Twas the Monday after Christmas and all thru the house not a burger was consumed–not never, no how!

Apple, Blueberry, Peach Preserves
What? Why? How?!!! What to do with an abundance of fresh fruit at their peak of ripeness?… Can it! No, not trash it… Can it, as in preserve it. Yes, imagine 6 yummy 1/2 pint jars of summer goodness in the chill of winter… Mmmm. 🙂 It’s fairly cool during the summer at 8000′ elevation…

Dehydrated Cinnamon Apple Crisps: a healthy alternative for snacking on-the-go
Mimi has been dehydrating fruits and veggies since I was teenager. Although I never appreciated the benefits of dehydrated noms back then, I’ve since turned over a new leaf. Next week I celebrate my 3 year “Healthy Me” Anniversary. After thirty-some-odd years of fast food bingeing, and eating candy bars for lunch I quit processed…
