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.
In honour of my favourite Canadian athletic store, I’m purchasing a $50 Lululemon gift card and giving it away to one lucky random winner. To enter, simply leave one comment below.
Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
I Love Lulu! I can’t get their stuff to fall apart which is why it is worth every penny. They should advertise on your blog! :)
I love your blog, I love eating vegan, and I love Lululemon!
Oh goodness, I am already drooling over those cinnamon sugar pumpkin spiced donuts. YUM! I’d love a nice running shirt from lulu, I am getting so annoyed by having to fiddle with my old T-shirts!
Thanks for the recipe recap – the doughnuts look divine!!
Fingers crossed to win the gift cert =)
Love your blog and Lululemon :) You rock!!!!!
I just visited my first lulu store this weekend in Chicago! Loved it! The workout pants really do make your butt look fab! I start my day reading Oh She Glows! You are so awesome! Keep up the great work!
I could use some new workout gear! Glad things on the blog are working properly again ;) Thank you for all of your recipe inspiration!
Angela, I love the new seasonal header. I’m glad you worked out the bugs. I’d hate for anyone to miss a post.

I’ve enjoyed starting to follow your posts! Food looks yummy!! :) love lulu also, like many I can’t afford- usually get my workout clothes at target!
I can’t wait to make the Rosemary Olive Oil Chips and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts. Yum! Was looking at lululemon’s website today and I was excited to find that there is a store not too far from me. :D
I’ve been dying to try lululemon and your cinnamon doughnuts. even if i don’t win the giveaway I’ll still have the donuts. :)
I love Lululemon!! I would love to win!
I would love a gift certificate, I received a pair for Lululemon pants for a gift a few months ago, I now basically live in them. I love Lululemon!
Thankfully I was able to see all those posts when they were first published! So sorry you were having problems :)
I just tried your zucchini bread oatmeal this morning. It was perfect for a chilly fall-esque morning!
Awesome giveaway! I was just browsing lulu online this morning, I spend way too much money there.
these donuts look PHENOMENAL! and i love lululemon!
I LOVE lululemon! I am still reading the career post – have had the window up for a few days. I’m taking it in slowly and giving it thought…plus I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday watching Ironman Louisville and Ironman Canada online!
Always wanted to buy some lulu! This would definitely help, since I have a hard time parting with that much cash for clothing :)
Awesome giveaway!! I love clothes that lasts and that I don’t get bored of hehe
