Welcome, Uptowngirl!
My favorite thing to dehydrate are the ‘Juliet’ variety of tomatoes for Sun Dried Tomatoes that I dry with Italian Seasoning on them, then put in ziplock bags and keep in the freezer. We like them on salads, in soups and casseroles, just for snacking, or re-constituted with EVOO for use on pizza or bruschetta.

Beau is a major hunter so we always have TONS of ground meat around here, so making Jerky is a ‘thing’ at our house. I would encourage you to give it a try.
We have a Presto dehydrator that I treated us to a few years ago. LOVE it. #06301

LOL, my dehydrator was a Christmas gift from hubby as a newlywed 1978 . It’s still growing strong. I got a wok too, see where this was going. The way to a man’s heart.......
