These buttery Cranberry Cinnamon and Pecan Shortbread Cookies are incredibly rich and creamy thanks to a special ingredient! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Last week, I introduced my partnership with Rosenbaum Cheese with this incredibly delicious and gourmet version of mac and cheese. That recipe used their goat cheese meunster and goat cheese cheddar, two of their unique cheeses. Today's post will introduce you to my absolute favorite of their cheeses: their Quarks. For those of you unfamiliar with Quark cheese, it's a soft, spreadable, creamy cheese that isn't widely used or available in the … [Read more...]

Ultimate Whole Wheat Challah Recipe

August 31, 2015 by overtimecook 43 Comments

Get ready for Rosh Hashanah or Shabbat with the Ultimate Whole Wheat Challah Recipe. This post is sponsored by Red Star Yeast. Thank you for supporting the brands I love and use in my own kitchen, and that help me continue to share free recipes with you. From the day I started this blog, there's one recipe that I've gotten request after request after request for. And somehow, the time never came to share said recipe. Until today. Let me back-track. When I'm dieting carefully, one of the things I avoid completely is white flour, which means that I've eaten a whole lot of whole wheat bread over the years. After trying numerous kinds, I discovered that most whole wheat bread falls … [Read more...]

Fried Cabbage Wontons

September 30, 2014 by overtimecook 8 Comments

Fried Cabbage Wontons: crunchy on the outside, a savory cabbage filling, and a delicious honey-soy dipping sauce! I first made these a couple of years ago. I don't remember exactly how long it's been, but it was long enough that when I was at my sister's house for Rosh Hashanah, she pulled out a plate of cabbage wontons and mentioned it was my recipe. I was like, what? Then I remembered this delicious appetizer, and knew I had to share it with you guys! Also, my sister said she didn't think I'd mention her if something she served me over the holiday would inspire a post on my blog. Well it did, and here I am. You can all say hi to my sister - who's an excellent hostess but happened to … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Caramel Truffles

March 11, 2014 by overtimecook 10 Comments

Peanut Butter Caramel Truffles are a little taste of heaven! Every now and then, I make something that's so delightful, words fail to describe it. These truffles are a perfect example. I originally made these truffles for a Tzedaka (charity) party. I probably dreamed up this crazy combination at the height of a chocolate craving, but whatever made me do it, they were a smashing success. Just as the party was starting, before much food was even touched, these truffles were gone. That's right, completely gone. All the poor souls who hadn't gotten there fast enough to try one were pretty sad. Needless to day, I needed to share this recipe with you folks. They're a little time consuming … [Read more...]

Amazingly soft and chewy cookies are topped with a luscious creamy topping and fresh fruit - fruit tart cookies! I'm so excited to share this recipe with you!

Then add a layer of fresh fruit, and you have the most beautiful little cookie that's elegant enough for a fancy occasion, yummy enough for any occasion, and of course, perfect for Tu B'shvat! Oh, and … [Read more...]
