Roasted Peach Pound Cake is the summery cake that will allow you to make the most of summer's bounty! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group. Click here to join the conversation. I've always had a love/hate relationship with summer's stone fruits. On one hand, who doesn't love a good peach? Or plum. Or nectarine. Etc. They're sweet and juicy and just make people happy. So what's the hate all about? I just wish they would be less...finicky. In the autumn, I can buy a bag of apples and keep them in my fridge for (what feels like) months without anything going wrong. Summer fruit, however, doesn't keep that … [Read more...]
S’mores Frappe
This S'mores Frappe is a delicious and refreshing drink that's better and cheaper than the coffee shops! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group Just last night, I was talking to my friend about a problem I have. While I enjoy going out to eat and trying new restaurants (if you're following me on Instagram you already know that!), there are certain categories of foods and drinks that I really can't order. The reason? I make it so much better myself. For example, paninis. I make delicious paninis myself, they're super quick and easy to make, and to be honest? Many restaurants just don't do a great job of … [Read more...]

Grilled Corn, Peach and Spinach Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Grilled Corn, Peach, and Spinach Salad is a fantastic celebration of summer flavors - with sweet, savory and even smokey! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Every now and then, a recipe kinda changes me. Take my Grilled Corn and Pastrami Salad for example. Until I made that salad, I liked corn salad in any form. Fresh corn, canned corn, frozen corn - it was all good! But then I grilled corn for a salad, and I can't ever go back! Whenever I think about making a corn salad of any kind, I automatically decide to grill it. The grilling process lends this smokey flavor to the corn, and adds a depth of flavor … [Read more...]

Homemade Mango Lemonade is simple to make and is bursting with seasonal flavors. I'm sorry folks, but I'm just not ready to accept that summer is nearing an end.

So can the apples, the fall spices, the warm fall flavors. Today we can have a tall glass of homemade lemonade, served over ice. Hold on to summer, it's fleeting, but it's still here.
