Asian Kale Slaw
Asian Kale Slaw is an easy and flavorful salad that's bound to become your new favorite! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a media seminar at Fischer Bros. and Leslie, one of New York's oldest kosher butcher shops. It was interesting to learn about a different time - when small butcher shops, house accounts and personal attention were the norm, not the exception. In today's day and age of mass production, it's nice to visit a place that still does things the old fashioned way - a family owned butcher shop where customers know the staff - and the staff knows … [Read more...]

Grilled Corn and Pastrami Salad
Grilled Corn and Pastrami Salad has an amazing smoky flavor, bringing together all of the best things about summer food! I'm feeling deja vu here. I know, this recipe is brand new, but I really dreamed it up a while ago. In fact, this salad was the original inspiration for this grilled chicken and corn salad. The recipes both started to run together in my head, what with the whole grilled corn (yum!) thing going on, and it's kinda confusing. Especially because my head is pretty confusing as it is, with multiple cookie recipes being formulated at any given point too. But despite the similarities between the recipes, I decided to just go for it and share this one. Mostly because...um, … [Read more...]

Roasted Vegetable Chickpea Salad
***Before we start – have you signed up for my email newsletters? You’ll get new recipes, cooking tips, menu suggestions, kitchen deals – and more! Click here to signup.*** This salad has a long history. Very long. It started about three (maybe four?) years ago when I ate dinner with an excellent cook named Batya. She made a salad with some roasted vegetables and chickpeas, and I absolutely loved it. I went home and copied it, and served it to my sister. My sister loved it, and made it again, for me, when I visited her. Then I forgot about this salad, and I thought my sister did too. Fast forward a couple of years, when I spent the weekend at my sister's house. As I have mentioned … [Read more...]
