Happy Anniversary with Fresh Squeezed Lemonade!

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of The Salted Spoon! I can hardly believe it it's been 2 years already!

Thank you for following, supporting and chatting with me as I journey along in my foodie adventures.

On this special day, I am happy to celebrate a blog I truly enjoy with an ice cold glass of homemade lemonade!

Happy New Year, friends!

2012 is going to be a great year, I can feel it. And to kick the year off in foodie style, I welcome you to The Salted Spoon!

I've been dying to share the new face of my blog with you. What do you think? I think my html-tinkering hubby did a darn good job!

As promised, you will continue to see many similar things from Apron Strings & Foodie Things. There will also be many new things along the way! I'd love to hear what you like and what you'd like more of as we share this virtual meal together.

Thank you for your readership and friendship!

Your readership flatters me. Your comments make me happy. And a forum to express my food obsessions thrills me!

Cheers to you, my foodie friends!

Bottoms up, Kelly

Coming *very* soon...

I've been working hard to make my new blog something special. I cant wait any longer to share it with you...

So, I'm giving a hint about what's to come?

The new name features one of my favorite literary techniques - alliteration. I don't actually know if alliteration is considered a technique. A literary tool, perhaps? Anyhow, the hint is alliteration.

And I'll do one better...the alliteration makes use of the letter "S". Really, that's 2 hints now.

Any guesses?

My new blog launches on January 1st!

10 days...

There's only 10 days until I launch the new face of my blog. I am so excited to share it with you! I hope you will like it as much as I do!

My hubby has been working hard as my bloggy tech-person extraordinaire. Luckily, he accepts payment in the form of delish dinners and sweets.

January 1st is the big day.

Until then, happy holidays my friends!

Cheers, Kelly

Bloggie News

I'm excited to share that I am getting ready to launch the new face of my blog. When I started blogging, I envisioned it in particular one way. Since then, my vision has evolved.

So, there will be a lot of new and exciting changes. But, you will see many of the same things you've (hopefully!) come to love from Apron Strings and Foodie Things.

What will be the same, you ask?
Me! I will continue to be your host.

And I'll continue to post on my 3 main topics:
Kelly's Kitchen - sharing recipes and adventures from my own kitchen
Dine & Dish - restaurant reviews
Foodie Events - the full scoop on fun foodie events

What, then, will be different?
A new name!
An improved layout!
And more to come!

The new blog will launch on January 1st - A good start to the new year!

Thank you for your readership and friendship. And thank you for being a part of my foodie journey!

Cheers!
