Getting involved with FoodNuts!

I’ve had some recent inquiries about what is required, etc., to become an author here at Foodnuts.com. Well, there aren’t any requirements. We’re looking for regular folks who want to share their experiences with food, wine, travel, and more with our small but growing community.

No, we don’t want folks to post every day; in fact, WordPress allows you, if you have more than one post, to schedule them for release off into the future.

We also don’t necessarily want commercial posts, although links to other blogs, or products you believe in, are fine as long as they aren’t blatant money-making efforts on the part of the author.

We encourage food bloggers to cross-post here, with links back to their blogs; everyone wins when there’s extra linkage.

We have a Facebook page where we post links back to Foodnuts.com; we have also set up a tumblr page for FoodNuts that automatically posts your material to that site without intervention.

Just about the only hard-and-fast rule we have is that the authors refrain from discussions of politics and the like. We’re a widely diverse group of folks, with many different beliefs when it comes to politics — and we’ve found that avoiding the topic here altogether has been a very good idea.

If you’d like to join us, sign up as a subscriber, then drop an email to me at m.denny AT foodnuts.com and I’ll change your access level to “Author”. Welcome aboard!

Word of the day: Veloute

Bacon Cupcakes?

First it’s cookies, now bacon has invaded the realm of cupcakes. Apparently, however, there’s a bit of controversy on which Wilmington, NC cupcakery first developed this tasty little number. But there it is, regardless.

A Peasant’s Feast : Nourishing Food On A Budget

A new e-course, from the author of “thenourishinggourmet.com” is starting on June 28th.

Alice Waters, Michael Pollan, Jamie Oliver, Sally Fallon and others are bringing us a new perspective on how we as a nation should eat. Local, fresh ingredients sustainably raised are key parts to their message. They believe that everyone deserves to eat well and they think that you deserve to eat real food instead of fast food and prepackaged convenience foods. However, they aren’t the ones who pay your grocery bills and have to cook on your schedule.

Eating real food sounds great, right? But how do we fit it into our daily life? We want real food, but we also have real life schedules and budgets. We want to eat healthier foods, but aren’t sure where to start. And isn’t real food just for the rich? Grass fed beef, free range chicken and organic produce can be expensive! How does one afford it on a normal budget? My ecourse is aimed at showing you how to eat real food on a realistic budget.

Timpano!

Since I am a bad man and have yet to post our FoodNuts! Timpano celebration (from New Year’s Eve), I thought at the least we could post this video:
