Welcome! The Foodies’ Kitchen is closing in on its third year anniversary, and after 500+ posts (already?!) we just couldn’t resist and gave ourselves a Christmas present: a blog makeover! The brand new year will begin with a brand new The Foodies’ Kitchen look.

Our Logo

The history of this new logo is close to our hearts. When we started with The Foodies’ Kitchen, Kristen was just 17 months old. Now at age 4 she is a very important and active part of our kitchens. Kiki, as friends and family call her, loves being in the kitchen… especially helping out with her very own whisk. So, when we decided to brainstorm for the new logo we knew that kitchen tools (the whisk) had to be part of it. Now, our little foodie helps us out more and more every day, to the point that she’s choosing some of our recipes.

Our Site

With this new WordPress theme by elemis, we are bringing you a faster site with less plugins to load, a more efficient search engine (powered by Relevanssi) and a responsive theme – which means that you will be able to look at the full site whether you’re on your desktop/laptop, tablet or phone.

Sharing and Printing

Now, at the end of each post you will find a set of buttons that will let you not only share our posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest, but also email the post and print it right from the site. No extra plugins needed. A better and faster choice for you all around!

Navigation

We also rearranged our menu:

Recipes: We now have a main recipes category, with all the section you already know and love.
Guatemalan Recipes: This is a collection of traditional Guatemalan Recipes or some new recipes with our own Guatemalan twist.
Guest Foodies: Friends of The Foodies’ Kitchen that have contributed with great content to our blog. If you want to be part of our Guest Foodies just drop us an email.
Babies & Kids: A section dedicated to all the recipes that you can share and prepare with your kids. It also includes recipes you can prepare for babies and toddlers.
Foodies’ Wants to Know: Here you will find all of our Monthly Calendar Freebies, Downloadables, Articles, Tips and Tools – all in one place for easy access.

All around, welcome to The Foodies’ Kitchen 2.0 and please let us know how you like it. And, as much as we try to get all the bugs from this new system, if you see something that needs to be taken care of, please let us know.
