Click here to sign up. Recently, my husband and I were having a discussion about how my cooking has changed since we got married. I think he was surprised to hear that it had changed, at all. But think about it... would he really know? So how did it change? There are some minor changes, but also a few big ones. One big one is that my husband really does not like bone-in chicken. He'll eat it, but when he does, he definitely prefers white meat. Which is super weird to me because bone-in … [Read more...]

February 8, 2017 by overtimecook 5 Comments

Spicy Marinated Olives are easy to make and totally delicious!  Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group. Click here to join the conversation. The real name of this recipe is "Daddy's World Famous Spicy Marinated Olives." I thought that would be a little long, so I shortened it a bit. But now I need to tell you guys the story behind the title. My father, Harry Pascal, is an amazing cook, and he has certain specialties that he makes all the time. His roasted potatoes, for example, have been nicknamed by guests "serious potatoes" because...well, we don't joke around about those. He makes amazing cholent, … [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...]

Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing

June 17, 2014 by overtimecook 13 Comments

Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing is easy to make and healthy - you'll soon be putting it in/on everything! Y'know what distresses me, as a food blogger? Sometimes I have a recipe that gets buried under the awesomeness of another one. Like, when there's a great cupcake recipe, and then it's dreamy frosting recipe gets buries. Shame, especially because said frosting is totally my favorite chocolate frosting. Ever. And then there was the post with mouthwateringly delicious ribs, but nobody noticed the world's best barbecue sauce that goes with it. Or with other food. Slathered over chicken cutlets on the barbecue grill this summer, for example. Oh, and did I mention my favorite salad dressing in … [Read more...]

Barbecue Beef Ribs with Homemade Mole Barbecue Sauce

April 10, 2014 by overtimecook 12 Comments

There's a secret ingredient in these barbecue beef ribs that makes them the most succulent and tasty ribs you'll ever eat! Allow me to introduce you to my family's favorite holiday dish. Dessert? Nope. It's meat. Ribs, to be precise. No jokes. Not only do I make the best ribs in the world, but my family would probably revolt if I would try not making them for a holiday. Many have you have probably tried my ribs with homemade bourbon barbecue sauce. Smart of you - those are amazing! But bourbon isn't kosher for Passover, so I decided I had to come up with a version that I could make on Pesach. Enter my secret ingredient: cocoa powder. Yes, I am totally serious. With all the Passover … [Read more...]

Grilled Chicken and Portobello Wraps with Garlic Mayo

February 12, 2014 by overtimecook 22 Comments

Grilled Chicken and Portobello Wraps with Garlic Mayo are a healthy supper that's easy to make and delicious to eat! So you might have guessed, based on the (in)frequency of posts lately that I've been crazy busy. Nothing new for me, you say? Well sadly, I've found myself the kind of busy where I am cooking less frequently than usual. And that means...eating or ordering out. Not the best option when you're dieting, but one of the more diet friendly options you can usually find is a grilled chicken wrap. Problem is, no matter how healthy they say it is, you just know there's gonna be hidden calories all over the place, right? Second problem, it's painful to pay a restaurant to … [Read more...]
