Loaded Steak Salad

May 11, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

This loaded steak salad is beautiful to present and tasty to eat. Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free!   If you've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad. In my opinion, the secret that sets a good salad apart from a great one is a TON of textural elements. One crunchy thing is good, but multiple crunches is better. You need chewy, soft, crispy....you get the idea! While I generally like a tossed salad, an arranged platter like this is great for a crowd. It looks beautiful, but it also allows everyone to choose which components … [Read more...]

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! If you don't follow me on Instagram, you're missing half of this story. Last night, feeling uninspired, I let my followers vote on my dinner ingredients. Using polls, they chose: Chicken cutlets, broccoli and rice. The obvious choice was to go in an asian direction with it, but I challenged myself to go in a less obvious direction and make something delicious to share with you.  I'm pleased to say, this dinner was an absolute winner. It took about 20 minutes to prepare, and tasted fantastic. I hope you try it, and join @overtimecook on … [Read more...]

Healthy Recipe Roundup

April 9, 2018 by overtimecook 2 Comments

The Ultimate Healthy Recipe Roundup to help with your weight loss and health resolutions! Is there a time of the year, more than these post-pesach days, when people are more focused on eating healthy and paying more attention to their diets? No, I don't think so either. Aside from any over-indulgences we may have enjoyed over the holiday, I think there's also a "fresh start" aspect. Before passover, we clean all the food out of our kitchens. Over the holiday, we buy our pesach food. Then when pesach is over and real life starts again, we need to restock. And now, the choice is ours. Do we stuff our pantries with crackers and cookies and all kinds of junk? Or do we load our shelves up … [Read more...]

Roasted Broccoli and Red Onion

May 10, 2016 by overtimecook 6 Comments

Roasted Broccoli and Red Onions is a quick-and-easy side dish that you'll make over and over again.  Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! It's time for an admission. I'm not a cheap person at all. In fact, I kinda wish I were a bit more cheap from time to time. But this is one of those cases where I thought cheaply, because fresh (checked) broccoli is pretty pricy, while onions....well, they aren't. So I stretched one package of fresh broccoli into a much bigger side dish, (Feel free to add extra onions to the mix!) and in the process, I discovered that red onions are a delicious side kick to the roasted … [Read more...]

The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Wow. Pesach is over and we all survived, right? Let me start by asking you this. What did you guys miss most over Pesach? Me? Ironically enough, not chometz. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I missed popcorn. And cans of diet coke. I know, diet coke is available Kosher for Pesach but... it just isn't the same. (And my family's minhag is not to drink it on pesach. So, yeah. I missed it.) Oh, and we should probably talk about which recipes everyone … [Read more...]
