My kids love dried banana chips. Fresh bananas do not get eaten up very fast here, but banana chips do not last very long. And they are so easy to make yourself. Much, much cheaper than buying them at the store.First get out your trusty dehydrator. Blow off the dust if you need to. (This is an old one that my mom did not want anymore. This dehydrator would be an excellent one to use!) Next get your bananas ready….
I haven’t been posting so much because I have been busy learning! I am trying to learn more about canning, prepping, and to some extent candle-making.

I follow some of the preppers shown on the show through YouTube…

What if you lost power? Would you want to worry about not having the dishes done? Do you want to boil water so you can wash dishes by hand? Keeping the dishes washed makes sense. One less thing to worry about. No I don’t…
This recipe is from quickandsimple.com. I found it when I was looking for more recipes that used ground turkey and a crockpot. If you don’t use ground turkey, I would encourage you to try it.
