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]
Thanks for the recap on all the recipes – I’ve printed most of them out to try – I’m excited especially the protein pizza and the cheeze sauce!
Thanks for the giftcard giveaway opportunity – I hope I win! :)
Love you Angela! Can’t wait to try and mess with Phyllo!! I also would love to win the Luluemon gift because the items there are so awesome but are out of my budget!
I LOVE Lululemon!! Best giveaway ever!!
Love lululemon!
I need new workout clothes soooo badly!!!!
Love your blog!!!
Thanks for posting the Chocolate Chunk Toffee Bars again – such a great recipe!
Ooh so excited for the chance at some great workout clothes! I took my kids to the park yesterday and let’s just say I was the outcast of all the other stay at home moms, wearing my sweatpants and college t!
I love lululemon, but it is so expensive! I only own a couple pieces.
P.S. The photo on your header is beautiful, and certainly illustrates that this is a cooking blog…but this is more than just a cooking blog, and your face is much nicer and much more interesting than vegetables (in my opinion). What about a picture of you with your vegetables? Or cooking? Or hiking?
I count myself as one of the lucky ones who didn’t miss a post! Thanks for the great recap though :)
I’ve been able to see all the yummy recipes you posted :-). I drool every time I go into Lululemon because everything is so pretty in there. I’ve never actually bought anything from the store though because it would cost me an arm and a leg!
I have been keeping up. The recipes are great! Thanks for sharing.
I have just started using your website and I am addicted. The food has been delicious. My husband and my girls (ages 3 and 1) are loving it. Thanks for sharing your passion.
I’m new to your blog but love it and think the idea of a seasonal header is really creative. Have fun with it! What an amazing giveaway… I never shop for myself and would be thrilled to win!!!
Your website has helped motivate me so much as I’ve worked to get my butt outside and run and to change my diet. Thanks!
Thanks for recapping your posts, they ALL look amazing!!!
Lululemon is the only athletic clothes brand that fits me really well!!
Yea, I love giveaways and I love Lululemon. They just opened a store about an hour from me and I’d love an excuse to go check it out. I made you toffee bars and they were delicious!! I over cooked them a bit so they ended up a little too crunchy but the flavor is great. I also used buckwheat flour instead of spelt flour and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. I think I should have decreased the cooking time with my substitutions, plus I put them in 2 loaf pans since my square pan had to be tossed because the teflon was peeling. I also made your rustic chocolate chip oat cake for my sisters birthday and it was a huge hit. Even my husband (who is not a fan of banana anything) tried it and said it was pretty good :)) Thanks for all the great recipes!!
Ooohh! I love Lulemon! Gift certificates make me happy! Makes me want to roll out my mat and break into downward dog pose! lol.
I love love love your blog by the way. Your photography is gorgeous! And the food is mouth-watering.
Cheers!
Thank you for the recap! There are so many of your recipes I want to try but I can’t keep up!
