Going Green

Some sugar-free sweets I made in honor of the last 420 Easter I’ll see in my life, unless if I live to 120.

I made these Easter-themed chocolates with just a few ingredients: Lily’s chocolate chips, coconut oil, and green food coloring. (And I used my own Easter-themed silicone mold that I got at Home Goods to get into that Easter spirit!) Save for the food coloring, this is also the base for making keto nut clusters (one of my favorite desserts), and you can add some nuts to your sweets, if you like. You can also add your own sweeteners or extracts to the melted mix. (With today also being 420, if you want to make your own edibles, simply add as much THC or CBD tincture you want to the mix. I am not responsible for getting you stoned, in this case.)

As it has been in my experience with sweets with coconut oil, it’s best to consume them while chilled. They do get melty.

And Tonight, I Get Lit

candle and cat

I’d grumble over my long work weekend happening the same time as 420 weekend, but, honestly, it’s been years since I smoked weed, so I’m not really missing out. I occasionally indulge in a small edible, but that’s about it. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to get into the 420 spirit tonight! I’ve had that Malin + Goetz candle for over a year now, and, yes, I only bring it out during 420 time. (Although its bold aroma can work for cold days of late fall and winter.) Does it smell like cannabis? No, but anyone who enjoys that dank woodsy scent would like it. Happy 420, everyone! 💚

(And watching the flame is my pet “cat” that I got at Trader Joe’s last Halloween. Isn’t he cute?)
