September 15, 2016 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Holiday cooking made easy: 26 freezer friendly mains! How many of you are starting to plan for holiday cooking? I don't mean to stress anyone out (quite the opposite!) but there are a gazillion and a half holiday meals coming up, so it's wise to plan ahead.

Today, I'm going to complete your menu planning with a whole bunch of really delicious, freezer-friendly mains! Before we start, let me give you a little insight into my personal menu planning and prep. I usually start with desserts - I like to get them out of the way since almost all of them freeze nicely.

September 7, 2016 by overtimecook 36 Comments

Cinnamon Bun Pie is a delicious and family-friendly dessert that's a lot easier than the original!  Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group. Ok, okay. I know. September just started and it's not even officially fall yet for another couple of weeks. But I can't help it. It was 70 degrees and rainy today, which means I'm totally going into fall mode. Goodbye peaches, hello apples. Goodbye beaches, hello pretty colorful leaves. And mostly, hello cinnamon buns. See, here's the thing about cinnamon buns. They're my ultimate weakness. Serious, can't resist kind of weakness. But the other thing about them? Well, I don't … [Read more...]

Spicy Baked Curly Carrot Fries

September 2, 2016 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Spicy Baked Curly Carrot Fries are a simple, easy, healthy and totally yummy side dish....with an extra dash of fun!  Raise your hand if you have nostalgic feelings toward those curly frozen french fries of your childhood. You too? I remember them fondly, and used them as an inspiration for this recipe. But then I made them healthier by using carrots, and made them tastier by adding a delicious blend of spices. But we kept the fun, nostalgic look, because who doesn't love that! I made this recipe special for my blogging buddy Chanie of Busy in Brooklyn fame, to give her some time off to spend with her gorgeous new baby girl. So head on over to Busy in Brooklyn to get this … [Read more...]

Grilled Corn, Peach, and Spinach Salad is a fantastic celebration of summer flavors - with sweet, savory and even smokey!  Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Every now and then, a recipe kinda changes me. Take my Grilled Corn and Pastrami Salad for example. Until I made that salad, I liked corn salad in any form. Fresh corn, canned corn, frozen corn - it was all good! But then I grilled corn for a salad, and I can't ever go back! Whenever I think about making a corn salad of any kind, I automatically decide to grill it. The grilling process lends this smokey flavor to the corn, and adds a depth of flavor that … [Read more...]
