Putting the Dehydrator to work...finally!

DateWednesday, September 7, 2011

So, a few months ago, ok almost a YEAR ago, we got this new dehydrator in an effort to make some truly healthy and raw food. The first attempt didn't go so well. We tried doing something with okra. I guess in the right knowledgeable hands in can be amazing. This wasn't the case for us. The okra went straight in the garbage and the new dehydrator became a resident of the garage.

Yesterday we were inspired to give it another shot and managed to produce these awesome Kale Chips. Based on this success, I'm thinking the okra deserves a second chance. After pondering what went wrong it became apparent we took them out too soon. Lesson: when dehydrating veggies, don't get in a hurry.

Be sure to try dehydrating melons, such a great snack food! I LOVE my dehydrator and use it all the time.
