Putting the 'Food' back into Jager Foods.com

The Jager Foods website is going to be seeing a second coming of sorts. We've revamped some of the layout, nothing too dramatic, and worked with the layout and content a little more. The header is now easier to read with the wording standing out on a solid back ground rather then a picture.

Content Change. I've been kicking this around for quite awhile now. I wanted to bring the website back to a more food orientated topic. I've used the website as my own personal playground of sorts writing about anything of everything that would interest me at the moment. This isn't really fair to readers who would like a little more consistency rather than whim.

The Easy Recipes for Two series. This idea was the culmination that came from wanting to refocus the website and Silke being an exceptional chef. It only made sense to create content based around our own actual cooking experiences. Individual posts will reflect not only the list of ingredients and step by step instructions but actual feed back on the end product.

The video connection. Silke and I had made a series of videos for the Bottle Lamp website. The videos were made with our little camera and shot in the basement of our house back in Alexandria. The picture quality wasn't the best but it was overshadowed by the quality of the content. This fledgling beginning layed the ground work for later videos that we made. Today we have better quality equipment and also a better understanding of what does and doesn't work when trying to convey a message.

We're hoping that the series leaves people not only with a better sense of how to prepare a certain meal but also help build their confidence while cooking in the kitchen.

Jagerfoods.com top five posts

Jager Foods has been around a lot longer then most people realize. Originally it was started as a company that packaged dry shiitake mushroom soups. The web-site was created in 2007 and after the company dissolved it went on to become a blog site. Now Nick and Silke have created blog posts with topics that cover everything from food to reviews. Carrying on from the tradition of the name, they've incorporated the slogan "Jager Foods for thought". We've compiled a list of the top five blog posts from their site based on traffic and comments left by readers.

#5) Unemployment and Michael Connelly books - How Nick survived his unemployment time

#4) No one likes a quitter quite like I do - Silke's attempt to quit smoking

#3) Wasp spray for home protection - Debunking the myth of simple home protection

#2) Easy Cheesy Lasagna - Nick's secret recipe

#1) Is the Keurig still hot this Christmas? - The must have item on a lot of Christmas lists

With over 60 posts to their credit, Jagerfoods is still going strong. With topics covering: Books, Entertainment, Travel, and a special section that show cases some of Nick's Bottles with Lights, most readers will find something that either entertains or informs. Silke is also a contributing writer for the Definitive Woman Magazine as well as her own blog site Sexy Shoes Expert. Nick has written blogs for HubPages. Jagerfoods can also be found on YouTube where the couple produced a video that explains the process Nick uses to make his bottle lights.

From the Jagerfoods website:
Jager Foods Shiitake Soups were first created in 1985 by Pete and Sue Jager. In 2007 Nick and Silke Jager created an online presence. Unfortunately, a year later we had to stop producing our famous Shiitake soups. However, in the spirit of good food and the love to read, write and travel the website lives on.
