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.

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...]

Welcome to episode 2 of my new series, Dinner Roulette: You Vote, I Cook! This week, my instagram followers chose: Beef Stew Meat Mushrooms Sweet Potatoes  Cooked in the oven This was a fun challenge! I was going to dice up the sweet potatoes and cook them in the same dish as the meat and mushrooms, but then I thought it would be more satisfying if the sweet potatoes were a separate vehicle for the meat. I also wanted to cook it all at the same time, so I slow roasted the sweet potatoes, then smashed them, then roasted them … [Read more...]
