2 tablespoons olive oil 4 teaspoons canna-olive oil 2 ounces pancetta, cut in small pieces 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 3 eggs ½ cup grated parmesan 1 pound spaghetti salt / black pepper parmesan, garnish

1. In a large sauté pan heat the oils over medium-low heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. 2. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs with the parmesan, stirring well to remove any lumps. 3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. The pasta needs to be hot for this dish to be successful.4. Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the pancetta and oil. 5. Remove the pan from the heat and add the egg mixture to the pasta. Whisk fast, as you do not want the eggs to scramble, just coat the strands of spaghetti. 6. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parmesan and eat immediately.

ROASTED CUMIN CAULIFLOWER 1 pound cauliflower, ½ inch slices 1/8 cup olive oil 4 teaspoons canna-oil 2 teaspoons ground cumin coarse salt 1. Heat oven to 340. Place the cauliflower on a sheet pan. 2. In a small bowl combine the oils and brush on the slices on both sides. Sprinkle with the cumin and coarse salt.

This easy to make soup is perfect for March, when there’s still a chill in the air. The cumin and the caraway seeds flavor this creamy and soothing dish. Carrots and potatoes = perfect together.

As we wait for our vaccines, Cannabis has been a huge help with my mental health management. I’m guessing it’s the same for you. Going for more relaxing strains, Willie’s Kush Cake from Noble Farms is taking care of my anxiety. That is huge, as it’s been rough – so if you are looking for relaxation and minimized stress, seek out Kush strains from your favorite dispensary. March is kind of an in between food month – the winter bounty is done and the spring offerings are on their way. These three recipes are comfort food, but not crazy heavy.

3. Roast the cauliflower until tender, turning once, for 30-35 minutes.
