More zucchini relish tomorrow!

Question - anybody ever dehydrated eggs? I'm not so interested in cooking them for human consumption - but if they were delicious I would, lol. I've heard that using them for baking/cooking works pretty well and I read where someone used them for an addition to their dogs food. Might try it.

there are 2 recipes. one is dehydrating scrambled (cooked) eggs and the other is dehydrating them raw. both get ran threw a blender afterwards. we tried cooking them. it was terrible.

Lilac jelly, any jelly I can make I do, my kids eat a lot of bread/toast and jelly

Does it taste like they smell? My lilacs just started blooming and I was thinking of trying some as tea as well.

It doesn't, it has a florally taste but very soft and not like it smells at all. It was my first time making it and I was happy with the results.

Thanks for the warning! I read that they really are nasty to eat as scrambled eggs. The article I read said that if you dehydrate them raw and use them for baking that there's no difference in taste between them and using a fresh egg. I think I'll try that - at least once anyway, lol.
