Last week, my best friend Allison asked me if everything was ok because she hadn’t seen a blog post from me in a few days and was getting worried.
‘…not that there is anything wrong with you taking a break though!!’, she sweetly added.
Allison is a great friend.
I knew there was a major issue if she wasn’t seeing new blog posts because I hadn’t taken a day off blogging in over a week. I figured she wasn’t the only one having problems, so I asked you guys on Twitter and Facebook and just as I suspected many of you hadn’t seen any new posts since my Thrive post on August 14th. Some of you thought I died. I’m sorry to disappoint. ;)
Eric and I were able to pinpoint the issue to some cache settings in PHP that were changed the same day of my Thrive post. Basically, it was caching entire pages on some of your computers (saving in memory) so new posts wouldn’t appear; however many of you weren’t impacted at all. We removed these changes last week, so hopefully everything is running smoothly now.
I guess I can’t ask you who is still having problems seeing new posts though can I? ;)
Without further ado, In Case You Missed It…
1) Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Spiced Doughnuts
I dusted off my doughnut pans and cranked open my first can of pumpkin, albeit prematurely.
The hit of Eric’s birthday party. I was left with a few scraps!
3) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts
One of the craziest things I’ve ever made.
Stove-top, old fashioned easy cheeze sauce that comes together in minutes flat.
5) High Protein Tortilla Pizzas
I really did intend on saving Eric one…
6) Athens Honeymoon Photography
I’ve got the travel bug and you’re coming with me!
7) Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie
You missed a spot.
Another way to sneak greens into your breakfast without tasting them.
9) Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll & Mango Kale Salad
The beginning of my obsession with Phyllo.
10) Chocolate Chunk Toffee Bars
I made these for Eric when he was suffering from IMS.
11) How To Create Career Happiness FAQ
For a nice follow-up post (and great discussion!), check out this Graduation Fears that I posted a while back.
Out with the old, in with the new. Boy, were there mixed opinions on my header change!
Since many of you weren’t able to see my last Feel Good Tea Giveaway post, I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway today.

[Contest Finished]
Your photography is amazing and the food is to die for!!!!
Oooh, I <3 lululemon! Also, your blog.
I’m enjoying your morning post over a big bowl of pure banana soft serve :) I like Lululemon for how well it keeps its shape and stands up to hundreds of post hot yoga washes. I scour the sale racks whenever I pass one! I bet those doughnuts would freeze well.
LOVE Lululemon! Just wore my snowy owl speed skirt this a.m.
Thanks for re-posting these – what a great collection of recipes! Chocolate Batter Smoothie – WOW – that looks sinfully delicious! :)
Inspired by your recipes! Love your site :)
I just joined the Twitter world and found your blog through a retweet by one of my friends… So glad that I did. Your posts are fantastic :-)
You are amazing Angela! What an awesome giveaway :) And I just read your career happiness post, and was really inspired by it. But since I’m still in college, I’m expecting to go through trial and error before I can find what I really want to do.
Glad you got your tech issues under control! Also I’m looking forward to your fall header. :)
I just received my doughnut pans. Now I need to make your pumpkin doughnuts :).
I love lulu! And I won’t be buying anything for a while since I just bought a condo, so that would giftcard would be nice!
What a great giveaway Angela!! I hope I win!
Oh my goodness…I can’t even afford yoga classes right now, let alone cool yoga clothes. I’d love to win something.
I am making my first trip to Toronto in two weeks and would love to bring a lulu gift card with me to shop!
Fantastic blog! I adore your recipes and your photography is beautiful. Please keep doing what you do; we need all the vegan food blogs we can get!
I’ve got tons of potatoes from my CSA so I’m making those chips tonight!
Thank you for the update! I sure did miss your updates!
I am obsessed with your 5 ingredient cheese sauce!! I am putting it on everything including things you wouldn’t expect to be a vehicle for cheese sauce (like my spoon).
I’d love some new running gear to get me back in the groove after this terrible east coast weather!
I need to make those doughnuts!!! Thanks for offering such a great giveaway, fingers crossed!
