It's been a while since I found a letter about who I can be that I wrote to myself for a school project. Maybe 10 years ago or more. Essentially, I told myself not to give up when it gets hard.
But I've since misplaced that letter. This is the only part I remember most while working on creating a new food idea.

Many people would complain that the zucchini would go bad, so I started dehydrating it and jarred it for anyone who needed some assistance with their zucchini “problem.” |

Preparing a flat to be made from Organic berries with a banana for texture |
I let this project die. It was just going to be unbelievably costly to even get a business going. But it was fun with the 4oz bags of dried organic fruit and the fruit flats made of only strawberry or raspberry or kale and then a banana. No apple as I notices the fruit roll ups everywhere used apple as their 1st ingredient. I even have a great dehydrator. Maybe I should have named it. It might have helped me to stick to this.
I did go through a small incubator program here in Chicago and got my food handlers license and did some sampling at the Glenwood farmers market.
So, took a while but today I posted some pics and who knows maybe I will name my dehydrator.
For now it’s stored away wait for more food to be dehydrated.
