March 1st is literally around the corner and the site will be open to the public and you no longer will be logging in to enjoy your recipes.
In the meantime, we are busy working in the background. One thing that is in question (on our end) is the FAVORITES FEATURE that allows you to compile a list of your favorite recipes on the site. We are not positive if this feature can or will remain on the site once the change over happens.
So… if YOUR favorite list is important to you, please copy and paste the links to your computer. Once I find out more information I will let you know! Have a wonderfully happy day! amie sue

How to Clean and Care for Your Dehydrator

 Members Only, Dehydration - what you need to know (9 lessons)

This may seem silly to talk about but cleaning and maintaining your equipment is important. These tools help us in our day to day food prep so it’s only fitting to treat them the appreciation that they deserve because let’s face it, they help make us look good when we set the food down before our loved ones.  It is best to clean your dehydrator on a regular basis if you want it to last for years and to be assured that the food you are preparing will be dried in a safe environment.

The fruit’s taste is vaguely similar to pineapple and peach, although much milder without the tartness, as well as creamier and more fragrant, with a texture of slightly over-ripened cantaloupe.

Did you happen to know that there are 2,500 varieties of apples are grown in the United States… 7,500 varieties of apples are grown throughout the world??? Well, shiver me timbers. Why is it that I typically only eat about eight varieties? I need to expand my horizons.
