Flourless Chocolate Banana Muffins

April 15, 2016 by overtimecook 9 Comments

These Flourless Chocolate Banana Muffins are so good, you won't believe they're kosher for passover and gluten free!    Today's post is going to be short, but I think these muffins really speak for themselves, don't you? My philosophy about pesach recipes, especially desserts, is to focus on the ingredients you do have, rather than be stumped by recipes that you don't have. In this recipe, I've used two baking ingredients that are totally kosher for passover, banana and chocolate, to make a delicious flourless, gluten-free muffins that you're going to love! Enjoy these for a passover breakfast, or top them with a dollop of chocolate mousse for a beautiful pesach dessert. … [Read more...]

Crispiest Home Fries Recipe

April 12, 2016 by overtimecook 9 Comments

Whether you're looking for a delicious breakfast or a quick-and-easy side dish, this Crispiest Home Fries Recipe is going to hit the spot! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! This recipe is long overdue. And by that, I mean at least a year. It definitely started on Pesach, I'm just not sure if it was last year or the year before. Anyway, let me explain. In our kitchen, every pesach, we always try to keep on hand two things that are at the base of many pesach recipes: fried onions and boiled potatoes. (Side note: this is a great tip. Keep both of those around at all times to make your cooking easier.) … [Read more...]

Lightened Up Cappuccino Cheese Muffins

June 1, 2014 by overtimecook 24 Comments

Lightened Up Cappuccino Cheese Muffins are a great treat for people watching their weight! I know, I know. The last couple of weeks of this blog have been filled with one decadent treat after another. Each one has been a diet killer in its own right. "So what about the dieters?", you ask. "What's a poor soul to do if s/he isn't eating cheesecake, ice cream trifle, cheesecake mousse, delicious cookies, and all those other treats? Good news friend's. I feel for you. No really, I might be cooking, baking and photographing all sorts of fattening treats, but I've been dieting hard. Really hard. Like, one bite to make sure the cheesecake is good. We're in this together. And that's why I made … [Read more...]

Nespresso VertuoLine Review: The Best Cup of Coffee I Ever Had

May 26, 2014 by overtimecook 7 Comments

Nespresso VertuoLine review: it makes perfectly delicious coffee at the press of one button! You know that blissful moment when the first cup of coffee touches your lips? Yeah, I live for that moment. A couple of days ago, just at "that" moment, I exclaimed, "wow, my coffee is so good today!" I thought for a few seconds, then I amended my statement. "Well, actually, it's amazing every morning...ever since I got my Nespresso machine!" Image courtesy of Nespresso Before I go any further, I am going to be really clear here. The awesome folks at Nespresso have sent me a machine free of charge, for a review. It was particularly exciting, because this is a machine I've had my eye on for … [Read more...]

Lemon Sticky Buns

April 23, 2014 by overtimecook 4 Comments

A bright and fresh twist on a classic favorite, Lemon Sticky Buns are the perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.  Whew. We made it. We're safely on the other side of Passover. Another year, another week of meat, chicken, eggs and potatoes. Admittedly, I'm ready to buckle down on the diet and kinda avoid desserts right now, so if you're with me there, you might not want to keep reading. Seriously. When I think of the ultimate non-passover dessert, it's gotta have yeast in it. Pesach is a time of no yeast, right? So real proper chometz has gotta be a fluffy, yeasty delight. Now, you might remember that Cinnamon Buns are my all-time favorite, ultimate weakness. Doesn't matter what … [Read more...]

Healthy Apple Spice Muffins

December 24, 2013 by overtimecook 19 Comments

Healthy apple spice muffins are so delicious, you will forget that they are good for you! I'm going to make a confession right now. You'd think that being on a diet and trying to eat delicious food that's still healthy, I would be coming up with all kinds of delicious new recipes to share with you. But sadly, that is just not the way it's been going. I am trying to make plenty of healthy food in minimum time, and I find myself lacking time, inspiration and motivation to play. I find myself turning to all of my old favorites, instead of creating new and exciting recipes. Don't worry, I'll get my creativity back soon. In the meantime, I decided to share one of my favorite healthy muffin … [Read more...]

Maple Pumpkin Granola

November 7, 2013 by overtimecook 8 Comments

There are certain foods which I seem to forget about for a while, then I remember them suddenly. And as I eat said food, I kick myself as I wonder why I don't make it more often. Like, every day, for example. My Spicy Baked Zucchini Sticks are a perfect example of this. They are among the most popular recipes on this blog, and for very good reason. And I often forget that I've got such a delicious and easy recipe in my repertoire. Then I make them, and I get all confused as to why I haven't been making them daily since the day I came up with the recipe. Well, it turns out that homemade granola is another such example. I've made homemade granola plenty of times in the past, and totally … [Read more...]

Speculoos (Biscoff) Biscotti

July 31, 2013 by overtimecook 15 Comments

A trendy cookie like speculoos or biscoff combines perfectly with a traditional treat like biscotti. Intrigued? Read on! If you follow me on various social media platforms, you may have seen that I was just on vacation. And now I am not. Needless to say, I am not happy about that. I want to be at the beach, not in my kitchen waiting for cookies to cool, anticipating another long day of work tomorrow. But that's life. Some things, like the beach, are awesome. Some things aren't. Take, for example, my cookies and cream biscotti recipe. The recipe? Awesome. The pictures? Not so much. The result? Nobody really noticed them. Which is a darn shame, because trust me, they were of the don't … [Read more...]

Blueberry Muffin Cookies

July 3, 2013 by overtimecook 27 Comments

If you've been reading my blog and/or magazine column for a while, you might have noticed that I like to do things a little differently. Here's an example. People love blueberry muffins. I have to say, I do too. And people even like a healthy version of blueberry muffins. I have to say, I find them to be a fabulous treat for my dieting self. But sometimes, I like to turn things on their heads. Make a completely different version of a classic. (Remember my S'mores Surprise Cookies, Rice Krispy Treat Bark, and other fun treats?) These cookies are a good example of this. Sure, I would have just made blueberry muffins, but where's the fun in that? So instead, I created blueberry muffin cookies. … [Read more...]

Healthy Blueberry Muffins

February 6, 2013 by overtimecook 27 Comments

Can we talk about names for a minute? I have a pet peeve. I know, my name is somewhat unusual. Okay, in the Orthodox Jewish world, Miriam is about as common of a name as you get, but in the general world, Miriam isn't very common. It's okay, I run with it. But here's the thing. Nobody can seem to get my name right. People call me at work, and I introduce myself as Miriam. "Did you say Maya?" I used to correct them, but I learned better. Just go with it. "That's right. Mary Anne." "Yes, I did say Maria." I don't bother, people don't get it either way. So the first part of my pet peeve is people who get my name wrong, then proceed to use it way too many times in the course of our … [Read more...]
