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.

I love your new header! Your posts weren’t appearing in my reader last week, but I just thought it was something on my end! I’m glad to see that everything’s working again!
Lululemon is the only reason you should spend $50 on running shorts. They were actually the ones that made it ok.
I made both the cheese sauce and the tortilla pizzas this week! Yum.
Love your website and thank you for the great ideas!
Wow! All of these recipes look so good! I can’t wait for my donut pan to arrive so I can try your donuts.
I am working on glowing from the inside out, but it doesn’t hurt to glow from the outside in… with the help of lululemon. Pick me please?
I am craving doughnuts!
My husband is in dental school right now, and is really appreciating all of the healthy and delicious snacks i create by following your recipes. I bought all of the ingredients for the chocolate toffee bars, that’ll be a nice treat and snack for him during the day! Love, two happy campers =)
i love lululemon!
Luckily I had no problems viewing posts. Can’t wait to try the zucchini oatmeal!
I’m currently recovering from a knee injury (I dislocated it – ouch!) so I have a lot of extra time on my hands since I can’t workout. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs and yours is definitely one of my faves!
I’m dropping inches like crazy with my 1/2 training and trying all these amazing recipes! Your red quinoa salad with black beans is my FAVORITE! I made it three times in two weeks. Anyways, with all this I could use some updates to my workout wardrobe. Keep on coming with the recipes and I’ll keep on trying them.
