I recently purchased a freeze dryer and have had a lot of fun experimenting with it. Today I am drying strawberries to powder for a version of “nestle quick”. My grandchildren love strawberry milk and I can make this with much less sugar (I am using monk fruit for a sweetener) and no preservatives.
A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.

Julie, have fun playing with your new toy. I know your grandkids will like their strawberry drink.

Tara lemon slices do take a long time to dry. I tried it once, now I either dry or freeze lemon zest. Reminds me I need to do another batch or lemon zest. Lemon zest is handy for hot tea, lemon pepper, or herb/spice blends.

Drying sage today. My sage has really taken off so to keep it the right size for its container I pruned it this morning. Love the smell of fresh sage on my hands and in the air.

There was a storm yesterday and wind bent the onion stalks. I plucked a handful and will dry. Dehydrator will go in garage. Sara, my sage is growing well. I may cut a few leaves and dry.

Today I am drying Greek oregano. I let my one container of GO go to flower for the butterflies and bees but so far I haven't seen either. Makes me sad to think about how few b&bs I see these days.
