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.

Just saw the giveaway (thanks to Twitter!)…and would love to get me something from Lululemon :) Have a great day!
I did my first Lulu purchase this past June and I live in my leggings! Having great work out clothes and feeling sexy makes you push yourself that much more to remain active and inspired! Love you website and your recipes! You introduced me to green monsters and my family thought i was crazy drinking them until I made them try out ! Spread the movement! xx
do i have a chance out of over 2000 comments? i can hope :D
oh la la lululemon is the best.
Oh wow, as a yoga teacher with fraying duds, I’d love to win this one!
Gosh, I’m glad I wasn’t one of those who wasn’t seeing new posts. I would have been most mystified! Lucky you have Eric to hand when these situations arise :)
oh i love lululemon! All that food looks amazing by the way, especially the pizza
I was just at the Canadian border two weeks ago and thought of you and your blog. You are part of my every morning, so thank you for having coffee with me!
I was able to see your posts! I wonder if it has something to do with which browser we use… anyway, glad you and Eric sorted it out!
I will have to try the stuffed phyllo recipe, yum!
Glad you have it all sorted now, there was a time when your posts weren’t showing up but it has been all ok recently! :) Loving the lululemon giveaway! My fingers are firmly crossed!! :)
I got to read your blog posts yay! I’d love to win a gift card to lululemon!
I can’t wait to try the mushroom phyllo recipe. It looks yummy. Also, I love your new header.
Yum, im pretty sure I need to make all of your recent recipes, especially the chocolate cake batter smoothie!
I’m glad the posting issues have been sorted. I love lulu lemon!
Please pick me! Even though I have been lucky enough to have seen all your posts!
Lulu lemon is the best. Thanks for doing the giveaway (and of course all the great recipes).
I’m glad you were able to get all your problems worked out- I’d hate to have been one of the people who missed so many great posts!
Angela,
I have been meeting you write a comment for a long time! You are AMAZING! I just wanted to say that “bad” day are always cured by looking at your blog post and getting motivation from your stories. You have made me love food again, and feel good again. Also, have inspired me to start a blog of my own!
You are such an inspiration to so many I can tell! But also know that your stories and advice help me in more ways than I can possibly describe!
Thank you so much!
