(and it all worked out well) Last year our garden was crazy and we canned a bunch of pasta sauce. For the trip, we dumped a jar onto the dehydrator and then put it in a food processor to make dried, shredded pasta sauce. It rehydrated wonderfully and we had amazing spaghetti 2 nights. Another new attempt was a dessert. We had a bunch of berries this spring and rhubarb. We sliced and dehydrated blueberries (which take forever) strawberries, apples, and rhubarb. We also brought a small ziplock of oats mixed with cinnamon and spices and a mini container of sugar. We used a big of crisco block to hold the "streusel" part together and rehydrated the berry mix with water and sugar. Turned out to be a very tasty dessert. Pizza made on tortillas was our last, not-so-daring new item. I bought tomato paste in a toothpaste tube type container, pre-cooked bacon, and one of the cylindrical containers of 3-cheese mix. (used with pasta above too) Medium size fire, tortilla, tomato paste, cheese and bacon and rotate on the fire grate for about 6 to 10 min.
