2 Easy No-Cook Cannabis Dinners

We’re getting closer to better weather all over the world, and with that comes the battle of what to cook! Here are 2 Easy No-Cook Cannabis Dinners.

Let’s face it, even the best of Chef’s struggle from time to time, or they’re so busy they just don’t have the actual time to cook.

Cooking a delicious dinner takes planning and preparation. Not to mention a budget and a sense of imagination.

I’m pretty sure the words: “What should I cook for dinner?” are famous in many homes by now, and it’s partly due to the fact that we’re all staying in a lot more, and (applause) cooking at home.

But who said cooking had to involve gassing up the stove, the BBQ or heating up the entire house with the oven? Nobody!

If truth be told, a yummy little meal with little to no effort that has flavor is everything to me. Plus? The clean up is ten times easier and that works for me!

You might be thinking that this article is going to deliver you a bunch of salads right? Well, yes – salads are a part of it – BUT there’s something else in store for you that I think you might just love.

So slap on your aprons, get your Cannabis Chef mindset prepared, and let’s not cook!
