Eggs are one of my favorite quick dinner ingredients and I often turn the day upside down by having breakfast for dinner. Savory Waffles Benedict is perfect and perfectly filling. So is my take on the classic Spaghetti with Bacon, Eggs and Toasted Bread Crumbs.

Featured Recipes

Goan Wild Striped Bass Curry

This recipe from noted Indian Chef Chef Floyd Cardoz is from his native Goa. See it on Episode 707 of "Sara's Weeknight Meals."

Dried Apple and Cheddar Strudel

Inspired by my Grandmother, Ruth Moulton, this is a variation of an old New England tradition of serving apple pie with a slice of Cheddar cheese.

Waffles Eggs Benedict

This variation of the classic Eggs Benedict features creamed spinach and bacon with the poached egg. Double the bacon and egg for a heartier dinner.

Peruvian Spiced Chicken Thighs

In Episode 704 of "Sara's Weeknight Meals" this family meal creates the basis for a second weeknight meal.

Sal's Meatballs

Philadelphia chef, Marc Vetri, brings a bold, new sensibility to classic Italian cooking. This dish is based on his father's recipe.

Butternut Squash Lasagne

This is a delicious alternative to the classic meat-and-tomato-sauce lasagne. Roasting the squash caramelizes it and concentrates its flavor.

Fresh Ginger Gingerbread

When I had to cook a dish for a large fund-raising event my good friend Jean Anderson gave me her recipe for this gingerbread made with fresh ginger.

Slow Roasted Spiced Baby Back Ribs

When I covered the huge annual barbecue cook-off in Memphis for "Cooking Live", I learned that the one thing on which all the cooks agreed was "cook them slow and low."

Vermont Apple Crisp with Maple Sauce

The key to the delicious flavor of this fall dessert is Grade B maple syrup which is more intense than the readily available Grade A.

Brown and Wild Rice Bowl with Broccoli Pesto and Wild Mushrooms

Choose vegetable broth or water and this becomes an elegant vegetarian entree.

Aunt Alice's Blueberry Muffins

One bite of these muffins and I’m transported back in time to my childhood visits with Aunt Alice, Uncle Pat, and my cousins in Maine.

Pasta with Pesto, String Beans, and Potatoes

Guest Chef Giuseppe Fanelli makes this easy dish with a traditional basil pesto, string beans, potatoes, and pasta.
