Malawach Deli Borekas

September 29, 2026 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! I like the idea of deli roll, but I've always felt that the classic deli roll could use some major improvements. These malawach deli borekas include so many improvements over the classic: swap puff pastry for the vastly more delicious malawach dough, cut the deli up so every bite has a bit of everything, and make them in beautiful yet practical single serve units. Trust me, you'll never want to go back to the classic!   If you like this recipe, you'll love my upcoming cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking! Did you know that I share cooking … [Read more...]

Teriyaki Chicken Wontons (or Egg Rolls)

September 23, 2026 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! Ever made something so good, people continued to talk about two and a half years later? That was me with these Teriyaki Chicken Wontons. I actually made them as eggrolls initially, and served them at a party. People still tell me it's their favorite thing I have ever made, so you know it's pretty memorable! I made the same filling into wontons, for more of a finger-food vibe, but it's your choice - wonton or eggroll - the important thing is how incredibly delicious they are! Thank you to Western Kosher for sponsoring this recipe!  If you … [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! My favorite kind of shabbos lunch appetizer to serve is a log of something that I can put on a board and serve with a knife - so everyone can cut the size slice of their choosing.

Loaded Steak Salad

May 11, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

This loaded steak salad is beautiful to present and tasty to eat. 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've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad. In my opinion, the secret that sets a good salad apart from a great one is a TON of textural elements. One crunchy thing is good, but multiple crunches is better. You need chewy, soft, crispy....you get the idea! While I generally like a tossed salad, an arranged platter like this is great for a crowd. It looks beautiful, but it also allows everyone to choose which components … [Read more...]

A vegetarian salad with lots of quinoa and tons of veggies. It's delicious and filling - as you might expect. But then, we have the optional steak.
