I know I was - that's why I came up with this fun and different idea! Its common knowledge that kids love their food on sticks, but don’t think of this as kid food! These super fun appetizers with the punched up flavor from the pastrami are a hit with the grownups as well! If you’re like me and you leave a flame on for Yom Tov, try frying these fresh for something different and so, so good.    Looking for a traditional corndog recipe?

People take the whole "pumpkin spice" thing waaaay too far. I mean I definitely draw the line somewhere before pumpkin spice hummus, but I'm not sure exactly where that line is. The good news though is that pumpkin spice and cinnamon rolls are honestly a match made in dessert heaven, so I sure hope you try them. And hey, I'm sure nobody will complain if you make these all year long! Did you know that I share cooking demos, menu plans, giveaways, and lots more exclusive content on … [Read more...]

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! This is such an old recipe of mine, and still a favorite! I originally published these in my magazine column back in 2012 (yeah, I'm very old!). They were a hit back then, and I decided it's time to give them the spotlight again.  The base of this recipe is a delicious, coffee flavored cookie cup. The whipped cream topping is the icing on the not-so-proverbial cake. It takes these from "yummy cookie" to "wow these look AND taste great!" If you want to keep it simpler, you can skip the topping.    Did you know that … [Read more...]

  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! While you can simply marinate and grill this London broil, I urge you to take the extra few minutes to boil down the marinade into a sauce! You won’t believe how flavorful this dish is, and the sauce is what really takes it over the top! FYI: This will work nicely for other cuts of steak as well, such as oyster steak or strip steak (aka Denver steak).
