Recipe Needed Alert: Lomo Saltado
June 14, 2011 | 
Author We recently had a visitor with us via Rotary Group Study Exchange — she was delightful, and we all learned a lot about each other and our respective cultures and countries (and she learned about outlet malls, muhahaha) but anyhow, it reminded me of one of my favorite dishes — lomo saltado. This is a combination of beef cooked in a special way, rice, and, well, french fries.
However, all I have for recipes are those I find in various Google searches. If you have one you’ve tried, that you really really like, please post it here, and I’ll give it a go (and post pictures, steps, etc.) …
Help a hungry brother out…

Changes coming…
… I’m getting a bit tired of the look and feel of our theme, so over the next week or so there may be some changes. Please let me know if it’s just too horrid for words, or if something is broken, or the like, and I will get it fixed. In the meantime, there may be occasions when you’ll see a very different looking FoodNuts! that will change yet again as I hone in on our new look and feel.
Happy New Year!

Trader Joe’s Wine Notes Blog
Just found a new friend on Twitter, who has recently started up a new blog to give us Trader Joe’s Wine Notes. Hopefully we can talk ‘em into crossposting here at FoodNuts — in the meantime, enjoy this fun new site.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays, from FoodNuts!
I’d like to take a moment and wish our whole community a Merry Christmas (or other holiday, as appropriate) as we head for the end of the year.
I’d also like to thank each and every one of you who’ve shared your foodie experiences, recipes, reviews, etc. with us during the past year. This has been a great adventure, and I see even bigger things for us in 2011. And a hearty thank you to those who have shared this site with friends, family, and others!
Have a safe and happy New Year — together, we will continue our adventure as Food Nuts, sharing food, fun and friendship!

The Twinkie Diet
Surprise, surprise, surprise… actually, not a surprise at all: It’s not what you eat, but how much of it, that really matters in weight-loss attempts. For the past couple of months, I have been (without a schedule, or counting, or getting stressed) lowering how much food I eat — and so far, I’m down about 15 pounds.
Now there’s a story out of a nutritionist who did basically the same thing, except he completely switched his diet to junk food, while watching the calories – and lost 27 pounds in ten weeks. Here’s the story.
Mayor Bloomberg is probably not going to be pleased.
