I am so excited because something SPECTACULAR arrived in the mail.
My very own:
Woo-hoo I’m a proud owner of a food dehydrator!! You should have seen me when it arrived- I looked like an child on Christmas morning. I was so ecstatic. Let me count the reasons.
- We have herbs growing on our back deck and it will perfect to dry them for hibernation the winter months.
- I’ve been reading/hearing a lot about raw recipes for crackers, fruit leathers, etc. that require a dehydrator. Basically there are a ton of things I can’t wait to make with my new kitchen gadget.
- I love dried fruit (which feeds my slight addiction to trail mix). So of course, I’m excited to dry my own and make some snacks- oh la la, homemade trail mix.
- I really want to make my own version of JUST PERSIMMONS because they are out of this world, but also $$$.
Last, but certainly not least (proven by the fact that it’s the first thing I thought to make) I am pumped that I can now recreate Gina’s Macaroons at home. I’m not sure this a good thing because from what I can tell, I am going to want to make them every other day. But of course, it’s a good thing because they so delicious!
In other news, my weekend went pretty well. I enjoyed my niece’s dance recital on Friday evening and relaxed in the warm weather on Saturday. Today I made it to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, went bowling, and ate macaroons all day. Pretty successful weekend if I do say so myself. Hope yours was great as well!!

Andrea- Good idea, Kitchen gadgets have basically taken over all of our counter space AND cabinets. It’s getting to be a little much.
The model I got has 5 trays and cost $190.00. I think the cheapest one is on sale for $120.
