I dehydrated ground chuck, tomatoes, apples, apple junk, applesauce, cooked asparagus and beef jerky.  I searched FarmBell and here and didn't find any posts on what to do with the dehydrated foods once dehydrated.  I have ground the apple junk and made oatmeal mix.  KellyB told us that we could grind the tomatoes to add flavoring to soups, etc.  But can anyone post about rehydrating how tos, quantity dehydrated = quantity hydrated, and mixing dehydrated things for possible meals?  I failed (but recovered) just trying to make the oatmeal mix (obviously, I cannot create recipes). Please post your recipes on Farmbell and post a link here.  Thank you so much. 

Go to the grocery store early in the a.m. – about an hour or two after they've opened and you'll find produce that is marked down. Peppers that normally sell for $4 a package (one each, red, green, yellow and orange) were 99cents. Bananas normally 89cents were a whole bag for $1.49. Portabellos normally 2.99 for an 8 oz pkg was 99cents. At least that's what happens here locally. Sometimes they're in a cart by themselves, sometimes placed with like items but have a mark-down sticker on them, sometimes on a special shelf/cart in produce section.
