Boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cutlets are surely close cousins of the rubber flip-flop. I've dined on many a chewy version in the name of healthful eating, but am always left wishing I had a do-over meal. When properly encased in a crisp coating of flavorful breadcrumbs, however, I will make an exception and pardon the aforementioned offense.

If there's one thing I miss more than anything when it comes to being vegan, it's cheese. Taking a look at Ed's glorious looking eggplant parm sandwich from
Rubirosa last week, my craving almost led me to cheat before I came to my senses. Here's what I came up with to beat that craving. It's a meta-eggplant sandwich even an omnivore can get into.

What's stopping you from using something completely different from eggs to form the base of mayonnaise? Turns out, nothing. By removing the egg and subbing in silken tofu or even roasted eggplant, for example, you get totally vegan mayo.

Nostalgia sells, and Hellmann's, perhaps the king of the mayo brands, is capitalizing on that.

Even Bobby Flay is appearing in Hellmann's ads this holiday season, touting it as an essential part of the Thanksgiving spread, making mashed potatoes mashier and apple-cranberry crisps gooier. Cheeseburger man Kevin Pang of the Chicago Tribune recently called it the underrated condiment and John Kessler of the...

If you can make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and oil, why not make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and rendered animal fat? Introducing meatonnaises: mayos made with beef, bacon, duck, and lamb fats.
