It’s full of recipes, kitchen tips, menus and more! Click here to sign up.   Earlier this summer, I shared my recipe for S'mores Cookie Sticks, and while I expected them to be popular, I certainly didn't predict the viral status that they achieved.

And those are just the people who actually reached out! Well, with Rosh Hashanah just a week away, I had honey … [Read more...]

Caramel Apple Granola is the easy and delicious recipe that's perfect for breakfast, snack, dessert, or anytime! Do you receive the Overtime Cook newsletter? It’s full of recipes, kitchen tips and more! Click here to sign up. Here's the thing about homemade granola. I can't think of a single reason not to make it! I mean, let's talk about this.

Now that's what I call a win. This caramel apple granola, if I may brag a little bit, is simply fabulous. It's got those nostalgic flavors of caramel … [Read more...]

Apple and Honey Trifles

September 28, 2016 by overtimecook 4 Comments

Apple and honey trifles are a perfect dessert for Rosh Hashanah, or anytime in the fall!    Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group. I probably discussed this with you guys before, but based on today's recipe, I think I need to repeat it. Obviously, as a professional recipe developer, I work ahead of everyone else's schedules. When you're thinking about Rosh Hashanah, I'm finishing up with sukkos. When you're thinking donuts for chanukah, I'm thinking shalach manos for purim. But sometimes, my ideas don't coincide with the seasons, and I have to hold on to my ideas for a while. Like when it's april and I suddenly … [Read more...]

Braised Chicken with Apples

September 1, 2014 by overtimecook 24 Comments

Braised chicken with apples and sweet potatoes is a meal made in one pot, utilizing the best of fall flavors. Remember how in my last post I said that I simply can't accept that summer is over? Well that's changed. No, it's not because it's labor day as I type this. It's because I've tasted my first new-crop apple. I kind of feel like a broken record here, because this is my fourth(!) fall blogging, and thus my fourth time pointing out how crunchy, juicy, fresh from the tree apples are the best, and probably only, consolation for the end of the summer. But oh, what a consolation they are. Don't get me wrong. Peaches, plums, cherries...they're all great. But nothing like my favorite, … [Read more...]
