ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your past blog posts and I like your idea to be vegetarian a couple days a week, we can do that!
Also, congrats on your weight loss so far! Way to go!
These look delicious, especially the chocolate ones. (I'm a chocolate nut who is trying to give up sugar...) I don't have a dehydrator, but I live in a soon to be very hot, dry climate. I wonder if I could set them outside when it is over 110 under a screen...
ReplyDeleteI have heard of people dehydrated outside in hot weather. I think it could work. You could also maybe do them in an oven, but I don't know if you would want an oven on for that long...
