A look at Grove Court in NYC where my grandfather once lived.

Green Chile and Zucchini Quiche
Green Chile and Zucchini Quiche This quiche gets its heat from canned chiles. But if you have a little more time, you should lose the canned chiles and make the recipe instead with roasted fresh poblanos, which are even more delicious. I like the contrasting crunch of Triscuits, but just…

I have been in Italy for the past two weeks filming season 12 of Sara’s Weeknight Meals. We shot in Rome, Naples and Parma. Pasta, pizza, pasta, pizza, cheese, prosciutto, excellent espresso and cappuccino. It does not get much better than that!!! The new season will air starting in October.…
