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...]

Aside from any over-indulgences we may have enjoyed over the holiday, I think there's also a "fresh start" aspect. Before passover, we clean all the food out of our kitchens.

Sheet Pan Green Beans and Turkey
The easiest dinner you'll make: Sheet Pan Green Beans and Turkey! Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! This recipe was an ultimate food blogger win. What does that mean? Well, it didn't start out intending to be a blog recipe. It didn't even start out as anything, tbh.

Well, I didn't … [Read more...]
