Super Bowl Giveaway: California Avocado Gift Box for Guacamole-Making
I use them instead of mayo in ranch dressing. Tasty!

Father's Day Giveaway: Win a Two-Pound Cowboy Chop
Flatiron, please.
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: 'Pig: King of the Southern Table'
Carnitas - -without a doubt. How can you beat pig fried in it's own fat?
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!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia
wrapped around a fig stuffed with goat cheese.
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.

My carnivorous habits - recipes, photos, and reviews
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.
Grilling: Pork Souvlaki with Pita and Tzatziki
Thanks for the recipe! We love kebabs like this.
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?
Your Oldest Cookbook?
My Grandmother's 1942 copy of Woman's Home Companion Cook Book (First, kill the chicken...).
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?
