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.

November 24, 2015 by overtimecook 2 Comments

Mini Pumpkin Pie Trifles are a decadent and creamy twist on a classic treat. Do you receive the Overtime Cook newsletter? Full of recipes, kitchen tips and deals and more! Click here to signup. Here's a little secret. I've never had pumpkin pie. Crazy, right? Well. What can I tell you? Growing up, pies were usually fruit based. We'd have apple pie, cherry pie, and others. Occasionally, we'd have pecan pie. But somehow, I never had a slice of pumpkin pie. And because, as an adult, I enjoy creating twists on traditional favorites, I didn't bother with pumpkin pie. Instead, I made Pumpkin Pie Trifle. Are you ready for the next shocker? Here goes: I don't love heavily flavored … [Read more...]

You’ll get new recipes, cooking tips, menu suggestions, kitchen deals  – and more!

Click here to signup.*** When you think about Thanksgiving, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it family? For me it is. I think about family. Specifically, my mother. She was born on Thanksgiving (the story is that my grandmother wasn't sure if she was in labor or had indigestion from too much turkey!) so every year, Thanksgiving means it’s my mother’s birthday celebration. When I was tasked with putting together a delicious new dish for Thanksgiving, I thought of making a dish my mom would - and could - enjoy. In the last few … [Read more...]

Pecan Pie Topped Mini Fudge Brownie Pies

November 18, 2012 by overtimecook 28 Comments

Let's talk about decisions, shall we? I don't know about you, but I for one, hate making them. I'm talking about literally the smallest decisions there are. Like in the ice cream store when they ask if I want chocolate, vanilla or mixed. Um, so I know I don't want plain vanilla; my love of chocolate is just too strong. But as between chocolate or mixed...I don't know! How should I decide? And when the decisions get bigger, oy. Don't get me started. I hate decisions. That's why this dessert is so darn awesome! Say you just finished a humongous meal, like, the biggest one of the year. It's time for dessert, and you don't have much room. Imagine choosing between a fudgey chocolatey dessert … [Read more...]
