Pecan Pie Topped Mini Fudge Brownie Pies

November 18, 2012 by overtimecook 28 Comments

Let's talk about decisions, shall we? I don't know about you, but I for one, hate making them. I'm talking about literally the smallest decisions there are. Like in the ice cream store when they ask if I want chocolate, vanilla or mixed. Um, so I know I don't want plain vanilla; my love of chocolate is just too strong. But as between chocolate or mixed...I don't know! How should I decide? And when the decisions get bigger, oy. Don't get me started. I hate decisions. That's why this dessert is so darn awesome! Say you just finished a humongous meal, like, the biggest one of the year. It's time for dessert, and you don't have much room. Imagine choosing between a fudgey chocolatey dessert … [Read more...]

Cinnamon Sugar Scones and a review and giveaway of Mini Treats and Handheld Sweets

November 8, 2012 by overtimecook 128 Comments

Giveaway Closed! I'm so excited to be reviewing a new cookbook today. Not just any book, but one that I'm totally nuts over. No jokes. I think the author, Abigail Dodge is my soul sister, because how perfectly me is a cookbook called "Mini Treats and Handheld Sweets?" Not only it it a cookbook full of glorious desserts, but they're mini, and pretty much every recipe in this book is right up my alley. Lets discuss this, shall we? At a First Glance: My first reaction when flipping through this book was "ohmygosh I want to make everything." The book is a treasure trove of delicious recipes that are either totally out of the box, or a brand new twist on an old favorite. (Why make carrot … [Read more...]

Golden Crunch Pudding Cookies

October 28, 2012 by overtimecook 23 Comments

I am sitting here trying to think of something to say about these cookies, but I can't think of anything other than "Sandy." No, these cookies aren't sandy thankyouverymuch but there's this monster hurricane AKA Frankenstorm heading right towards the east coast. Her name is Sandy. And I have to say, if we are gonna get hit by a monster storm that'll turn our lives upside down for a bit, I feel like she should have had a more dramatic name. Hortensia, for example. But either way, Sandy is headed here, and my prep involves charging my new iPhone (oh, did I forget to tell you guys that I finally got my iPhone 5? Yeah. It's awesome.), charging my new lap top, charging my camera batteries, my … [Read more...]

Homemade Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Frosting

October 15, 2012 by overtimecook 46 Comments

Who wants to talk about my favorite thing in the world? Wait, let's back up. Y'know how I'm always talking about how I bake all these insanely delicious treats without tasting them, because my life is basically one crazy long diet? Well. I always says that I can totally resist eating my treats when dieting. I also say that there's one treat that I just can't resist. Which brings us right back to my favorite thing in the entire world. So when I took a little dieting break for the holidays, it suddenly occurred to me. Duh. I can make my favorite treat in the world without torturing myself by not eating any. So I made them. Cinnamon Buns. With cream cheese frosting frosting slathered … [Read more...]

Confetti Cookies

October 4, 2012 by overtimecook 10 Comments

Why am I always writing blog posts at 2:30 in the morning? Oh, right. It's because I'm always cooking until about then. Anywho. Let's talk Yankees. I know, there was a political debate of sorts last night (tonight? This gets so confusing.) but I wasn't paying much attention because hello! The Yankees won the eastern division! Finally, right? Who's ready for post season baseball? I know I am. Wait. I think I meant to discuss cookies. Must be the hour, I guess. Well, let's get to it. This post is in honor of my friend from work, R. She loved these cookies the first time I brought them to work, and has been talking about them ever since. I hadn't written the recipe down at that point, so I … [Read more...]

Mini Chocolate Pomegranate Bundt Cakes with Pomegranate Glaze

September 16, 2012 by overtimecook 30 Comments

Before we talk about the recipe I'm posting tonight, can we discuss the most amazing thing that happened? Two weeks ago, I published a recipe in the Ami magazine for a butterscotch bundt cake. I've been writing the column for more than half a year now, and have gotten some nice feedback before, but I was completely unprepared for this. Emails poured in from all over the world. People had made my cake and loved it, people who wanted to make my cake and had questions, and people who just plain love my column. My ego is still a little swollen, so bear with me because I'm still bragging. Turns out, the cake was popular enough to cause butterscotch chip shortages in Kosher grocery stores all … [Read more...]

Lemon Glazed Honey Cookies

September 12, 2012 by overtimecook 30 Comments

I just realized how brief my posts have been lately. I mean, I've tried really hard to post recipes, but I've been posting just a line or two about said recipes, and somewhere in the delusion section of my brain, I've convinced myself that I've got this huge and adoring fan base that likes to read my rambling thoughts and random useless observations. Yeah. So I feel like I've disappointed my fans. And by fans I obviously mean my mother and the other lady who sits in her office who like to stalk my foodgawker profile. Ahem. So I've disappointed you (and now we've established who "you" is) with my lack of writing. So I'm gonna write now. Partly because I'm on the train and reception is bad, … [Read more...]

Reverse Chocolate Chip Cookies

August 22, 2012 by overtimecook 15 Comments

Anyone reading this who's been a reader for any length of time will know that I love to bake, and more specifically, to experiment and have fun with all kinds of fun recipes. From recent recipes like S'mores Cheesecake and Zebra Bundt Cake, to older but still fun recipes like  Pretzel Coated Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cheese Swirled Chocolate Fudge Cake, I try to share fun and unique recipes with you folks. But sometimes I like to share some more basic recipes. Things like Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies and Blueberry Muffins may not be unique or different, but I definitely think they are recipes worth sharing. Today's recipe is more along the lines of the basic, staple type recipes. It's not … [Read more...]

S’mores Cheesecake

August 12, 2012 by overtimecook 30 Comments

Today was liberating for me. I think I always felt that something exciting such as a cheesecake needed to be made for some kind of occasion. A family get-together, a holiday, some friends coming over, or just a regular Shabbos (Sabbath) meal. Don't worry, that hasn't stopped me from making some delicious cheesecakes in the past. I know what you're thinking. This gal makes so many different kinds of desserts, they can't all be for a special occasion. Well, they aren't. But somehow, some desserts seem fancier than others, and I always felt they needed an occasion.   And that's why today was liberating. I didn't make this cheesecake because of any special occasion. I didn't make this … [Read more...]

Chocolate Cupcakes and a First Blogiversary Giveaway

August 7, 2012 by overtimecook 134 Comments

        Giveaway Closed!  See here for the winner   I've been thinking about today a lot, but I can't believe it actually came. It was one year ago that I published my first ever recipe. I know that most bloggers follow up on that statement with "I am so embarrassed of that post" or "I can't believe how far I have come since then!" or "it was totally on a whim that I started my blog!" But I am not going to say any of that. Sure, I think I have come pretty far since I wrote and photographed that recipe, but I am proud of that post, just as I am proud of every post I have up on this blog. This blog wasn't started on a whim, it was the result of weeks of planning … [Read more...]
