping so they can comfortably enjoy
the rest of the day.
Cannabis-Infused Pie Crust & Apple Pie
If Memorial Day is about remembering and honoring those who served in the
armed forces, then it makes sense that a quintessentially American dessert
like apple pie would make it onto the menu. Consider making more than one
pie if you have lots of guests or cutting small slices so everyone gets to
try it. It’s really just the pie crust that’s infused, so if you’re not an
apple pie fan, you can easily swap the apples out and use the filling of
your choice.
Chicken Caesar Salad
The magic in this recipe is in the dressing that is made with infused
canna-oil. This means that you can choose to stick by the book and use it
on a traditional chicken caesar salad or use the dressing for a dip or
sauce for another dish. You can also use it in place of mayo on a burger,
if you want to try something really different.
Pineapple Kush-Infused Beef Satay
This recipe is made for the grill and will satisfy the meat-lovers who want
something besides run-of-the-mill fodder like hamburgers and hotdogs. It’s
a nice balance of sweet and savory. that You could also grill these little
kabobs up with veggies for an easy finger food. If you’re vegetarian or
plan to have guests that are, you can swap out the beef for all veggies but
still use the marinade for flavor.
