Before the garlic is peeled,
before the blender hums alive,
we honor the land beneath our feet—
borrowed, burdened, and beloved.
This desert remembers.
The saguaros stand as witness.
We cook with care, with Smoke, with song,
knowing healing is never without history.
Welcome to Stoned with Saguaros: A High Desert Kitchen
Recipes, Rituals, and Survival from the Soft-Bellied Edge
This is a queer, desert-rooted sanctuary for sacred snacks and edible storytelling. Created in the haze of cannabis, trauma recovery, and culinary curiosity, these recipes are more than food—they're rituals stirred up from memory, survival, and love. Each dish begins with a craving, a feeling, a foggy miracle in the kitchen. Each story is seasoned with truth.
Guided by Saul Ember—a fire-warmed culinary mystic—this space holds gluten-free, whole food, plant-based creations made under the watchful arms of saguaros in San Manuel, Arizona. We grow what we can. We tend what grows us. And we bless every moment with Smoke.
Come hungry. Come tender. Come stoned.
We’re cooking something sacred.
