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]
Thanks for having such encouraging, honest, enlightening, and comforting posts. :-D You do so much for so many of us with your blog! Thanks for the Lululemon giveaway – I love that the store near me has free yoga classes on Saturday mornings. So cool! :-D
I heart lululemon. Eating the “back on track” salad for lunch this week! So clean and delicious, its good even if you weren’t off track in the first place!
Lulu is my fav… thanks so much!
Wow, I’m overwhelmed by all the great posts we missed!!!! Would love a new Lulu piece!
First of all I love your blog, your honesty, humor, love and kindness and of course the food!!! I could really use this giveaway, I don’t own any lululemon clothing but I would love to, just never could afford it. I could really use great new fall gear for my outside runs and biking sessions. Thanks!!
I guess I was one of the lucky ones – I didn’t miss a single post.
Man I would have been sk sad if I wasn’t able to read a new post in over a week. Happy the problem was fixed
i’ve been wanting lululemon running shorts for some time now, but i can’t afford to spend that much money on shorts right now . maybe i will finally be able to buy them :)
I’ve been wanting to try some Lulemon stuff! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
imtired of working out in cast off pajamas (my own but still)…Need to up the class factor of this work out thing…
I’ve been able to read all of your posts … whew! Angela, I love reading your posts each day. Keep ’em coming! :-)

The RSS feed didn’t work, but I still faithfully checked your blog. Thanks for the updates though! And I like the header!
ooo pick me pick me! lol.. cannot wait to make cheeze sauce. yum.. oh and i LOVE lulu!
Lulu makes it okay to go from yoga, to the grocery store then out to lunch all in the same outfit – that is, if you didn’t get too sweaty :)
Oooh! yeah new athletic wear would be lovely;)
My wife would love some lulu love. Great recipes.
Would love to get some new yoga pants!
