I will try that too Jeanette!
Glad your lemon peel powder was a hit Sara! |

I tried the dried lemon peel powder in my morning tea and it's milder than a slice of lemon but I enjoyed my tea and will make it again.

Thanks Jeanette for letting us know, I did not know it. If Aldi ever runs out of peeled garlic in a bag I will try it.

Sorry, late to the ball. I learned something new......garlic powder (one blog stated that a big name boxstore that starts with the letter "C") is actually dehydrated garlic skins that are powdered in the blender. I do not throw out the garlic skins anymore and do just that! The powder if finer than dehydrated/powdered garlic cloves and the taste is slightly milder but I am loving the fact that I am not wasting anything. Am I the only one who did not know this?

No, which was nice. Must say the blender made a terrible racket but I did eventually end up with a fine powder. Will try it in tomorrow's morning tea. Only had 6 small lemons so ended up with a scant two ounces of lemon powder. It better be good with all that work I put into it.

Drying lemon rinds to make lemon powder. First time to attempt it. Went online to find how to dry lemons and found a recipe for lemon powder. Will let you know how it turns out.

Doing my last batch of basil right now.... then the last 6 tomatoes will go in the dehydrator for tomato powder.
Lisa: Let us know how the potatoes do. I would love to try that.

I received an extra big bunch of organic parsley in my veggie box last week so I chopped it up, put it on cookie sheets and put it in the car to dry. That worked as well as washing the car to bring on the rain so it's now in the oven with the light on.

Wonder if they used Herbs de Tejas in their special meal prep? |

Posted - Oct 14 2025 : 10:09:41 AM
Have a dab of basil, rosemary, and sweet marigram in the dehydrator. I like to have fun with my herbs so after the herbs are dried, I will ground them in my coffee (herb) grinder to make Herbs de Tejas a play on Herbs de Provence. Tejas was the Spanish name for Texas, from the Tejas Indians that lived alone the Texas coast and were cannibals. Oh, how I do ramble.

Drying sage today, left plenty to cook fresh with my beans. Sage can be strong, so I sauté the fresh sage in EVOO then remove it from the pot before adding one of my canned beans.

I dehydrated mushrooms this weekend. After I composted a brand new package that spoiled, I went and got more so I could dehydrate them and now I will have them on hand.

I've never tried it, but I'm curious to see how it goes. Sounds like it should work, but I think making milk powder sounds like it should work too LOL! Maybe try a small batch first.

Lisa I have not done that. Hope it turns out for you, it should. I did try drying buttermilk once. Well that did not work out for me. lol

So I have a new idea. I was just watching a Jacques Pepin video for potato leek soup and he used potato flakes. I am thinking of cooking potatoes, mashing and dehydrating on silicone sheets then buzzing up in the vitamix like I do annually with pumpkin/squash. Kind of like a dehydrated potato powder.
Has anyone done this? |
