A few months ago I bought a Ronco food dehydrator. When it arrived I was sort of disappointed in myself for buying it. It was really big, like one I had up in CT years ago, and although I loved it then, I wanted something smaller now that it is just David and me. I put the box in the closet and figured I would use it someday. Well, yesterday was the someday.
This past weekend we went to the Flea Market and I bought a bag of tomatoes. I didn’t really know why they just looked so fresh. So they sat on my counter and at the first start of blemishes I decided….da-ta-da! to use my food dehydrator and make sun-dried tomatoes. OMG! They are so fantastic!
Back to the food dehydrator…It was silent! No fans, no noise. I am so happy I bought it now!



I sliced the tomatoes, drizzled them with Olive Oil and then sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil.
*Disclaimer: This is not an advertisement for the machine. I’m just stunned with the tomatoes!
Looks good to me 😊

They came out sooooo good! The directions said to you small tomatoes and just cut in half but these were awesome.

The tomatoes came out awesome! They taste good just alone. I can’t wait to make something using them. Yesterday I put in the two bananas that no one seemed to want. They are almost done. I love dried fruit but so much of the ones you buy at the store have so much added sugar.

I tried one, they are not totally done yet, but so sweet! It tasted like I dipped them in a sugary syrup!

Makes you wonder why they add so much sugar when they are produced.

Sugar is cheaper than fruit and addictive! Keeps customers buying the product.

When I was teaching in an inner city we always talked about how a bag of chips is cheaper than a bag of apples! I would bring in blueberries and the kids would go nuts. They can’t afford blueberries! So sad but true

Yes, a bag of chips is cheaper in the short run but is destructive for one’s health!
