enjoy by Watermelon A FOOL OF MYSELF A Cannabis Culinary Column Photo by Tom Davidson Famous for selling watermelon slices and pot cookies on Wreck Beach, marijuana pin-up girl and advocate Watermelon is also a chef and business owner with a popular cannabis cooking show on YouTube. This month, she shares one of the gluten- and dairy-free recipes that has helped her pursue healthier habits. For many years now, I have been attempting to quit one thing for a year, to see what happens. It’s an excellent dietary exercise as well as one in selfcontrol. At the end of the year, I take it back up again. To date I have quit coffee, dairy, corn/corn products, white flour, overeating, and alcohol. 70 grow. heal. live. enjoy. myhydrolife.ca
Chocolate Quinoa Cupcakes Makes 12 servings STEP 1 Start with: • 3/4 C coconut oil • 12 g shake flour I like to put this in a crock pot on medium/low and walk away for an hour, maybe two, but you can simply put this in a sauce pan on low heat for 25 minutes. Longer cooking, without burning, equals stronger cupcakes. Let cool. STEP 2 Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Place into the food processor or blender: • 1/3 C cashew milk (sprouted cashews and water blended) • 2 C cooked quinoa * • 4 eggs Mix thoroughly, then carefully add the cooled coconut oil and cannabis mixture. Mix thorough again. STEP 3 Put into a medium bowl: • 1.5 C white sugar • 1 C cocoa powder • 1/2 tsp baking soda • 1.5 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp salt Add to wet ingredients in blender and mix thoroughly. STEP 4 Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. There are two ways to test that they are done: Lightly press your finger into the top of a cupcake—if it springs back up it’s cooked; if the impression stays, it is not cooked. Or, poke a toothpick directly down the centre of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they are cooked; if there is wet dough stuck to it, then they are not cooked. Once cooked, let cool; then decorate your cupcake any way you like. *quinoa cooks a lot like rice, 1 cup grain to 2 cups water “Make your goal achievable, and don’t beat yourself up about the other things.” The key is to pick one thing. Make your goal achievable, and don’t beat yourself up about the other things. For instance, the year I quit coffee, I did not quit caffeine. Totally achievable. Focus on what you are quitting and not what else you should quit. The only thing I wasn’t successful quitting for a whole year was swearing. I even tried two years in a row. No luck. Swears just come out of your body. Things coming out of you are harder to control than things going into you. This year I planned to quit gluten. Very fashionable, don’t you agree? I have always avoided shoddy, white, baked goods and focused more on whole grains, but now I will attempt an all-out assault against gluten entering my body for <strong>2017</strong>. Everybody who eats kale and avocados knows that quinoa is the queen of gluten free. Quinoa is versatile and a great source of protein. We make an amazing quinoa, amaranth, and cashew milk waffle at my store (the Commercial Drive Licorice Parlour). They sell as fast as we make them. Let’s ring in a new year and get ready for spring with medicated chocolate quinoa cupcakes. I use coconut oil in place of butter and cashew milk in place of dairy milk. Gluten- and dairy-free.
