Implementing better nutritional choices is the challenge once you decide to eat better. Food prep can be intimidating and to some feel like a daunting task. Go ahead and accept that at some point you will screw up; too salty, too bland, mushy, too dry, whatever! We've all done it and making mistakes in the kitchen is a good sign that you're trying! People who make cooking look easy will tell you the best way to learn to prepare your meals is just DO IT!

The best way to ignite change in the kitchen is to invest in a new kitchen tool! The investments helps in the commitment to USE the tool and if you purchase the RIGHT tool you're guaranteed to make food prep easy and even fun.

This post will focus on the kitchen tool winning the prize for SAVES MOST MONEY!

DEHYDRATOR

Trail mix, dried fruit and jerky are not cheap snacks! But taking a few minutes on a Sunday afternoon will save you money and provide a snack which is not only cost effective--but good for you!  Most packaged snacks contain added sugar and preservatives… make your own and avoid the additives!

If you grow your own herbs in the summer, here's a chance to dry them and avoid the expensive little jars of herbs the rest of the year!! You can also dry tomatoes!

  • Suction cups keep the SPAROOLIE tight to the counter
  • The hand crank is fast and smooth
  • There are three blade options. 

How to use it?
Slice up 8-12 large bananas and place the pieces with a small amount of space between them. You can dry apples, mango and even zucchini at the same time on the same tray. We've never noticed taste transfer.  You don't have to fill all four trays provided, but if you're investing the time you might as well load it up!  Additional trays are available for purchase AND the dehydrator comes with a smooth wheel  to smear fruit puree all over---yep, homemade fruit roll ups!





Grab your 20% discount card from Bed Bath and Beyond and the Spiralizer will only set you back about $50!  The first time you use it you'll be blown away by how much your food shrinks!! Follow the directions with your new tool and dry your items the appropriate amount of time.
