Mushroom and Garlic Quinoa is an easy side dish that will make you love eating healthy! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Let's talk about New Year's resolutions for a minute. There's an old joke that you wish someone "may your troubles last only as long as your new year's resolutions." So if you're finished with eating healthy, and you're looking for some really decadent recipes...well, I totally get you. Dieting. Is. Hard. (You can browse through the archives for some not-so-healthy recipes, I won't judge.) But for those of you who're looking to eat healthy, and are always looking for fast and … [Read more...]

Mexican Skillet Chicken is an easy and delicious one-pot meal!

Mongolian Beef + Secret Restaurant Recipes Review and Giveaway!

December 3, 2014 by overtimecook 391 Comments

 Mongolian Beef is an easy and delicious restaurant style dish that you can make at home thanks to a great new cookbook, Secret Restaurant Recipes. I'm so excited to bring you an in-depth review of this amazing new book: Secret Restaurant Recipes by Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek - and I'm giving one lucky reader a chance to win their own copy! Scroll down past the review and recipe for the giveaway.  Years ago, when Leah Schapira and I were just getting to know each other, one of our first conversations ever was about getting restaurant recipes. I told her that a local pizza shop makes a great techinah sauce - and she told me to beg for the recipe. And ever since then, I knew she has … [Read more...]

Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes

January 13, 2013 by overtimecook 22 Comments

Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes are an easy, delicious and family-friendly side dish. If there was ever a time that I was going to post an almost non existent recipe, it's today. I finally wrapped up the first of two Purim features I'm doing for my magazine job, and I'm as closed to burnt out as it gets. It's pretty weird, because the recipes I'm featuring are some of the most creative I've ever done. And then the packaging ideas are another important aspect of the article, and they kinda have to be really creative too. Couple that with doing photo shoots for all of them and basically my creativity (and energy!) tanks are on empty. I'm exhausted. I want to sleep for a week. But no, … [Read more...]

Creamy Basil Dip

August 15, 2012 by overtimecook 22 Comments

Tonight's post is going to be a short one, mostly because I spent the night writing up my next magazine column, and I am all written out. Also, I was sick in bed today with a cold, so I don't have much energy for writing, but I wanted to share this amazing recipe with you while there's still fresh basil in the grocery stores. My family loves dill dip, but I can't stand dill (shocking, right?) so I decided to make a dip out of my favorite herb instead. Enter creamy basil dip. Remember how I love basil? Well this is like pesto on steroids. Delicious. Dip your veggies in this, spread it on a cracker, or use it as a salad dressing. Either way, you can't go wrong. Creamy Basil … [Read more...]
