I go away for a week, and my husband buys a dehydrator!!! Now, some of you may not be too excited about that, but I was going to start dropping hints for next birthday (many months away) to get one. Turns out, all you need is a daughter who is ga-ga over dried fruit and a Daddy who's daughter is the 'apple of his eye' (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).
So, we enter a new dimension. Not only are we able to dehydrate a whack (that's a lot) of fresh, in-season fruit but we can now make raw crackers and breads, and a multitude of other great things.
Today, it's all about the fruit.
Menu:
Brown Rice, Black Bean & Sweet Pepper Stir Fry
Baby Cukes
Dried Apples & Pineapple
Banana
First, the EXCALIBUR!!!

Now the rest. I sifted through the weekend's left-overs and found the brown rice and black beans. Put some olive oil in a pan, with a shallot (caramelized), then sweet peppers. Med-high heat until softened. Then added in the rice and beans to reheat. Simple, quick and tasty.
