Yummy!!

What are you going to do, mom?? What is that??

A dehydrator??











De-li-cious!!

Some time ago, my grandma was talking with one of her cousins about the chicken jerky that I love to eat and about the fact that we can't get it here.
My auntie told my grandma that she had a dehydrator and that maybe it could work for chicken jerky.
Well, yesterday night my auntie came with the machine and today morning my mom went to the supermarket to buy chicken breast. As soon as she came back she wanted to start but... the machine came without instructions! Soooo.... she did what she could and how she thought it was right!
We waited for about 4 hours and it was not easy because it was smelling very good. Finally my chicken jerky was ready!
I tasted it and I liked it a lot.
Next time my mom is going to cut the chicken thicker because the treats are like "chicken chips", which I don't care... they are yummy!

Have a nice day

Hi Lorenza,

Your chicken jerky treats look delicious and unlike those that sell in the pet shop, your version is a lot healthier (without preservatives and other additives).

You might want to experiment with liver. It's very tasty too!

Love,
Homer

Wow, those must be so good. We can almost smell them here:) Mom says she bets your mom can find some instructions if she goes to the website for the manufacturer of that dehydrator. Maybe the box has a web address on it.

Hi Lorenza
What a great idea. We love chicken sticks and I bet mom could save lots of money if she got a food dehydrator.

Frankie Furter and Ernie said...

Lorenza !!! You have a wonderful family. Grandma makes your wardrobe and Auntie thinks of that dehydrator thingy. Lucky Lady
I did not know that OUR dehydrator thingy could do treats for ME. I thought it was only for mom to make those tomato slices in it.
NOW I am going to wake her up and tell her she has to get me some chicken and sweet potatoes and start slicing.
Thank you Thank you for the grrreat idea.

What a great idea to make wholesome and healthy treats!

Joe Stains said...

We have one of those dehydrator machines and Mom always forgets about it. Now I will remind her and ask her to make some delicious jerky for me too!!

Ziggy Stardust said...

Lorenza, I bet that was soooooo good. I am going to get my Mommy to get one of those things. You looked so cute when you were taking the treat, your eyes got real big. You are such a cutie.

Your Mom is soooo SMART - homemade jerky - better keep an eye on Grandpa he's gonna want some jerky too!!!

Just think you'll be able to share with all your friends in the

Oh,nunca habíamos visto un aparato así!! De todos modos aquí no se come el pollo de esa manera. ¿Desecado? ¿Es como cecina? ¿Conoces esta palabra? Aquí es una carne muy fina habitualmente de animales de caza y que se come una vez seca, pero cruda, como el jamón o algo así.

Wow, what a great treat Lorenza!
