There is no law saying you can’t make waffles from scratch, in fact, that would be impressive. For those of us who choose to go the frozen route, you will be rewarded with far less effort. If you are looking for an infused waffle recipe, just send an email to Laurie@laurieandmaryjane.com.

This is meant to be a delicious, decadent mess. Take a moment to admire and appreciate this fine work of art before shamelessly devouring it.

5 frozen waffles, any type, toasted

1 large or two small bananas, thinly sliced

1/2 cup Nutella

2 teaspoons cannabutter, melted, or mild flavored cannabis-infused oil

4 strips of bacon, cooked until crisp

1. In a small bowl, toss the banana slices with the orange juice (keeps the bananas from turning brown).
2. In a small bowl, combine the Nutella with the canna-butter.
3. Place a waffle on your plate. Top with some banana slices. Layer with another waffle, and spread with Nutella. Layer with another waffle and place the bacon on top. Place another waffle on the bacon. Once again top with banana and cover with the remaining waffle. Place Nutella on the last waffle, and add the remaining banana slices.
4. Pour maple syrup over the whole, beautiful mess, and enjoy.

Triple Potato Nachos

2 tablespoons orange juice

Serves 4 to 6

Potatoes and cheese are many a cannabis consumer’s dream. This tower of crispy carbs is the ultimate comfort food. If you have an oven safe plate or baking dish it’s easy to pop in the oven to melt the final layer of cheese.

Ingredients:

(1)10 oz. package tater tots

(1)10 oz. package frozen fries

1-2 tablespoons cannabis-infused oil

(1)20 oz. box/bag frozen hash browns

1 cup chopped scallion

1 cup mixed chopped bell peppers

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1-2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 425°F (this temperature seems to work with most frozen tots and fries).
2. Place the tots and the fries on oiled cookie sheets. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
3. Heat the cannabis-infused oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the hash browns and cook with one-quarter cup of the scallion and peppers. Cook until golden brown.
4. Place the hash browns on the plate. Sprinkle with one-quarter cup of the cheese. Next place the tots on top of the hash browns and add another 1/4 cup of cheese. Top with the fries. Reduce the heat to 240°
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and the remaining vegetables and cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Maple syrup

Over-the-top S’more Milkshake

Serves 2

Drive-thru milkshake concoctions fail in comparison to this cool elevation of a camper’s favorite dessert. Satisfy that sweet tooth for at least a month with this Over-the-top S’more Milkshake.

4 tablespoons chocolate syrup, divided

2 single graham crackers, crushed

4 cups vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

2 teaspoons cannabis-infused coconut oil

2 single graham crackers

6 marshmallows

2 single graham crackers, broken in pieces

1. Drizzle two tablespoons of the chocolate syrup inside the two glasses. If the syrup is thick, use a knife and spread it in spots inside the glass. It won’t be neat, which is absolutely fine with everyone. Chill for 20 minutes.
2. With the remaining syrup make a pool on a small plate. Place the crushed crackers on another plate. Turn both glasses upside down and one at a time run each rim through the syrup, and then dip the edge into the crackers.
3. In a blender combine the ice cream, fluff, infused oil and the crackers. Pour the milkshake into the two prepared glasses. Top each glass with a few large marshmallows, followed by the broken crackers. Using a crème brûlée torch, or your favorite dab torch, very carefully lightly toast the marshmallows.
