December 31, 2013 by overtimecook 7 Comments

As the year ends, let's look back at the Top Posts of 2013! I know, I know. It's a little cliche. But it's the last day of 2013 and I couldn't help myself - I enjoyed looking through my stats from the last year, seeing what was popular with y'all. So I figured...maybe some of you would like to see too? Plus, there are some great posts some of you might have missed. So I sorted my top posts into three categories: most popular by views, most popular by feedback, and my personal favorites! So have a look around, discover your new favorites, and enjoy! Top Ten Most Viewed Posts: 1) Healthy Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes - These pancakes are the most popular recipe almost every day here on … [Read more...]

Roasted Green Beans with Onion Garlic

December 26, 2013 by overtimecook 18 Comments

Roasted Green Beans are a delicious side dish that's perfect for someone who's eating healthy! You know how I said in my last post that I find myself eating lots of the same foods, turning to old favorites, and keeping my food under my new diet pretty simple? Well then I started to think to myself...maybe some of these old favorites are simple, but who's to say y'all wouldn't enjoy some of these recipes? Well I took an informal poll on Instagram and Facebook, asking if you folks were interested in the recipe for these roasted green beans. Turns out, lots of you wanted it! So tonight I am sharing one of my favorite veggie recipes. And by that I mean, this is how my mother always … [Read more...]

Healthy Apple Spice Muffins

December 24, 2013 by overtimecook 19 Comments

Healthy apple spice muffins are so delicious, you will forget that they are good for you! I'm going to make a confession right now. You'd think that being on a diet and trying to eat delicious food that's still healthy, I would be coming up with all kinds of delicious new recipes to share with you. But sadly, that is just not the way it's been going. I am trying to make plenty of healthy food in minimum time, and I find myself lacking time, inspiration and motivation to play. I find myself turning to all of my old favorites, instead of creating new and exciting recipes. Don't worry, I'll get my creativity back soon. In the meantime, I decided to share one of my favorite healthy muffin … [Read more...]

DIY Cookie Jars are so easy and make a great gift! Read on for instructions!

Sweet and Spicy Maple Roasted Pecans

December 16, 2013 by overtimecook 8 Comments

These Sweet and Spicy Maple Roasted Pecans have just the right blend of flavors to keep you coming back for more! Can we talk about addictive foods? Some foods, like chocolate, are always high up there on my "I need that" list. Ice cream is on that list too. Cookies also. But when you think of foods that make it really hard for you to stop after one or two, what do you think of? Many of us think of chips. Potato chips, corn chips...mmm. Definitely don't like to stop after just one of those! But for me, the most addictive - and I mean don't-stop-till-they-are-gone addictive food is nuts. And more specifically, pecans. And even more specifically, these sweet and spicy maple roasted … [Read more...]

Nutella Crunch Cookies

December 11, 2013 by overtimecook 8 Comments

Nutella crunch cookies combine all of the best things about chocolate and cookies in one delicious bite! I know, I just posted about my new diet, and now I am posting cookies. It's a tough and confusing life I lead, but I sure am glad to have you join me for the ride! Now, let's talk cookies. Wait, first, let's talk about my total obsession with Nutella. A friend of mine with a nut-allergic kid complained to me about my nutella obsession recently, but I just can't help myself. The stuff is delicious. Plus we all know that cookies are delicious. What do you get when you combine the two? Well, let's put it this way: not something you want around when you're on a diet! These cookies are … [Read more...]

Wild rice pilaf is a healthy and flavorful side dish that's really easy to make! Whew. Last day of chanukah. It's been awesome, but I, for one, have had my share of fried foods. And parties. And fattening food. I'm ready for some real food. Some healthy food. Are you? Well if you're looking for something healthier, I've got a delicious new rice dish to share with you.

Recreate a favorite amusement park treat at home with these delicious Mini Funnel Cakes. You won't believe how easy they are! So it appears that there's been an abundance of fried foods on this blog lately. My apologies to the dieters reading this, but you'll have to hang in there for another day or two. It's still Hanukkah and I'm still here with delicious fried treats for you. Don't worry, I'll be back soon with diet stuff. (Groan.) This recipe came about because as a kid who kept kosher, I would stare at the folks walking around the fairs and amusement parks with funnel cakes with a level of envy that I don't really know how to describe. Sure, there were lots of foods that were off … [Read more...]
