Maple Pulled Chicken with Cornbread Waffles

October 5, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

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! Waffles are one of my top 3 foods (along with dumplings and popcorn) and if you've only been enjoying waffles in a sweet format, you're missing on some of the best food you could be eating. Chicken and waffles is a famous southern dish, but my version swaps the fried chicken for maple pulled chicken (lighter and easier to prepare), swaps the big sweet waffles for mini cornbread waffles (prettier presentation!) and tops it with just the right toppings for tanginess and crunch!    If you're looking for a dish that will impress … [Read more...]

If you're like me and always looking for a great side dish that you can make ahead and freeze for another time, you are about to be so excited. I was brainstorming ideas that I could make ahead and freeze and came up with these Savory Leek Muffins. You may be thinking that they're basically a kugel, but I think they are more muffin than kugel - there's tons of leek in there, but there's also a really delicious muffin batter that makes these feel like a substantial side dish. I hope you love them as much as we do!   Did you know that I … [Read more...]

Mushroom and Beef Stew over Smashed Caramelized Sweet Potatoes

November 21, 2024 by overtimecook 2 Comments

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! Welcome to episode 2 of my new series, Dinner Roulette: You Vote, I Cook! This week, my instagram followers chose: Beef Stew Meat Mushrooms Sweet Potatoes  Cooked in the oven This was a fun challenge! I was going to dice up the sweet potatoes and cook them in the same dish as the meat and mushrooms, but then I thought it would be more satisfying if the sweet potatoes were a separate vehicle for the meat. I also wanted to cook it all at the same time, so I slow roasted the sweet potatoes, then smashed them, then roasted them … [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! This brisket recipe us for mushroom lovers only. I'm not trying to be a snob or anything, but the magic of this recipe isn't just those flavor bomb mushrooms that cook alongside the brisket, which will make you wonder how it's possible for a simple mushroom to be so intensely rich and decadent.  The real secret of this brisket is the mushroom flavor that seeps into the meat! We all know that mushrooms give off lots of liquid when they cook, right? Well, what if I told you that the mushroom liquid gets absorbed by the meat, making it … [Read more...]
