Why zucchini chips are the packable healthy snack
My love for zucchini chips started while my wife and I were doing a Whole30 cleanse. Our main goal was to reduce our dependence on sugar, but it also meant that I couldn’t eat some of my salty favorites like corn chips. It’s a shame because you can consume some salsas and guacamoles while on Whole30 but corn chips are a no-go. So I started searching for a corn chip substitute, and I landed on zucchini chips.
Zucchini chips are amazing by themselves or when used as a vessel for dips. But they’re
also, lightweight, which makes them a great snack when hiking, backpacking or wanting to sneak a treat into Disney World. Don’t feel like you have to be on Whole30 or going Paleo to eat them

When people get a dehydrator, they often think of two things. Beef Jerky and dehydrated fruit. But there are a lot of cool things you can do with a dehydrator that can be great on a camping trip or even during a natural disaster.
Living near the Gulf Coast, we have a constant eye on the tropics each summer. A hurricane, like Katrina, could leave us with no refrigeration for weeks. Whenever we approach peak hurricane season, I like to dehydrate some ground beef. Having meat on hand that you don’t have to refrigerate can be a lifesaver. Here’s my recipe for dehydrated ground beef.
