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!

[Contest Finished]
What a great giveaway! I rely on your site a lot. Many of my family members are Greek Orthodox who are vegan for much of the year. Your site is a savior.
Love the new look! The summary of your most recent blog posts is fantastic. I recently raved about your recipes to my friends. Since then they have all checked out your blog and already begun cooking and baking! Keep up the food inspiration!
I just received my first lululemon workout top as a birthday present and LOVE it. I would love to get some more!
Your website/your posts are an inspiration for a healthier/happier life.
Recently obsessed with hot power yoga – haven’t yet taken the plunge into Lululemon but would love to! Like the new banner – its so fresh :)
Your recipes never fail to make me drool!! Showed my hubby the donut recipes and and he can’t wait for me to make them. Thanks again for sharing!!
there workout gear looks amazing!! would love to win
Winning this would be sooo awesome!
I think about how you had the courage to leave your unhappy job almost every day, and think I’m moving closer to having the same courage you did. Thank you for sharing all of your stories! And your delicious foods, too, of course! I made the cookie dough balls during the weekend hurricane. Amazing!!!
Oh my goodness, there are a lot of comments here! I guess Everybody really likes Lulumon! I have never bought anything from Lulumon but I would love to. True story: The other day I was getting ready to leave for a yoga class, turned sideways in the mirror and realized you could see through my threadbare black pants and see my underwear! I have literally had those pants (and worn them regularly!) since highschool dance class, about 8 years now. They are ready to retire!
We should be so lucky and proud that Lululemon is a Canadian company. I lived in their clothes all summer (well….the 3 pieces I have). The only bad thing about this is that they are so loose and comfy that I feel like my work clothes don’t fit anymore!!!
I recently moved to the states from Calgary and only have ONE Lululemon … can you imagine? But it’s so worth the 45min drive. Best running gear ever!
YAY! Who doesn’t love Lululemon?!?
I dream of lululemon!
You’ve inspired me from day one, and have helped me more than you will ever know. I am so thankful for you, Angela!
Love your blog!
Oh my gosh those donuts just made me melt a little bit. I wish I could run home from work and makes these RIGHT NOW. Sigh.
Anything for lululemon! I literally live in their clothes since I work from home. True happiness. :)
I love Lulu Lemon but everything is so expensive!
Oooh, great giveaway!
