Jerky has become a frequent snack for those on low carb diets, but it can be expensive to buy at the store. Do not spend money on commercial jerky full of preservatives. Jerky is easy to make at home and you can control what goes into it. You can use a dehydrator, oven, or even microwave to dry a variety of meat, seafood, poultry, and even vegetable jerky. Try Blue Ribbon Jerky, Teriyaki Beef Jerky, or one of the many other jerky recipes.

I’m a big fan of custom flavored beef jerky as well as using meats other than beef. One of the advantages for making your own homemade beef jerky is being able to have as much or as little as you want without racking up huge bills.
