The easiest dinner you'll make: Sheet Pan Green Beans and Turkey! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! This recipe was an ultimate food blogger win. What does that mean? Well, it didn't start out intending to be a blog recipe. It didn't even start out as anything, tbh. It all started when I was hungry, and needed to cook dinner really quickly. But I was also tired, and feeling lazy, so going to the store wasn't in the cards. I didn't have much in the house, but I dug through my fridge and came up with a package of green beans. I looked a little more, and came up with a chunk of turkey breast. Well, I … [Read more...]
Spicy Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables
Spicy Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables is a healthy and hearty comfort food dinner! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Ah, fall. That glorious time of year when it's cool, but not too cold. When the days are starting to get shorter, but not too short. When the leaves are turning all kinds of glorious colors, when hot tea and lattes take the place of iced coffee and slushies. Personally, fall is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it - the weather, the food, everything! And the fact that it's post sukkos, a time to try and eat healthier doesn't mean I can't enjoy hearty, fall … [Read more...]

Broccoli and Quinoa Salad with Asian Vinaigrette
So I know that we've discussed the crazy sources of my recipes a few times before, but we should probably discuss it again today. The idea for this recipe struck late one night. And by late, I don't mean my usual 1-am-still-baking-cookies late. I mean almost asleep kind of late. And for those of you who know me...that's late! So I opened up one eye, opened up the notes app on my iphone, and typed "quinoa + broccoli salad." And it's been in the back of my brain ever since. At first, I was going to go with a traditional broccoli salad type dressing, but with added quinoa. Then I decided to take the flavors in a different direction. I settled on an asian-inspired dressing, and I am thrilled … [Read more...]
Pastrami Stuffed Shells with Honey Mustard Onion Sauce
Pastrami Stuffed Shells with Honey Mustard Onion Sauce are unique, full of flavor, and a guaranteed hit! I feel like this dish should have been created ages before it was. Stuffed shells are a total staple of my cooking repertoire. I've done dairy stuffed shells, made with a cheesy filling. I've done meat stuffed shells with a ground meat filling. I've added vegetables to give it a healthy twist, and played around with spices. And suddenly when my sister and I were planning our recent holiday meals, another type of stuffed shells hit me. Why not stuff the shells with a delicious pastrami filling? And instead of the classic tomato sauce to bake it in, I knew I'd pare this with … [Read more...]
Chicken in Mushroom Sauce
I've been saving this recipe for ages. Why, you ask? Well, I don't really know. It's one of my favorite recipes to make, it's totally versatile, it's a meal in a pot, it's gluten free and healthy...do I need to go on? I was going to post this forever-ago, then I got side tracked with stuff like purim and I kinda forgot about this recipe. Then I cooked it for supper tonight (it's simmering on my stove right now and it smells amazing and I was all oh. I never posted this recipe. And then I realized how passover friendly this recipe is, and I knew it was going to have to get featured. Regarding passover (who gets all stressed out when I start discussing Passover? Just me?), this recipe's … [Read more...]
Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers are baked, not fried, but still perfectly moist! Today's post is going to be short, but I won't apologize. Mostly because I feel like I've been doing that far too often lately. I'm busy. You all know that. And I think many of you are very busy this week, with Purim coming and whatnot. So the good news is that I have a great dish to share today. These chicken fingers are super fun, they're easy to make, and they are a nice change for anyone looking to switch things up a bit.

Asian Chicken Salad with Peanut Vinaigrette
So who's planning to start the year with some healthy eating? You too? Well I guess we're all in the same boat here. Good news, I've got the most delicious salad I've ever made to share with you today. Y'know how some people say that diet food doesn't taste good? Well. That isn't true. And I'm going to prove it to you as soon as you taste this salad. Let's first step back so I can tell you what it's like to live in my head. It was about 2 in the morning and I was finally drifting off to sleep. Sadly for me, this is the time of day when I often have my best ideas. (Does this happen to anyone else?!) So there I am in bed, and I have this super cool idea. What would happen, I wonder, if I … [Read more...]
