Julienne the following: carrots, broccoli -stalks-, red cabage, green cabage (even amounts, or whatever ratio you prefer) - put into bowl. 2. Mix in a can of drained, cooked, black beans (or other favorite low GI beans [stay out of the baked bean territory]). 3. Add you favorite low carb salad dressing, creamy-style is my favorite (Carb Options line of Ranch or Blue Cheese works great) but a vinegarette can also do. 4. Mix it all up, eat. ---- Lettuce is a POS food, nutritionally useless and frankly hard to digest for some. The above salad is a MUCH healthier option. |
I just figured this one out today.
RJ's "au naturale" Grape Candy
1. Buy a bunch of green seedless grapes
2. Wash them to ensure all bad stuff is washed off
3. Pluck the grapes off the stems and put in a freezer safe bowl
4. Freeze overnight
5. Eat
These bastards are tasty. Hard like candy, sweet/sour like grapes.
I don't like candy, too sweet/not healthy - but this is an uber-healty option for a sweet tooth. Freezing the grapes does something to the sugars (like ice wine) to make them taste sweeter.
N-Joy.

RJ's Uber Grilled Cheese
Over the last few weeks I've been throwing stuff into a grilled cheese sandwich - with good results. I've also been trying different cheeses with good results.

RJ's Sweeeeeeeet Potato
Sweet potato is the shit.
Better for you then regular potatos - sweet potatos are top shelf stuff.
What makes a regular potato a "bad" food is: a) other than carbohydrates they are fairly nutritionally empty b) the crap people put on them to make them tasty.
Best thing about these Sweet Potato bastards is that they taste fantastico with no topings (no butter, no nothing).
Cooking Instructions: Bake it at 375 deg F for 45 mins, flip, bake another 45 mins. Finished. Just bake and eat plain.
Bake up a bunch, throw them in the fidge - 45 seconds in the microwave to re-heat and it's a good snackaroo. They'll last at least 4 days in the fridge (cooked). They'll last 3 to 4 weeks on the counter (uncooked).
n*joy.

Alright, well I won't waste time on the brownie recipe, but rather the bud butter recipe. This way you can make any baked goods that require butter potent.
First off you need these things:
bud buster (I use a trusty black and decker coffee grinder, make sure you get one with a chamber and blades, nothing that goes through a shoot and into a container)
cheese cloth (I dunno where you get one, I punked one off my parents who use them to make this arabic dairy product called Labneh)
A pot - different from pot, a pot to cook.
A large bowl - it's like made to hold like, liquids and stuff
Alright, now you need these ingredients.
1/2 ounce of marijuana
1 lb of butter (makes EVERYTHING taste better, try doubling the butter you add in Kraft Dinner one time, it's so much richer, so much better)
Water.
Now follow these steps:
- Grind up your bud in the grinder.
- Pinch some.
- Roll a joint.
- Smoke joint (No point doing this unless you're high).
- Take the rest and grind it some more. Keep grinding till it's made into a super fine powder.
- Put water in the pot and bring to a boil.
- Add butter to the water till it melts.
- Put the bud into the pot. (confusing I know how can you put something into itself?)
- Cover and let boil for 1 hour.
The THC in the weed is fat soluble. It'll bond to the butter in the water. The high temperatures break down the cell walls of the plant, releasing the thc.
- Strain finished product through the cheese cloth into the bowl. Collect all the water and butter.
- Squeeze the cheese cloth full of the bud to get out all the butter and water that is left
- Place water mixture in the fridge and let cool. Do not put in the freezer to speed up the process.
As the water cools, the butter will seperate to the top and harden. This is when you save the butter and dump the water.
Use butter for cooking projects.
NOTE: You can skip the water part all together by cooking the butter and weed in a crockpot for 24 hours on the lowest setting. But it's harder to get the butter seperated from the bud this way through the cheese cloth.
ENJOY.

Body buzz more than a head buzz.
It's not as "efficient" as when you smoke a joint. Bud brownies are more a luxury you enjoy when you have excessive amounts of pot lying around. Like when you and your buddy split a pound.
