Fun With Dehydrating

A couple of weeks ago, I threw together a trail mix to take with us camping.  I loved everything in that  mix!  It had nuts, banana chips, chocolate yogurt covered raisins, dried pineapple and dried cantaloupe.  It was delicious!  After tasting the dried cantaloupe, I got to thinking about getting a dehydrator and making dried fruits at home.  Lauryn and Lloyd both enjoyed that mix and I thought we could all benefit from having healthier snacks around the house.  I ordered a dehydrator along with "the Dehydrator bible" and it came yesterday.  Today I did banana chips and strawberry-banana fruit roll-ups.  Every thing turned out great!  I was worried about the fruit roll-ups when the finished drying because it didn't seem like they were going to peel of the liner but after a few minutes they did and they taste great!  Tomorrow I'm going to dry cantaloupe and make apple cinnamon fruit roll-ups.  Saturday, is jerky day!!!  I am so excited to make jerky!  I am loving this already and it's only been one day :)
