Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

October 2, 2022 by overtimecook 1 Comment

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. So rather than give them up, I’ve learned to savory these foods up by adding things like onion, garlic, and in the case of these new favorite soup, leeks! If you’re looking for a phenomenal change from your classic butternut squash soup, … [Read more...]

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.

World’s Best Healthy Oatmeal Protein Cookies

April 23, 2013 by overtimecook 24 Comments

Hey friends. I haven't been posting much lately, but I blame that on a combination of a humongous magazine deadline and serious dieting. I'm finally done with my deadline, so I figured I'd share one of my greatest diet recipe triumphs ever. Ok, so I know that diet and cookies don't seem to belong in the same sentence. And in most cases I'm inclined to agree. But sometimes even a serious dieter needs a treat, and if you're going for a treat, this is a less guilt inducing option than most cookies. There's a secret ingredient in these cookies that gives them a phenomenal texture and an added bit of protein. Don't let it scare you off though, because these cookies taste dee-lish-us. Healthy … [Read more...]

Dijon Roasted Broccoli

May 30, 2012 by overtimecook 18 Comments

Have you ever read something that was so ludicrous, so insane, so out of place, that you read and re-read it before you were able to figure out that you aren't the crazy one? If you have never had the pleasure of encountering something quite this hilariously crazy, let me tell you about what happened to me last week. It's started out pretty normal. A request for a quote came to my company, it landed on my desk. I briefly noticed that it wasn't from a customer I recognized, so I stuck it on the back of my pile of work. I finally got to this quote request, and started to read a list of items. Before we go forward, I'd like to note, for those who don't know this yet, that I sell electronics. … [Read more...]
