My New Best Friend

I'd like everyone to meet my new best friend!
Her name is "Dee-Dee" and I already love her so much. :-)
Isn't she a beauty?
We've already had a wonderful time hanging out together and making some snacks.

First up was a batch of cheesy kale chips.  The kale chips were okay, but I think I'm gonna tweak the cheese sauce just a little bit. I like the kale chips as a replacement for potato chips. I love the crunchiness of them.

Then I whipped up a batch of Cauliflower Popcorn.
I took a head of cauliflower and separated it into small portions.  The pieces will shrink once they have been dehydrated.  I tossed the cauliflower in a cheese sauce (different from the one I used to make the kale chips), making sure the cauliflower was well coated with the cheese sauce.
I then dehydrated them at 105 degrees over night.  If you decide to make these snacks, just check the dehydrator ever so often until you think your snacks are ready.



Do you own a dehydrator? If so, what are some of the foods you create in it?

  1. Oh, wow, I didn't realize there was a dehydrator on the market for home use. I have seen those kale chips at Whole foods, and always want to try them.
    I am glad you are sharing your journey with us. I concur....Don't judge me and I won't judge you. We can all learn something positive from one another.

    All the Best-
    Demetria
