Classic Sage and Sausage Stuffing (or Dressing)

Looks tasty. I'm going to be working with gluten-free bread, so getting the most out of the whole custardy thing is important.

Labor Day Poll: Gas or Charcoal Grill?

Natural lump rocks! With the Big Green Egg I can be up and cooking with natural lump in a less than 20 minutes.

Cook the Book: The Gloriously Gluten-Free Cookbook

We make GF pizza with a polenta crust: Pancetta Polenta Pizza – Meat in a Minor Key.

Just cook up the polenta, spread onto a pizza pan, bake until a little crispy, then add your favorite toppings and bake.

Serious Beer: Gluten Free Options

I've been GF for over a year now. Seeing Alchemist brewery in Vermont take the gold in the World Beer Cup this year with a gluten free beer makes me very happy.

Of the lot that I have available locally, Red Bridge is the best I've run across so far, with Bard's as a serviceable second choice.

Grilling: The Gas vs. Charcoal Debate

A Big Green Egg full of lump charcoal can be ready to grill in 15 minutes, go medium-high for 3-5 hours, or low for 12-14 hours. The flavor is outstanding, the mess minimal.

Cook the Book: Corn Pudding

Made this last night to accompany some pulled pork - Wow! I think I've found my new barbecue side dish.

I did make a few tweaks. I added a can of corn - half of it whole and half blended with the milk until smooth - and a little more red pepper and a teaspoon of barbecue rub to bump up the spice. I forgot the cheese :(, but it was still very rich and creamy.

Thanks for this great recipe!

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio

Never heard of it, but gomasio and salmon sounds like a winner. Thanks!

Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'

Baby back ribs from my Big Green egg - made my last batch rubbed with Dizzy Pig's Dizzy Dust, slow smoked for a little over 5 hours over hickory, and finished with a light coating of Blues Hog BBQ sauce. Served them to friends who are huge soul food/bbq aficionados and they said they were the best ribs they had ever had, period.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: If It Doesn't Have Gluten in It, I'm Eating It

Great post, great perspective.

I'm glad to see you writing for Serious Eats. I've been reading your Gluten-Free Girl blog since I was diagnosed about a year ago. It's my go-to site for not just GF recipes, but for improving my attitude toward food and eating.

While I've found some GF beads and pasta that I like, I've had better luck (and more fun) hunting out new foods that are naturally gluten free. Thanks for reminding me that's there's a whole world of gluten free food out there yet to explore.

This blog is a collection of pics and recipes for some of my recent cooks. A lot of it is about dishes I’ve cooked on our large Big Green Egg ceramic cooker, but there are also a growing number of gluten-free recipes.

Audio of SXSW 'Secrets of Successful Food Blogging' Discussion

Just got done listening - great stuff! There aren't a lot of places to get good advice on food blogging and it's good to hear from folks with a some serious experience.

Blogwatch: Homemade Corn Dogs

Great post. I've got some all-beef dogs from a little local butcher that would do this recipe proud.

Has anyone tried dusting the dogs with a little cornstarch (a la Alton Brown) to get the batter to stick better?

Serious Heat: Ketchups to Set Your Mouth on Fire

I like one part Búfalo Picante Clasica added to one part Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup as a spicy ketchup. It's also great as part of a cocktail sauce.

@RachelDP - I'm also a fan of "Srirachup."

Large-Scale Enticing Food Smells

Driving through Cedar Rapids, IA - both The Quaker Oats plants and the Ralston Purina plant would produce some interesting aromas.

Used to work in a building that had a pizzeria and the elevator shafts would act like chimneys. You could smell the basil and oregano all the time.

Cook the Book: Pork Porterhouse with Pancetta-Dried Cherry Vinaigrette

Sounds very tasty. What part of the pig is the porterhouse chop cut from?
