New year, fresh page, no guilt goals. We’re kicking off 2026 by swapping fragile resolutions for a playful, practical system that actually sticks: a yearlong Bingo Card.

A vanished batch of peppermint cookie bars turns a quiet holiday prep into a whirlwind of mystery, laughter, and craft—and it all starts with a fruitcake. We open the doors of the Bite Me Cannabis Club to find twinkling lights, a missing “Santa’s Special Reserve,” and a community ready to rally. What looks like a disaster becomes a tour through joy: Shady Pines residents riding a gentle high, debating Beatles lyrics, and surprising everyone with the kind of old-school expertise that can save a show and reinvent a recipe.

Holiday kitchens run on memory, spice, and a dash of chaos—and this two-tone eggnog fudge doubles as a smart, shareable edible. I walk you through a glossy Food & Drink magazine inspiration and show how to make it real at home: a creamy eggnog base with vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, topped by a pink, fruit-forward layer kissed with rum. I share the practical steps, infusion choices, and the exact mistakes that turned my glass-top stove into a smoke machine.

Your kitchen might be the best dispensary you’ll ever have, but the real magic happens in your brain. We pull back the curtain on the endocannabinoid system and show how edibles—especially THC—bind to CB1 receptors, ripple through dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, and shape everything from euphoria to anxiety to time distortion. If you’ve noticed that your favorite gummy doesn’t hit like it used to, there’s a reason: tolerance builds as your brain downregulates receptors. The good news is that sensitivity can return faster than you think with a short...

Curious whether cannabis can actually help your dog or cat—and how to do it without risking a scary night of wobbling and worry? I sit down with veterinarian Dr. Casara Andre to unpack a safe, practical roadmap for pet parents who want evidence-based guidance, not guesswork. From the endocannabinoid system’s (ECS) role in pain, mood, and balance to the real differences between THC and CBD in animals, this conversation translates complex science into clear steps you can use today.

Holiday tables can be loud and the myths about cannabis are often louder. We wanted to arm you with clarity, compassion, and receipts. So we take on four of the most persistent stereotypes: the “lazy stoner,” the forgetful lightweight, the gateway narrative, and the idea that cannabis users are unhealthy or addicted by default. Using current research, historical context, and stories from our own kitchen, we separate temporary effects from enduring traits and show how intention, dosing, and education change everything.

If you’re heading into family conversations, we’ve got your...

What if comfort food could be quick, and perfectly dosed for everyone at the table? We’re taking a humble can of pumpkin and spinning it into a glossy, creamy pasta that delivers big flavor with simple steps—and we’re pairing it with a smarter edibles strategy that puts you in control. No guesswork, no overdoing it, just a flexible, crowd-friendly dish you can serve on a busy weeknight or as a calming counterpoint to holiday chaos.

Cooking, culture, and a plant with a complicated past converge in a wide‑ranging conversation with filmmakers Patty Mooney and Mark Schulze, the duo behind Nectarball: The Story of Cannabis. What started at the Emerald Cup became a seven‑year journey across South Africa, Europe, and the Americas, capturing 165 candid interviews with nurses, scientists, growers, and icons like Tommy Chong and Ed Rosenthal, without a single line of narration. The result is a living archive of voices that demystify cannabis while honoring its roots

A virtual Halloween cook-along, a cryptic newcomer named Shadow Weaver, and a blackberry gummy that turns the night electric, this is the story of how a simple edible became a shared moment of wonder. We gather at the High Table with costumes, cobwebs, and a plan to swap recipes, then stumble into a poetic set of instructions that walk the line between kitchen craft and kitchen spell. The result is a deeply purple, precisely dosed treat we can all make at home, wrapped in a mood that invites curiosity and play.

Coffee should taste like fall and feel like focus. I show you how to make a silky pumpkin spice creamer with real pumpkin, warm spices, and an infused maple syrup that delivers calm clarity in the morning.

Start with a kitchen timer and an open mind. We’re digging into how a long, loving relationship with cannabis changes as life changes—and how a mindful reset can make every milligram count again. With public health researcher and cannabis educator Amanda Reiman, we connect the dots from early Bay Area dispensary lounges born out of the HIV/AIDS movement to today’s crowded shelves, where choice is abundant but guidance is rare.

We talk about the real reasons tolerance can drop as we age, especially for women, through the le...
