The Dehydrating Weekend

My friend Heather pulled out the dehydrator she'd had for years and dehydrated treats for her Greyhounds . . . liver to be exact. Of course, I thought this a fabulous idea so I immediately went online and purchased my own dehydrator. It arrived and I finally unpacked it and went shopping for "things" to dehydrate.

My first venture was apples. My girls love apples! I started these Friday evening. They turned out yummy! I think this is the first homemade treat (besides the marshmallows) that works for both canines and humans!
Then I decided to try bananas. Below is a before picture and an after picture. The girls absolutely love the bananas! Yum, yum! They love these new treats. They are very healthy for them (and me) . . . so who can refuse?















Next I'll try sweet potatoes and then eventually, I'll try liver!! Of course, they will love both of those, I know. There isn't much my girls won't eat so I really can't go wrong!

Once again, they think I hung the moon!

Patti, your treats look great! I may have to get myself a dehydrator too.

Hmmm... I love dried fruit. Save that liver drying for lovely fans and open windows day :-).

now i'm tempted. maybe i'll get a new one for me and go to ebay for an old cruddy one for below the house. houses here can be raised to get the breezes. downstairs can stink to high heaven, as far as i'm concerned.

don't know if i'll risk liver, though. GBD was nuts.

There is Spanx for the arms, by the way. :) Check out Slimpressions! I saw these in Redbook. Since I hate my arm flab, I was desperate enough to try them....and they're GREAT! (Got mine at herroom.com, by the way. No shipping there.)
