©iStockPhoto/rojoimages This July 4th the weather forecast is predicting sunny skies all day in my area, so you'll find me basking in the warmth and chowing down on some summer classics. Here's my proposal for a good times menu complete with ribs and rosé! What's on your July 4th menu? Pineapple-Braised Ribs with Honey-Garlic Tomato Glaze: "Succulent, retaining their smokiness while adding a layer of depth with the sweetness from the pineapple braise." The only problem when contributor Josh Bousel made them was that they were gone too fast! As long as I get my six rib share, I'll be happy. Fresh Corn Salad: Corn salad is my favorite side dish when eating outdoors and it makes for a great...

Photograph from bec.w on Flickr Tomorrow is a really big day for math dorks and pie appreciators alike. Pi Day comes but once a year, celebrating over one trillion digits past the decimal point and people who just need another excuse to eat butter. Last year, Ed rounded up some of the best pie sources in America, and as to be expected, the Serious Eaters chirped up with other favorites. Note: Pi Day on March 14 should not be confused with the American Pie Council's Pie Day on January 23. Both involve happy tummies.

Cupcake Project Hamantashen cupcakes aren't just cupcakes topped with a hamantashen. Stef of Cupcake Project explains that, like the cookie, the cupcakes are also triangle-shaped, have a sugar cookie flavor, and filled with jam—and then they're topped with a hamantashen. Cookie-topped cake? I like the sound of that. (Stef also shares a recipe for making hamantashen.) [via Cupcakes Take the Cake] Related: How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?...

Photograph from joshmt on Flickr I had never heard of a king cake until my roommate's parents sent her one from their home in New Orleans this past week. Although I didn't get the full experience (and nobody got the traditional baby in the cake because the bakery packaged the tiny plastic effigy separately), she did bring me home a slice of the green and purple sugar-coated pastry. Even after four days of sitting in her office, the cake maintained its moisture so I happily dug in. It had a briochelike texture and flavor and the inside was spiced like coffee cake, a nice surprise as it wasn't too sweet but was perfect for a breakfast treat. There are...

From left: Lincoln Cake from bakinghistory.wordpress.com; Abraham Lincoln. When you think of Abraham Lincoln, who would have celebrated his bicentennial this week, do you think of pound cake? This vintage recipe for Lincoln Cake found on the blog Baking History was first published in The Godey’s Lady’s Book Receipts and Household Hints in 1870 to honor the sixteenth president. The lemon pound cake doesn't have any overt Lincoln qualities, but sure looks tasty. [via Frederick Kaufman]...

Try your luck, and if you win, you'll be eating some crazy good food this new year. When winter draws near, I start thinking about sausage. (Actually, I think about sausage year-round.) About the best, juiciest, meatiest, just-smoky-enough sausage I know is the sausage the Bracewell family makes and serves at their phenomenal Texas barbecue joint the Southside Market. The Bracewells are a generously spirited bunch, so they've given us ten pound packages of their incomparable sausage to give away as part of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway. Win and you can have your very own Texas barbecue sausage...
