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, to me, is the ultimate pesach dessert. Sure, it's got a few components to make, BUT - each of them is relatively easy, and they are all pesach staples that you'll find a hundred other uses for!

Maple Pulled Chicken with Cornbread Waffles

October 5, 2025 by overtimecook 3 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! 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...]

Savory Leek Muffins

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'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...]
