Vegan “Neatball” Sandwich
by guest blogger Gillian Francella, writer, editor, and newly converted vegan Red-checkered tablecloths, laminated-yet-stained paper menus, and breadbaskets brimming with steamy hot rolls—ah, the classic setting for an East Coast staple: red-sauce Italian. When I was a kid, there were few things my dad would take a break from work for. But the one thing […]
My Mother’s Moist Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Icing
From my mother, I learned how to serve an army. She was constantly having to grab a cake out of the freezer when my father unexpectedly brought business guests home for dinner.

Non-Mayo Coleslaw
It’s picnic and backyard party season, and where there are BBQs and grilled meats, there MUST also be coleslaw (without mayo!).
