I’m SO excited to share that Love to be in the Kitchen has a brand-new look!

I’ve wanted to give Love to be in the Kitchen a makeover for quite some time! I am loving the changes! Now I have a fresh, modern, and professional look that is also more functional and easier to navigate. My goal was to make finding recipes you’ll love easier than ever! I hope you all love it too and find it easy to search and find what you are looking for.

I love the beautiful colors, clean layout, and all the little details that make the website feel more like me! Purple is my favorite color, so I’m especially loving that! 💜

My new logo!

I absolutely love my new logo! It’s simple, clean, and has a little touch of personality with the purple heart! Purple is my favorite color, and I love that the heart represents the love I have for cooking, baking, and sharing recipes with all of you! I think it turned out perfect and really feels like me!

A huge thank you to Pixel Me Designs for bringing my vision to life! She did such an amazing job, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! I’m so grateful for all the time and effort she put into making my website exactly what I wanted!

Changes Made

A lot of changes have been made to my website, but here are some of the biggest ones!

• New Homepage Layout: My old homepage focused mostly on my latest recipes, but my new homepage makes it so much easier to find my most popular recipes and reader favorites! You can still see my newest recipes, but now you can also browse by category, find seasonal favorites, and discover recipes you might have missed!
• New Recipe Cards: I switched from Create to WP Recipe Maker, which allows me to customize my recipe cards to better match my new website! Not everything transferred over perfectly, so I’m still working on fixing a few small issues. If you happen to notice anything that doesn’t look right, please let me know!
• Easier Recipe Navigation: I’ve reorganized my recipe categories to make it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for! Whether you need a quick dinner idea, a yummy dessert, or something special for a holiday, it’s easier than ever to browse and find recipes you’ll love!
• New Amazon Storefront: I’ve added an Amazon Storefront where you can find some of my favorite kitchen tools, baking supplies, and other things I use and love! I’m excited to share my favorites with you!
• New Email Newsletter: I’ve switched to Kit for my email newsletters, and I’d love for you to be part of it! I’ll be sharing new recipes, seasonal favorites, and other yummy recipes I think you’ll love! Sign up for my free newsletter so we can stay connected and I can deliver delicious recipes straight to your inbox! 💜

Love to be in the Kitchen 16 years party

This new look comes at the perfect time because I’m also celebrating 16 years of Love to be in the Kitchen this week!

It’s hard to believe I’ve been sharing recipes here for 16 years! What started as a little hobby has turned into something so much bigger! Hundreds of recipes, connecting with you all, and a lot of time spent in my kitchen! haha

To celebrate, I recently had a fun party with friends where we enjoyed some of my favorite recipes from the blog! We had Honey Garlic Meatballs, Dubai Chocolate Brownies, Creamy Coconut Fruit Dip, Soft and Chewy Graham Cracker Cookies, Andes Mint Chocolate Cookie, and more. Yum!

Since my blog is all online, it was especially fun to celebrate in person with friends who have supported me over the years! It was such a special night, and I’m so glad I got to celebrate this milestone with them!
