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. IN addition to the classic deli roll, I love to serve this meat boureka - family style - so everyone can cut their own slice. It looks beautiful and tastes amazing - what's not to love?  Some More Shabbos Lunch Recipes You Might Love:  Chopped Chinese Chicken Salad Loaded Steak Salad Beef Bacon Potato Salad Honey Bourbon Steak Skewers World’s Best … [Read more...]

Are you always looking for easy dinner ideas?  Love lasagna but want an easier way to make it?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Betty Crocker Wrap-Sagna, one of my go-to dairy meals, is the answer for you. I use wraps or flour tortillas in place of lasagna noodles to make a delicious recipe that comes together in minutes.

French Onion Meatballs and Gnocchi

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 grocery shopping lately, I'm sure you've noticed how high meat prices have gotten lately. So when I'm cooking for shabbos, I try to shop the meat sales. Another thing I do is to is look for ways to elevate ground beef into a Shabbos-worthy dish. And this French Onion Meatballs and Gnocchi dish is exactly that! It may seem like a lot of work to caramelize the onions deeply, but it's really just an hour of mostly hands-off time. And the reward is incredibly tasty onions that flavor this dish in the best way possible!  Did 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!   I'm not sure if I should admit this publicly, but I have a ridiculous number of recipes that I have developed and even tested (sometimes even photographed!) and then I never got around to publishing them. It's such a travesty.  Well today I had some overripe bananas and while looking for inspiration to use them, I stumbled across this recipe that I developed way back in 2020. Remember in the early days of the pandemic when the world was obsessed with banana bread? Well I turned banana bread into waffles and then promptly forgot … [Read more...]

Maple Pulled Chicken with Cornbread Waffles

October 5, 2025 by overtimecook 2 Comments

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! Waffles are one of my top 3 foods (along with dumplings and popcorn) and if you've only been enjoying waffles in a sweet format, you're missing on some of the best food you could be eating. Chicken and waffles is a famous southern dish, but my version swaps the fried chicken for maple pulled chicken (lighter and easier to prepare), swaps the big sweet waffles for mini cornbread waffles (prettier presentation!) and tops it with just the right toppings for tanginess and crunch!    If you're looking for a dish that will impress … [Read more...]
