The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group. Click here to join the conversation. I've always had a love/hate relationship with summer's stone fruits. On one hand, who doesn't love a good peach? Or plum. Or nectarine. Etc. They're sweet and juicy and just make people happy. So what's the hate all about? I just wish they would be less...finicky. In the autumn, I can buy a bag of apples and keep them in my fridge for (what feels like) months without anything going wrong. Summer fruit, however, doesn't keep that … [Read more...]

I like to eat them. I like to bake them. But if we're all being honest with ourselves, muffins are really just another excuse to eat cake. Granted, muffins mean there's built in portion control, so I guess that's healthier. But overall, in the famous words of Jim Gaffigan, "muffins are just bald … [Read more...]

Oh, and we should probably talk about which recipes everyone … [Read more...]
