I'm also hoping all is well for you Tara.
I thought I was done with herbs but we got some much needed rain and the temps are still quite warm. Everything is greening up again! I might be drying another round of herbs soon.

Today I'm drying two 8oz pkg of baby Bella mushrooms I got on sale for winter sauces and chili. Yes, I sometime put dried mushrooms in my chili.

I look at it this way, Sara. Better dried than wasted! I can sneak mushrooms into our meals if they are chopped up very small. My husband doesn't like them, but I have managed to get them into so many different things! Dehydrating sounds like a great idea to me! I can sneak them into more things that they! Hehehehe

Diced apples and apple slices in dehydrator Last Tues we went back to apple orchard in NC. They has a huge crate of 2nds or "culls" in the back. I dug thru and found small but still in good shape fruit. About a 1/2 bushel. I dont have any idea the variety. I had to try a few slices and oh yum! It's going to be a challenge not to eat them all by the weekend. I want diced apples to enjoy this winter on oatmeal.

Tara, I've always liked to go through baskets of fruit or vegetables in the back or on the marked down shelves. With a little work there's good food for eating, canning, or drying.

Sara, I do like a bargain. I was at grocery store and ask guy if they were going to mark down all that bagged kale. He said he was going to throw it out. I got 4 bags on the cheap. I volunteer at food bank and once a month we are given a box of produce. I'm glad to have the food and preserve what we dont eat within a day.
