Happy 2016, Recipe Fans! I apologize for my tardiness in posting this recipe: This was my offering for our Quaker Christmas potluck nearly a month ago, and I think I led some folks to believe that I’d put up the recipe a fair sight sooner than this… So what we’ve got here is a recipe … Read more
A new recipe! I don’t think I’ve ever tried to make something quite like this before, and I’m glad I tried this out. This recipe turned out better than I had hoped, and I certainly won’t hesitate to make it again. I adapted my recipe below from a recipe by Angela Louise Miller that I … Read more
Daikon “Steaks.” This is another instance in which I’ve had a notion of a recipe rattling around in the back of my head for a while … and finally, I have a chance to put it up on our website. So for all of you out there who have been wondering how one could possibly … Read more
Ah, muffins! Nature’s perfect food… I had a fancy to see if I could make a sweet potato muffin using grated raw sweet potato in the style of a zucchini muffin …. and it turns out you can. These were the breakfast offering here at Chez Streit for the first morning of November, and they … Read more

Also, it’s kinda cool that there’s no sugar in this recipe, but I swear they taste sweet. These are refrigerator pickles, so they should last about a year in the fridge. If you pressure … Read more
