Dehydrator

So this may be a silly post, but I want everyone to know how great a dehyrator is. BJ and I recently bought one of these wonderful appliances and have been using it non-stop! We have made tons of beef jerky and a lot of dried fruit. What I love about it the most is I am making the food myself so I know what is going in, or not going in, to my food.

Take beef jerky for example. It is a great snack that is high in protein, but also VERY high in sodium when you buy it from the store. With the dehydrator we can control how much sodium goes into the jerky. I bloat very easily so this is a big one for me. Also, with dried fruits and veggies, there are always so many preservatives that I just don't want. When I make my own, there is nothing!

I am not getting paid to say any of this. I truely think everyone should buy a dehydrator. They make great snacks and are so easy to use! So that is my little tip for the day. Right now I am drying out pineapple and apple slices...mmmmm!
