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!

Oh how exciting! I’ve always wanted something from lulu but I simply can’t afford it on my student budget.

AMAZING giveaway! And your last month-or-so of food has been incredible, so sad anyone missed it!! :) xo
Oh I got a pair of running capris last year from Lululemon and they are SO wonderful! I can’t afford their clothes otherwise but with this giftcard I could :)
I really could use some new workout clothes. Love your blog! Tried your donuts the other day & they were a hit with my family!
Hi Ange – thank you for the post on your career path. I’m going through a tough time right now with deciding what I want to do and feeling pressured to follow my educational path, even though I’m not sure it’s right for me. I’m struggling to find a job and start my career and it’s been very hard. It’s affecting other parts of my life, like keeping me motivated to train for the NYC marathon I’m running in November. I love your blog though – a highlight of my day and a nice break from job searching! It’s inspirational, so thank you.
Thanks for all the wonderful giveaways! Lululemon is such a fun store! My next recipe from your site…Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll- yum!
So glad I got all of your posts! It is the first thing I read in the morning while eating breakfast before work and they really inspire me. It would be a dark and sad week if I had not been able to read anything from you for that long. Thanks for doing such a great job with your recipes and your positive energy! :)
You are such an inspiration! I can safely say your blog has completely changed my relationship with food. THANK YOU!
I can’t wait to make the bars!
I am glad i got to see all your posts before. And the New header is ok but nothing Special….
Wowsa, how on earth do you draw from all of us now that we are in the 2000’s, heehee! Can you believe I’m driving 3 hrs to the US to buy donut pans? I’ve been dying to try any of your donut recipes but have been reluctant as I know I can/will demolish them on own but I’m caving and making the journey this weekend!:-)
I was able to see all of your posts as they were posted.
Yay for giveaways!!
Great giveaway idea! Thank you so much.
Ooooh I would love to get some new pants!!!
