My favorite kind of shabbos lunch appetizer to serve is a log of something that I can put on a board and serve with a knife - so everyone can cut the size slice of their choosing. IN addition to the classic deli roll, I love to serve this meat boureka - family style - so everyone can cut their own slice. It looks beautiful and tastes amazing - what's not to love?  Some More Shabbos Lunch Recipes You Might Love:  Chopped Chinese Chicken Salad Loaded Steak Salad Beef Bacon Potato Salad Honey Bourbon Steak Skewers World’s Best … [Read more...]

French Onion Meatballs and Gnocchi

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! If you've been grocery shopping lately, I'm sure you've noticed how high meat prices have gotten lately. So when I'm cooking for shabbos, I try to shop the meat sales. Another thing I do is to is look for ways to elevate ground beef into a Shabbos-worthy dish. And this French Onion Meatballs and Gnocchi dish is exactly that! It may seem like a lot of work to caramelize the onions deeply, but it's really just an hour of mostly hands-off time. And the reward is incredibly tasty onions that flavor this dish in the best way possible!  Did you … [Read more...]

Maple Pulled Chicken with Cornbread Waffles

October 5, 2025 by overtimecook 2 Comments

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! Waffles are one of my top 3 foods (along with dumplings and popcorn) and if you've only been enjoying waffles in a sweet format, you're missing on some of the best food you could be eating. Chicken and waffles is a famous southern dish, but my version swaps the fried chicken for maple pulled chicken (lighter and easier to prepare), swaps the big sweet waffles for mini cornbread waffles (prettier presentation!) and tops it with just the right toppings for tanginess and crunch!    If you're looking for a dish that will impress … [Read more...]

Beef Potstickers Recipe

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free!   Anyone who knows me in real life likely knows my top 3 favorite foods: dumplings, waffles and popcorn. (The order is dependent on the day, but almost always starts with dumplings.) And in my mind, there's simply no better dumpling than potstickers. If you're paying attention, that means that potstickers are my ultimate favorite food.  Honestly, it should be easy to understand why. These are crispy on one side, chewy on the other. They are fun to eat and even fun to make. I am so happy to finally be sharing the recipe with you. … [Read more...]

Loaded Steak Salad

May 11, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

This loaded steak salad is beautiful to present and tasty to eat. Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free!   If you've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad. In my opinion, the secret that sets a good salad apart from a great one is a TON of textural elements. One crunchy thing is good, but multiple crunches is better. You need chewy, soft, crispy....you get the idea! While I generally like a tossed salad, an arranged platter like this is great for a crowd. It looks beautiful, but it also allows everyone to choose which components … [Read more...]
