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]
My workout clothes all come from Target . I would LOVE to try something from Lululemon . Have read how great they are for years. :)
I didn’t know Lululemon was Canadian! I’m taking a drive up there on my way to a wedding to do some hiking in a few national parks, can’t wait! It would be nice to be sporting some new hiking gear ; )
I would love some new fitness clothing for teaching classes!! Fingers crossed:)
I love lululemon!
Love your blog but mostly your attitude. Thanks.
I looooove skor, I’m definitely putting these on my “to-bake list”!
And the cheesesauce sounds like the one my family would just whip together.
Even though there were troubles, thanks for putting up all the missed recipes! You’re fabulous :)
Love lulu!
I love lulu and I love the donuts you’ve made the past couple weeks!
Thanks for all the great tips! Love your blog!
I’m trying to get back in shape–the gift card would be great! Thanks for the giveaways!
Thankfully I didn’t miss any of your posts, but this was an excellent reminder that I have been meaning to make #3. And #5. And #10. And visit #6.
every time you run that picture of those doughnuts, it makes me want a doughnut pan!
I would love to try something from lululemon, so this would be perfect!
Love, love, love Lululemon…and all of your recipes! :)
I’m starting grad school and really liked your post on career happiness. Thanks for having the giveaway! :)
Thanks for all the great recipes – I’m hooked on your back-on-track salad!
I’m in love w all the donut ideas you have!! I went out and got a donut pan the other day and have made probably 2 dozen donuts! I keep bringing them into work to test out the recipes!!
I love all your recipes and your photography. Thanks for inspiring me to get creative in the kitchen!
I opened up my recent Glow magazine and saw your face, and I had to do a double take because I thought that I had just recognized a friend. Great job on everything!
Thing #1-I love your blog and implement your recipes into my diet all the time. It’s so refreshing to find fun new ways to eat veggies :-)
Thing #2-I love Lululemon but have yet to own lulu. I am a fitness instructor who WAS unable to wear any lulu until my recent 50lb weight loss. My plan was to reward myself with Lulu once i lost the weight. But alas, now that I’ve lost MORE than planned, all I just look at all the college students at work (I work at a University) and dream since I cannot afford Lulu quite yet. I’m saving though… One of these days, one of these days.
OMG! I would be thrilled to try my first piece of lululemon wear! As always, a joy to read your site. Thank you for the beautiful blog and inspiration!
