How to Dehydrate Lemons

by Toni Herrbach

So, after juicing over 67 pounds of lemons I still had a bunch left over. I read somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where) that you can dehydrate lemons and they will last for a long time.

Washing Potatoes in Bulk

by Toni Herrbach

I mentioned this last year, but it is such a good tip I thought I would mention it again. With Christmas right around the corner, many of us will be processing 10 to 20 pounds of potatoes. A fast and easy way to clean all those potatoes at once is to put them on the top rack of your dishwasher and run a quick rinse cycle. The potatoes are clean and you aren't taking up valuable sink space in ...
