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.

Holy comments! Yay lulu gift cards and welcome back :)
I could only buy 1/2 a pair of pants there with $50 but at least it would help!!!!
Their clothes are amazing.
Glad you’re alive :)
thanks for the giveaway :)
Glad to hear that all is running smoothly now. Love the new header!
I would love to win the Lululemon gift card! Love your new header and your blog as always!
I’m glad I wasn’t affected by the cache settings – would’ve delayed me trying out your pumpkin spiced doughnuts!
I adore lululemon!
I don’t care if it’s shallow, but half the reason I kept running (I only started a few months ago) was so I could reward myself with new clothes.. And now I’ll be running my first 10K next month!
Sooo Sweet! Love Lulu and one is set to open up close to me here is AZ soon!
Holy, the toffee bars look amazing! Too bad I don’t have any nuts!
Yay, Lululemon!
Love the new banner and the idea of changing it up with the seasons. :D
Love Lululemon! I also love your blog!
Oh, you have NO idea what an amazing birthday present that giftcard would be for my Mum, who is yoga OBSESSED!
Best giveaway ever!
love you blog long time all time.
you INSPIRE!!!
Love your recipes! <3
I am moving in with a girlfriend tomorrow and plan to make every recipe of yours to turn her to the other side — now we just have to see if it will work..
I was one of the lucky ones without any website issues, I never thought you were dead lol. I am a long-time reader but have never commented. Your site is very entertaining and gives me plenty of ideas to play with!
I was just ‘window shopping’ on Lulu.com today – this would be awesome to win!!
I can’t wait until morning to try your Zucchini Bread Oatmeal! Making the same thing for breakfast every day can get old very fast. I’m so excited to try this new recipe!
Fortunately my daily dose of OSG has been going fine, glad its all fixed now though!
