Hey there, everyone. Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend full of great food and wonderful company. 🙂
Today, I want to make you aware of some changes coming up this week here at Jamie Cooks It Up! For the past several months I have been working with a wonderful graphic designer (Pam Bowers of Canvas Sky Graphic Design). She has put together a darling, fun, clean new look for the blog that I love and am excited to share with you. More importantly than a new look, she has developed a new Recipe Index page that should make it much easier for you all to find recipes on my site. There will also be a new and improved search bar! Thank you for your patience with the current search bar. The thing is a hunk of junk, to put it plainly. I can’t wait to get it out of here and have the new and improved version up and running. Out with the old, bring on the new.
Here is what you need to know for this weeks posting.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will post a new recipe as usual.
Friday, the new design will be up front and center. However, there will be no new post until Monday. All of the recipes will still be here for your viewing pleasure (none of them are going anywhere) and the site is expected to continue running while we work (you will still be able to access the recipes), but things might look a little bit goofy while everything gets put into its proper place. If you know that you will be needing a specific recipe after Wednesday, it may be a good idea to print it off to it is readily available when you need it, just in case it becomes difficult to access it while things are being shuffled around. I will be working hard through the weekend making sure everything gets organized and put in order. I am crossing my fingers and toes that all goes well! Everything should be up and running in a much improved way by the beginning of next week.
Monday, I will post a blog tour to show you all of the new features. 🙂
Next Tuesday I will have my Monthly Menu plan for you all, after that I will be back to my regular posting schedule.
Thank you in advance for your patience. I am really hoping these changes make the recipes much easier for you to access. That is my first and foremost concern. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support you have given to me and this little old blog of mine. Thanks for coming here and making this food. 🙂 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Have a great week!
Ya! Can’t wait to see the new look! Spring is a great time for new beginnings! We enjoyed the Coconut Cream Cake over the weekend – new family favorite! And with the cold spell we’ve had we enjoyed the Beef Tips with noodles yesterday! Love your site! Thanks for all your hard work!

Can’t wait!!!
You’re going to be very busy this weekend. I hope the family with be cooking dinner for you. Love your recipes. You are my #1 go to website for recipes! Thank you for all your hard work.
Can’t wait to see the new recipe index and design of the website. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Yay – so excited to see your new look! I made up a double-batch of your creamy baked macaroni and cheese for our memorial day block party. Since the weather was a little cloudy and chilly, I opted for warm comfort food rather than chilled pasta and boy, was it a hit!! I’ve been told by nearly all the neighbors that regardless of weather, I will be expected to make this for our 4th of July and Labor Day get-togethers as well. Another tried and true recipe thanks to you 🙂
Love your site and can’t wait to see the new one. You would not believe how many of your recipes have become my favorites. So glad you will still have a site.
I giggled when I saw this on FB we haven’t had a mcrvowaie for about a year. Ours broke and we never got around to replacing it. When we had the cash we were so used to doing without it, so ta-da. We only missed it the first few weeks.
WOW it’s exciting to hear about the upcoming changes. I know they will be beneficial to all of your fans. Your recipes and postings are wonderful. We will gladly be patient while “the works in process”. Certainly are looking forward to the next week and each one thereafter:)
I do so love your recipes….and I am looking forward to your updated improvements. I am sure it will be great, a big thank you for helping all of us out here in la la land.m
Looking forward to seeing all the new changes! 🙂
Thanks for your awesome blog!
