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.

If you’re looking for a phenomenal change from your classic butternut squash soup, … [Read more...]

I was in Costco, and bought a two pack of salami logs, figuring I would find some way to use the other one. But it … [Read more...]

And obviously, the most visible difference of all is that cupcakes tend to have frosting, and muffins generally … [Read more...]
