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!

I guess it doesn’t hurt to try…
The chocolate chip cookie dough glazed doughnuts look amazing =D I LOVE Lululemon!! What a awesome giveaway!
I was referred to your blog by a friend, and I’ve been obsessing over it for the last week! I love everything about it and your recipes all look so delicious. I struggle with self-image so much and your blog has really helped with that. As a first-year university student a lululemon gift card would be my absolute dream come true!! Thanks :)
Ahh! Holy schmokes that a lot of comments. This would be awesome! The only thing I have from lulu is a longsleeve shirt that my sister got for me with all sorts of cool pockets and zippers and is perfect for running in cooler temps. She bought it for me cause she knows I would never spend that money on myself!
And I also like that you reposted those pictures, it allowed me to drool over your food porn some more.
Ah LuLu is one of my very favorite stores!
I have heard SO much about Lululemon and would love to be able to get some of their clothes! I am in desperate need of some new work-out clothes. Thank you for hosting such a generous giveaway!
Love, loveeee Lululemon! Also love your blog!!
My daughter found your blog and through the wonderful food you make convinced me food was still worth eating after I developed a milk intolerance. That Chilled Double Chocolate Torte is the best thing I’ve ever tasted as are so many of your recipes. Thanks for the work you do.
I would love a shot at the lululemon gift card, but I also just wanted to say that i LOVE your new blog header :)
Love your blog! Your story is inspiring.
Oooh…the things I would do to try out some Lulu. Well, I’m far to cheap to spend my own money but I’ll spend freebie money!
I never missed a post, but thanks for the giveaway!
It really is true! They make my mom buns look at leat five years younger!
Ooooo Lulu, I’ve been lurking their products lately and they’re so cute! Loving the new header idea too. I can’t wait for a spring header!
All of those recipes look delicious! And I love lulu too!
I just decided to try a “vegan challenge” for a month, and it hasn’t been nearly as difficult as I expected it to be. You inspire me to keep on going with it, and trying out a batch of your peanut butter cookies didn’t hurt either:)
This would be so amazing to win! My husband keeps telling me that it is time to get some new workout clothes. You and your blog are so inspiring thank you for all the great posts.
Oh that store is so incredible! I love the colors and the customer service. You have a a super cute jacket from lulu that you wore in one of your honey moon pics!
I think the new header looks clean and fresh- I love it! Thanks for the thoughtful giveaway!!
Pick me! Pick me! I’ll need some new workout wear to motivate me to get up and out after eating all those OSG doughnuts! :P
