I recieved a food dehydrator for a gift recently. Can you ladies and gents think of anything atkins friendly that would be good in the dehydrator?

Beef Jerky

I vote for the beef jerky! That's mostly what I use mine for !

Tomatoes come out great. Try other veggeis, too. And the ever-popular jerky. You can use any ground meat, it doesn't have to be beef. Variety is the spice of Atkins!

:nono OH NO, not "ground" meat...yuck! Sorry, I've had it made from ground meat and it was sooo nasty!

Here's a recent thread with pictures on how to make jerky and how to slice the meat.
