Dehydrated and it feels so gooooood!

I received a dehydrator for my Birthday a couple months ago (Nesco Snackmaster) and I finally used it today.  I got some beautiful sweet red peppers on sale so I thought they would be perfect to try out.  I usually buy dried red bell peppers but this is going to be way cheaper and healthier!  And surprise surprise, SUCCESS!!!

I am going to break/chop them up and keep them in an airtight container.  I love these added to things like tuna and potato salads for a pop of sweet color.

Another breakfast of champions...

...to offset my potato chip, popcorn and bread obsession.

For the asparagus I sauteed it in a little butter and olive oil then pourer in a few Tbs of water and juice from half a small lemon (uncovered).  I let the liquid reduce down as the steam finished cooking the asparagus.  I also make my chicken breasts this way now (except I cover the pan after adding the liquid since chicken takes longer to cook).  You get a great lemon brown butter sauce from this method.  Add the creamy egg yolk and fresh parmesan cheese and it really makes it a decadent breakfast.

Oh and by the way, asparagus is on sale finally, I love this time of year:)

Happy March 1st!!!
