Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? It’s full of recipes, kitchen tips, menus and more! Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I’ve discussed this before, whenever I publish recipes using veggies that are often thought of as sweet, such as sweet potato, butternut squash, or other winter squashes. Ever since I got married, I’ve had trouble cooking these items because my husband does not enjoy sweet elements to his savory foods.

March 3, 2013 by overtimecook 283 Comments

I know that nobody really wants to think about the imminent arrival of the Passover holiday, but face it, friends. Passover is coming.

Passover Made Easy is a brand new book, written by the fabulous duo of Leah Schapira (or Fresh & Easy fame) and Victoria Dweck, food editor of a number of top kosher magazines, including the one I write for. The book is a project of CookKosher.Com, and actually features about a third of the recipes by a number of the members, myself included! Leah and Victoria took the recipes, … [Read more...]

Baked Butternut Squash Fries

November 17, 2011 by overtimecook 11 Comments

While the majority of my job involves sales, I work on sales on a corporate level, so it's also a matter of building relationships with people, keeping customers happy, and other aspects of customer care. And while my company has a very loyal base of happy and completely satisfied customers, we are human, and like every company there's glitches that pop up and issues that happen and customers that get upset. And it's my job to deal with those unhappy people. And if an unhappy customer who spent a hundred dollars is a problem, you can imagine that an unhappy customer who spent a hundred thousand dollars is about a thousand times more of a problem. But it happens. And we deal with it. And … [Read more...]
